International break may be over, but we are still thinking about the arrival fits. We have compiled a collection of our favourites from this International Window.

Alexia Putellas - La Reina of Chic Comfort

There’s something very Alexia Putellas about making comfort look this composed. The Attico grey cargo trousers lean fully into that oversized, modern silhouette, and with that many pockets? You’d think there’s one reserved for every winning medal she’s collected along the way.

Up top, the Attico turtleneck shifts the whole look into something more chic. The asymmetrical cut and wrap-style high neck balance out the looseness of the trousers. Pair this with the thick-framed, square Oakley sunglasses that finish this look exactly how it needs to be finished. They take the outfit from comfortable to chic without trying too hard.

The Attico Grey Trouser with Logo £659

The Attico Virgin wool turtleneck sweater £540

Black Belleville Oakley Sunglasses £145

Vicky Lopez - Another Adidas Staple

This Adidas piece has genuinely gone triple platinum in my household. Adidas rarely miss for me anyway, but this Tang jacket is on a different level, and still somehow one I haven’t managed to get my hands on.

Originally released as a China-exclusive, it leans into traditional toggle closures and design details inspired by Chinese aesthetics.

They’re not easy to come by now, so it’s a bit of a hunt. Vintage spots are your best bet, with Brick Lane having had a few floating around recently if you’re willing to dig. Adidas UK have also dropped other colourways, so it’s worth keeping an eye on restocks. Find your version and let it carry the outfit, it does all the work for you.

Lotte Wubben-Moy - All About The Statement Piece

If there’s one thing Lotte Wubben-Moy is going to do, it’s make a statement. Whether it’s on the pitch or off it, she knows how to get people talking, and this arrival fit was no exception.

A clear nod to Bend It Like Beckham, this look taps into a moment that lives beyond football, and leans into proper 2000s film culture. The graphic tee is the kind of piece that doesn’t just reference something iconic, but something culturally relevant.

Layered with a striped red tee underneath, it’s also doing the practical work, because English summer is still very much… pending. It adds that extra bit of texture while keeping the whole look grounded, casual, and wearable.

Film Club T-shirt £50

Pieces long sleeve super soft t-shirt in red and white stripe £24

Naomie Feller - Jacket's Do The Talking

Naomie, take a bow. As I’ve said before, anything Adidas does usually wins me over… and this red croc bomber jacket has got me hooked.

It’s the perfect example of how to elevate a simple base with one proper statement piece. Adidas have endless options for this kind of thing, but this one does the heavy lifting of being a bold and textured jacket.

Paired with pleated black trousers, which yes, I’ve been banging on about pleats for months now, it just proves the point. One pleat can genuinely change the whole shape of a look, take it from flat to structured instantly. Finished with the chunky Campus 00s in a matching burgundy, it all ties together without overcomplicating it.

Adidas originals red snake faux leather jacket £130

Bershka Barrel Trousers £39.99

Adidas campus 00s shoes £90 (on sale £40.50)

Delphine Cascarino - A Stylist A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

The French players always deliver when it comes to arrivals, so narrowing it down is never easy, but I’m obsessed with androgynous fashion, and Delphine absolutely smashes it out the park here.

Styled by Pepito (@ppitoo__), the look leans into Seoul-based label Songzio who focus their pieces on sharp tailoring and graceful silhouettes, finding that balance between structure and flow.

If you’re trying to recreate it without the designer price tag, there are easy ways in. Ties are easily accessible via Vinted or your local charity shop. And this is where you can make it your own: keep it classic with a navy silk tie, or go bold with colour or pattern to make it more you.

The footwear is what really seals it. A premium, elevated take on Nike Jordans, finished with metallic gold detailing, adds that luxury edge to an otherwise street-leaning fit. The contrast between street-wear styled shoes, and structured outfit create an effortlessly cool look.

Jinx Balloon Jorts £65

Oxford Boxy Shirt £29.90

Jordan 4 Retro Metalic Gold W £349.99 (On Sale £199.99)

Kika Nazareth - Taking Centre Stage

Straight off a Rosalia stage, Kika knows her colours, and yellow is certainly one that suits her.

Spring and summer is all about that pop of colour, and this T90 tee taps into that perfectly while still keeping it rooted in football culture. It’s bold and exactly what you want from a statement tee.

Paired with white straight-leg jeans, it keeps the whole look balanced and lets the colour do the talking.
