All eyes may be on the pitch when England men's team line up for their opening World Cup game against Croatia in Dallas.

But it's their fancy threads, as well as their fancy footwork, that's had people talking – from their official off-duty smart casual look to collaborations with a skateboard brand that's seen designs sell out within days of being launched.

Gone are the days when the team would be seen in a traditional three-piece suit.

Instead there is a collection of 12 mix-and-match pieces in navy and cream from Marks and Spencer, the FA's official partner, with not a tie in sight, all accessorised with loafers.

A tie-in with Nike and skateboarding brand Palace saw many items sell out on their launch – with the team having worn a pale grey Palace tracksuit to arrive for a pre-World Cup friendly against Costa Rica.

And there were baby blue Nike tracksuits on show as they stepped off their plane on arrival into the US for the tournament.

What does their current look say about where England – and its fashion – are at?

Celebrity stylist Alex Longmore, who has worked with stars including Vogue Williams, Little Mix and Jamie Laing, said the overall vibe was "quite commercial" and covered "every aspect" of men's clothing.
