Gareth Southgate has said he will ditch his trademark waistcoat for more casual wear this summer
England manager Gareth Southgate has revealed his plans this summer to swap his wardrobe for a more comfortable look on the touchline at Euro 2024.
Southgate's announced that this tournament could be his last if he England weren't to win and all eyes are on what he could wear.
That look saw a massive rise in sales of waistcoats in M&S throughout the tournament, but it looks like now we may see the England manager swap that look for something more casual.
Southgate modelled for GQ last week where he shared that he would be wearing "more short sleeved knits" to try and create a relaxed environment.
According to an industry expert for OLBG, there's a 9.1% chance that Southgate goes against that and switches back to his trademark Waistcoat for the opening game.

| Knitted Cardigan | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| Turtleneck | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Waistcoat | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| England tracksuit | 16/1 | 5.9% |
