Back in 2019, Megan Thee Stallion introduced us to Hot Girl Summer – and we haven’t stopped searching for an aesthetic every year since.

We’ve been rat girls and yacht girls, and even a tomato on occasion.

And so it made sense that in a year when England were favourites to win the European Football Championship, this summer would be all about the Euros girlies.

Whether you’re obsessed with football all year round – or you’re only it for the hot guys in shorts – this aesthetic is all about dressing on theme.

We can take our lead from the WAGs who’ve been showing their support. Megan Pickford and Dani Dyer have donned the fail-safe uniform of an England tee and blue jeans, but its Bukayo Saka’s stunning girlfriend, Tolami Benson, who has rightly been dubbed ‘WAG of the Season’ for her impeccable pitch-side looks.

Despite Tolami admitting on Instagram that making those Three Lions look chic isn’t easy, writing ‘you know those England tops are so hard to style,’ we’d never have guessed it.

The 23-year-old made her fashion credentials known during England’s match against Serbia, when she wore a custom leather biker jacket by Antonia Bronze, emblazoned with an 87– Saka’s Arsenal shirt number in the early days of his career.

Essentially, the Euros girlie aesthetic is an England shirt… but make it fashion.

And now, after a disappointing start to the tournament, somehow England turned things around, and they’ll be facing Spain in the final on Sunday.

This means, of course, that any Euros girlies out there only have one match left to rock the look.

Thankfully, lots of retailers have next day delivery, and you can always be old fashioned, and pop into a store IRL. Or, why not shop your wardrobe, and see what you can make work from items you already own?

So, here are Metro.co.uk’s top picks to nail the Euros girlie aesthetic – for one last time…

The England tee

The hero piece of the look is, of course, an England shirt – but they don’t come cheap.

The Women’s Nike Dri-FIT Football Replica Shirt seen on Megan and Ellie costs a whopping £84.99.

That being said, the Euros does come around every four years, so you could look at it as an investment piece, if you’re truly committed to the cause.

If that’s just too much dosh to justify though, we get you, and there are other options available.

You could grab yourself a navy blue Nike Football Short-Sleeve Top for £49.99 or you can buy the Nike Football T-shirt in white, which is a relative steal at £27.99.

If you want to emulate Tolami, you could opt for the England Nike Anthem Jacket, although this is another pricey piece at £133.

Tolami also looks to have customised hers, as it has a cropped fit.

The crop top

If the England top isn’t quite your vibe, a Euros themed crop top or baby tee works too.

We absolutely loved the range by Illustrated by Weezy. If you’re a Declan Rice fan which, lets face it, who isn’t (and we LOVE his girlfriend and baby mama Lauren Fryer), then we’ve got just the crop for you: the brand has a fabulous Rice Girls Baby Tee, a white and pink crop for £26.99.

If you’d rather keep to the red and white them though, there’s Weezy’s It’s Coming Home Baby Tee, for a more patriotic look, again at just £26.99.

However, both tops sadly won’t get to you in time for the game now – but they are great options if you want to show your support all year round (and you never know, there might be an open top bus parade you could wear it to…)

The denim

A Euros girlie cannot possibly wear a cute little England tee without teaming it with denim for a classic look.

If you’re looking to update your reliable blue jeans, there’s a cute high-waisted pair from Stradivarius in a trendier straight-leg style that’s everywhere at the moment.

Alternatively, if the weather allows, you could team with denim shorts instead.

Zara releases an iteration of their TRF denim shorts every year – a classic, blue denim wash, that are just the perfect length.

Or, if you want a more stylish look, you can opt for a denim midi skirt.

A lighter wash pairs well with the England whites, and M&S have a great option that comes in various lengths, and sizes range from 6 to 24.

The accessories

Finally, accessories can turn your outfit from to passable to pitch-perfect.

If you’re watching the game outside in the glaring sunshine, TeddyT’s Men’s Three Lions England Embroidered Navy Cotton Bucket Hat may be the perfect buy.

A cute bucket hat moment is something we’re all for, especially when it only costs £19.99.

Or, if you want to avoid the hat hair, why not try an adorable red and white scrunchie? We’re thinking a slicked-back patriotic ponytail or low bun.

And if you can’t have a hot footballer on arm, you may as well have a stunning bag. We’ve seen a lot of baguette and shoulder bags in the stands this season.

We love this burgundy bag from ASOS.
