This year the England kit was designed by Nike and features a central number, badge and sponsor combination – which many critics have likened to the ‘96 design – but will the 2020 shirt stand the test of time?

An interesting article, but one that misses the reality. In Germany, people look at you askance if you wear long trousers in summer or a suit in general (that doesn’t look like it’s from WalMart or super skinny). For the average citizen, wearing a trench coat and hat is already a disguise. I met my husband, Simon, at college. We’ve been together for 30 years and married for 26. After we’d been dating for two weeks, he took me to meet his family. I wore the dungarees because I was nervous – I come from a culture where most of my cousins had arranged marriages – and I felt as if I could hide in them.

One might think, “Cool. The best way to wear vintage is to just add lots of accessories.” However, that is not true. There’s something called the “cumulative costume effect,” which happens if you add more and more, especially vintage accessories. We already made a guide that highlighted the pitfalls of adding too many accessories to an outfit or the so-called “over-accessorizing.” As I get older I grow less attached to material things. I throw things out because I want to make my life leaner. It’s just a few things and a few people that are really valuable that I hold on to – the others fall off the edges and I let them go.Extending garment longevity is the purpose of Vanish. These days garment consumption can be very fast, a study claims that garments could be disposed after only 10 wears (“Global Fashion Agenda and Boston Consulting Group, Pulse of the fashion industry” 2018, p. 59). While it is a fashion choice for many – the designs from the 90s are more basic and fit into current fashion trends a lot better – there’s also a nostalgic element to it. Fans are also drawn to kits which were worn during particular – often triumphant – seasons, adds Dean Fallon, fashion design lecturer at Birmingham City University. I’ve had the suit since I was 28 and I’m reluctant to get rid of it because I’d never be able to find one like it again. It’s as good as new – I still wear it occasionally, although not as much as I did in the 1970s.

I bought this dress on Cuba Street in central Wellington when I was 25. There was a stall selling tie-dyed batik outfits. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this incredible ultramarine blue. I thought: “That will be easy to wear in summer.” I moved to New York in the 1970s as a student before getting a job at New York University. I saw this suit in the window of a shop on 8th Street and it just yelled to me that I had to buy it. Because I’m so tall and thin, it can be hard for me to find clothes, but when I tried it on, it fitted perfectly. Scott wanted to explore the world and we started taking longer trips. In 2000, we spent six months travelling around Central America and the dress came with us. I could wear it hiking or at the end of the day when we went for a beer and a meal. It was just a simple thing: I didn’t have to worry what I looked like because the dress was bright and cheerful, and that’s how I felt. When I look at photos from that trip, I see a young woman, madly in love, looking at the man she loves without a care in the world and her life stretching before her. Hopefully,” says Fallon. “In terms of design, it has the makings of a classic and I think it’s up there compared to previous incarnations. The home strip is understated and classic, which is reminiscent of the Mexico ‘86 shirt, but the technical fabrication and details – such as the staggered tape down the side of the body – are undeniably a great modern styling feature.With Vanish, stain removal results are visible after 1 wash and garment condition is maintained after multiple washes.
