The biggest tournament in women’s sport kicked off on July 20, with the Matilda’s securing a narrow victory over the Republic of Ireland. It was Steph Catley, on assuming the captaincy, who guided the Matildas on the back of her decisive penalty kick. With over 75,000 in attendance for the match, fans came from all over Australia to take part in the opening match. Sydney was awash in green and gold, and the wave of wattle is looking to wash over the rest of the country in the coming weeks.
With plenty of games taking place across five Australian cities, fans have bought their tickets in droves, and not just for the Matildas. The humble football jersey has, as it has for men, become a street style stalwart around the world. With designers like Grace Wales Bonner and Martine Rose delivering stylish iterations of the jersey. As well as teams like Venezia and Monaco at a club level, tapping designers to elevate their match day looks to resonate with the street style set.
Styling the World Cup jersey, as easy as the task sounds, can really be pulled off in so many varying ways that it might seem daunting. And during the World Cup, this amalgam of ‘Blokecore’ and ‘Blokette’ style looks delivered a bricolage of colour and personal style. Where green and gold reigned supreme, there was plenty of the other colours and styles for the myriad other fixtures across the country, even if your team wasn’t playing!
