The UEFA European Women’s Championships are set to kick off on July 2, and we are cancelling all plans to support the Lionesses.
We’re not just cheerleading from the sidelines, painting our faces with the St. George’s flag, and taking up a new hobby (football, of course), but we’re shopping the M&S x FA Collection.
Yes, you guessed it, M&S is set to drop another capsule as part of its tailoring partnership with the English Football Association (FA). The upcoming drop couldn’t come at a better time now M&S’ online orders are back in full swing following the cyber attack.
Marks and Spencer has been the official suit supplier for the England Men’s Team for many decades (since 2007 to be exact). But in 2023 it became the official tailor for the Senior Women’s Team too, and the collaboration has continued.
The partnership will see the women’s team sport the tailored pieces for its official team photoshoot, as well as throughout the tournament. But, it’s also available for shoppers to get their hands on too so we can feel part of the squad.
Speaking about the collection, the Director of M&S Womenswear, Maddy Evans, shared: ‘We’re thrilled to have collaborated with the English FA over the last 18 years and we’re proud to have delivered this latest collection ahead of the Lionesses next tournament in Switzerland. It comprises an effortless, modern tailoring edit for spring/summer 2025, that feels authentic to the team and that the players will feel proud to wear. Championing style and versatility and underpinned by new modern shapes, it’s a collection for an incredible team of women, who are role models to the nation and who we’ll be supporting every step of the way.’
The M&S x FA Womenswear Collection is set to drop in select stores and online today, June 26, which is a week before the Championships commence.
The full 13-piece is a limited-edition collection that is complete with smart tailored pieces, as well as co-ords, which can be paired together or styled as separates. The collection follows a tonal colour palette of black, khaki and ecru, which is versatile and timeless, so you can team with almost anything, and wear for years to come.
Some of the pieces include an asymmetric waistcoat, a short sleeve blazer, pleated Bermuda shorts, as well as wide leg and the popular barrel leg trousers.
The collection will also include basics, such as a white and black tank top that is a versatile staple to wear on its own with jeans, shorts, or a midi skirt, though it can also be layered under a blazer or linen shirt too.
The M&S x FA Collection ranges in price from £15 for a tank top up to £59 for the shot sleeve blazer, which we think is reasonable.
Whether you purchase one staple to style numerous ways with items in your closet already, or you shop the matching sets and a basic that you can mix and match is entirely up to you. What we do know is this chic edit will not stay on the shelves for long if previous collections are anything to go by.
