Whether it be American football, basketball or baseball, it can surely be said that the sports Jersey has become more prevalent in sports than the equipment sportsmen play with. The American sports Jersey unifies years of dedication, heart and passion. Year after year these sports Jerseys have become increasingly popular especially in UK street styles.
Now let’s be honest; the majority of those we see in the UK wearing Jerseys most likely wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a baseball and a tennis ball, demonstrating such a sheepish ignorance to the world of sport it almost causes offence. Many can be mildly excused because it is evident they are aware that Jerseys certainly are very fashionable!
As the summer days actually begin to feel like summer days, PAUSE aims to support your wardrobe as well as our American counterparts as we introduce you to a selection of Jerseys from a variety of sports that will have you looking ‘dope’ whilst ‘straight flexin’ this summer. We also drop a little knowledge for you, so in the event of you being asked “Why are you wearing that Jersey?”, you can make a better reply than ‘It looks good’. That will certainly silence any ‘haters’!

Ever wondered what James Bond’s perfect evening wear was? Well now you don’t have to, created for Daniel Craig as James bond, Tom Fords O’Connor Jacket has also formed the base of his SS14 collection. And with its bright floral patterns, flamingo and crimson pinks, right through to cobalt blues, this collection certainly makes an entrance!
Tom Ford has always embraced colour in his collections, and we were very pleased to see that this is still the case. Also incorporating jacquard patterns into the line, anyone who follows this trend is bound to stand out from the crowd.
Pairing some of the jackets with plain white v-neck t-shirts really helped bring out the bold colours Tom Ford loves to show off in his collections, and we at PAUSE are certain that we will be seeing a lot more of this pairing in the future.
Not only were bright tailored jackets presented, but we are also shown an array of patterned velvet slippers worn by each model to really show off how colourful and exciting SS14 is guaranteed to be!
