Earn your Spurs: how to look as sharp as Tottenham's top players

In association with

There's a reason fashion labels like to associate themselves with sports teams. Sure, there’s the glamour and the glory of being linked with some of the best sportsmen in the world – that’s a given. But it’s also a highly effective display of versatility. If you can dress a short stocky defender in the same suit as a tall lanky attacker and make them both look good, then you’re on to something.

This was the challenge BOSS embraced when it partnered with Tottenham Hotspur FC to become the club’s Official Formalwear Supplier. To cope with the diverse body shapes and styles of the first-team squad, BOSS chose to use its Create Your Look line in order to offer as wide a range of sizes and cuts as possible (without the option or time to go fully bespoke for each player).

With the Create Your Look line, jacket, trousers and waistcoats are available as separates, enabling the athletes to select their preferred sizes and fits to create a suit that is an ideal match for their physique.

For example, if one prefers slim-fit trousers, but a regular-fit jacket, that’s not an issue. Or if they have thighs as thick as a tree trunk but still want a contemporary silhouette, then they can go slim on top and straight leg on the bottom.

The Tottenham players’ only restriction is the colour: dark blue suits perfected with a crisp navy cotton shirt and a pure silk navy tie. The team look is finished with black leather derby shoes and belt – both made in Italy.

TIME TO MIX IT UP

Of course, unless you’re planning to get the call up from Mauricio Pochettino any day soon, then you don’t need to follow suit (if you’ll excuse the pun).

With the Create Your Look collection you can mix and match not only the styles but also the colours of your separate items.

BOSS has engineered the dying process to ensure a 100% colour match when buying your suiting separately, eliminating the need to purchase a full suit in one go. That means you can come back and pick up the matching grey trousers to the blazer at a later date – or go for a contrasting colour in the range.

Regardless of what you opt for, the suits are crafted from lightweight innovative 100% virgin wool, woven with natural stretch for freedom of movement and maximum comfort. This also results in crease resistance, making them a great option for business travel.

For a more summery look you can also select between a natural or light blue linen suits. Of course, you can choose to pair the light blue jacket with a pair of natural trousers. Or vice versa. With the Create Your Look line, the choice is very much yours.
