Waistcoat Wednesday

Home • BBC News • Waistcoat Wednesday
Waistcoat Wednesday is an event for fans to show their support for the England national team, and it’s manager, Gareth Southgate.

Somewhat of an overnight style icon, Southgate is garnering attention for his now-famed waistcoat – which he has been seen sporting at England’s matches in Russia.

Waistcoat Wednesday has been set up to coincide with England’s World Cup 2018 semi-final match against Croatia this evening.

News and sports presenters have been hosting their programme’s dress in a waistcoat – Images below.
