Gary Lineker for Next
About
Gary Lineker models in Next campaign
Gary Lineker was, until now, probably best known for being the face of Leicester’s Walkers Crisps but with his first line of clothing released by British retailer Next, he has firmly secured his place as a fashion icon as well.
Gary Lineker’s edit is said to suit any occasion, showcasing his stylish clothes to the world.
The Gary Lineker Next collaboration comes just in time for November’s Qatar World Cup, with Leicester legend Gary Lineker teaming up with Next, which has its headquarters in Enderby, for the occasion.
There are twelve looks available, ranging from casual items to more formal wear.
In launching the clothing, Gary Lineker felt it was right to capitalise on his love of fashion, and he also felt that working with another Leicester company – the second following his long-running partnership with Walkers Crisps – was important.
“Fashion is something I’m really passionate about and I like the variety offered by Next. There is great tailoring and also smart casual pieces for going out socialising,” Gary Lineker revealed.
“On the other hand, there is much more casual clothing for my Sundays off and holidays, both of which are very important to me. Next, although known internationally of course, is also a brand with a strong connection to Leicester!”
From a grey bomber to tailored suits, Gary’s winter collection provides options that people can either dope up or dope down depending on what they have going on.
When the cold weather hits, Lineker had the best coats for cold days of football, but also dinners.
The 61-year-old also revealed that the range reflects his changing approach to fashion from his footballing days. He said: “I am much more conscious of what I wear and open to trying different styles and new colours now.”
“With my schedule, the reality is I also simply need more clothes. When you are a player you can happily wear a tracksuit for most of the week, before putting on your club or country kit at the weekend.”
Gary Lineker also revealed that, although he sometimes wears festive jumpers, he believed his range is more stylish and comfortable.
He said: “I have been known to wear a Christmas jumper!
“It is the time of year where you need to be fun and not take yourself too seriously! I would lean towards comfort [over style]. It is better to feel good in what you wear than to only follow a particular trend. There is no reason though why both cannot be achieved.”
The Gary Lineker Next range is available in stores and online now.
