One Twitter user said: “Who dressed Gareth Southgate? Is he wearing a polo shirt, a shirt or pyjamas under that cheap suit?”
Another added: “Just catching up on Gareth Southgate’s blue polo shirt with light grey suit and no belt sartorial travesty. Hope to god this doesn’t catch on like the waistcoats did.”
However some were keen, saying they were “delighted to see Gareth Southgate is adopting my suit-and-polo-shirt chic on the touchline this evening”.
