If you are someone (a soccer mom, perhaps?) who appreciates creativity and style, but often finds themselves in a soccer jersey, I see you. While a soccer jersey paired with a comfortable pair of jeans and sneakers (and maybe a cute ruffled sock) is just perfect, it can be fun to add a little more interest. Maybe some color, pattern, or a skirt (or all three?!)? Let’s check out some inspiration for getting creative with our soccer jerseys. Now, how to style soccer jerseys: soccer mom edition!

How to Style Soccer Jerseys With Skirts
This outfit is simple enough to throw together, likely with similar options that we have in our closet. Loafers (Sambas or another pair of sneakers would dress this down a bit, but still look very stylish), and a simple mini or midi skirt. A denim skirt would pair nicely with anything, and a leopard skirt would do the same, but add even more interest.
If you like this look, Mexico’s jersey is red & green with a cool pattern. My daughter has this jersey and I love it every time she wear it.
Love this idea to use a plaid skirt — it adds a lovely pattern and screams fall / autumn here in the US, as we soccer moms know, is full-on soccer season. This outfit also features a collared button down under the jersey which is an idea I hadn’t thought of on my own. This adds a bit more warmth, while allowing for more color and pattern — I think there are horses on there — love that! Anthropologie usually has some form of a similar option. The jacket adds a beautiful pop of color. Here’s a similar jacket that’s hanging out in my cart until I start my fall shopping.
Also, I like how the solid colored jersey is paired with a patterned bottom. The print from the collared shirt and the plaid skirt is broken up with the solid jersey.
Here’s a nice solid green jersey option. Here’s the flip, with white being the primary color, with a bit of green interest.
This long skirt is a great option, whether denim or otherwise. This is the opposite of the outfit above — a patterned jersey and a solid bottom. Playing with patterns and solids (like this blue one or this green one) is in this way is a fun opportunity to get creative and playful!
An Argentina jersey would be a great way to recreate the look in this post!
Two things I’m buying this fall season are a longer denim skirt (midi probably), as well as a shorter denim skirt. Since both of these can be worn throughout every season and stand-in easily for denim (with the addition of tights depending on the season), I’m excited to add them to my rotation. Last year, the ones I had my eye on sold out too quickly. Do you have any suggestions for styles or fits that you like? I’m also eyeing this faux suede midi skirt from The Drop.

Okay… if you’re like me, you’ve wondered what pants go well with soccer jerseys — fortunately, we’ve got all these great examples to help us envision our look — from pants to shorts. Have fun with this! Go with your most comfortable pant for the time of year (jeans? corduroys? linen?) and pair with a jersey.
You can see from the styling above that while jeans work very well with jerseys, so does just about any other pant you have on hand. This allows for a lot of versatility when considering your day — if you’re wearing your kid’s jersey to their game in the morning, and have plans after, you can style the jersey up.
I have these leopard shorts from böhme which are similar to the ones above. I have found them to be true to size.
How to Style Soccer Jerseys With Accessories / Shoes & Socks
I can’t get enough of Sambas (and all the similar Adidas brand sneaks). Adidas sure knows how to bring the fun with many colors and styles, which often sell out way too quickly. While Sambas are the classic soccer sneaker with versatility that meets the needs and hues of every season, of course, any sneaker you enjoy would work here. These sweet socks also add such fun, and for a really reasonable price, which is helpful.
Sock options if you’re in the market for some new ones:
Ruffle striped sock I Retro mini crew sock I Plain ruffled socks
Samba & Gazelle options:
Silver metallic Sambas I Pink & green Gazelles I Cream & light blue Sambas

Tips for Styling Soccer Jerseys
- Authenticity: With style, it’s all about being authentic to yourself. Maybe push yourself out of your comfort zone a bit (or don’t!) when considering how to style a soccer jersey, but maintain authenticity to what feels good to you. This means not comparing yourself to others on the sidelines — just do you.
- Accessorize: as noted above, add in accessories just like you would any other outfit. Add jewelry, funky sunglasses, a scarf around your neck or hair, and/or cute socks and sneaks.
- Comfort: This goes without saying. The older I get, the more I insist on being comfortable. You can feel good, look good, and still be comfortable. I ALWAYS consider the temperature and other factors of the day to ensure I will be, at the veryyyy least, mostly comfortable. I spent way too much time in my youth (maybe you too?) being uncomfortable to fit trends, etc. and I’m so appreciative of reaching a point where comfort is pretty much non-negotiable for me.
- Jerseys with meaning: You know we are big Messi fans, so we rock our Messi gear often. But, we do have other loyalties based on where we live and where our family lives. It’s really fun to buy jerseys based on these personal connections, and easily become talking points with others, which is fun conversation starter.
FAQ: Styling Soccer Jerseys
What pants go well with a soccer jersey?
Literally any pant. I know this can be overwhelming for some people who appreciate guidelines, but, really, you can pair a jersey with any pant that’s seasonally appropriate and comfortable, and throw on a pair of sneakers or comfy shoes and go.
What age should you stop wearing jerseys?
While some individuals may wonder when the right time to throw in the soccer jersey is, I think most of us will agree that there is no time for this. You can and should wear a soccer jersey to cheer on your favorite team, or simply show your own style, for as long as you desire. Soccer jerseys are permanent fixtures in your wardrobe, as long as you would like them to be!
Should soccer jerseys be baggy?
Again, there’s no straight answer for this one. It depends on the look you’re going for. Some people may wear a super baggy jersey as a dress, while others just like the baggy look, with a small tuck in the front. I, personally, prefer a jersey that’s a bit more fitted which tucks into my pants.
Is it okay to wear football jerseys casually?
Yes, absolutely. Jerseys can be worn casually, for sport (obviously), and dressed up, which we’ve seen in this post. Who knew soccer jerseys could be so versatile?! Prior to really getting “into” soccer these last few years, I would have never considered adding a soccer jersey to my wardrobe. I love to have expanded in this way!
Do you tuck in a soccer jersey?
This one is entirely up to you. As I noted, I prefer to tuck mine in entirely, or at least a bit in the front. But, I think this entirely depends on your outfit. If your soccer jersey is on the baggier side and you’re not sure what to do, you can also consider tying it in the front or back. If there’s not enough fabric to tie it, use a hair tie to tie it up.
And that wraps it up — we’ve got some great soccer jersey outfit ideas! How do you like to style a jersey? We’d love to hear your ideas! Do you get super creative and funky with pattern mixing, or do you prefer to keep it more simple? Do tell!
