Few styles carry the same mix of casual cool and cultural weight as terrace fashion. Born on the football terraces of the UK in the late ’70s and ’80s, the look has since grown into an international uniform, marked by clean lines, premium sportswear, and subtle touches that give it a distinct edge. Without further ado, featuring everything in between staple sneakers and classic outerwear, the ‘Terrace Looks’ Style Guide delivers matchday heritage reimagined for everyday wear.
For an outfit built around outerwear that’s equal parts practical and stylish, the The North Face Red Box jacket checks both boxes with a lightweight build and versatile look. Layered underneath, a Fred Perry Knitted longsleeve shirt keeps the nod to tradition alive – few brands are as synonymous with terrace culture as Fred Perry.
Balanced out with loose straight Levi’s 568 jeans, the silhouette stays relaxed without looking baggy while a waist bag from C.P. Company brings in Italian luxury vibes. On foot, the adidas Handball Spezial adds a touch of history – a silhouette originally made for German handball courts but later adopted by English football fans on their European away days.

This one leans into terrace culture’s obsession with premium sportswear labels. The C.P. Company Medium Jacket sets the tone, worn over a Stone Island zip knit hoodie for an easy layer play that blends comfort and credibility. Paired with Stone Island cargo trousers, this fit has functionality built in – ideal for all-day wear while keeping the style sharp.
Accessories are kept minimal but intentional with the classic Polo Ralph Lauren cap complementing the outerwear. At ground level, the adidas Samba OG keeps the story going – a streamlined classic that was picked up by traveling English supporters abroad, who, intrigued by sportswear unfamiliar on the island and keen to stand out, helped cement its status within terrace culture.

In terrace style, it’s the mix of premium sportswear with personal flair – standing out without straying from the code, kind of. This look taps into that energy, starting with a Lacoste zip sweatshirt layered over a Polo Ralph Lauren Henley longsleeve. Both pieces add a touch of preppy minimalism, balanced by a subtle C.P. Company knit cap.
For the bottoms, corduroy pants by Drôle de Monsieur introduce texture and a retro twist, setting up color contrast with the footwear: The Nike Total 90 takes it back to the early 2000s football era – a sneaker choice that lightly breaks from tradition but still feels authentic to the terraces’ football DNA.
