GARETH SOUTHGATE has become an unlikely style icon at the World Cup.
Some bosses prefer to keep it casual on the sidelines, but the England manager has donned his trademark navy waistcoat at every match in Russia.
Why does he wear a waistcoat?
Southgate may wear the waistcoat in memory of his grandfather Arthur Toll.
He was a former Royal Marine and it is understood that he always dressed very smartly.
And he ensured that his waistcoat was always perfectly fitted.
The former Middlesbrough boss previously claimed that his militant past would help him in his role as England boss.
Where can I buy the same waistcoat?
Along with his waistcoat, Southgate also wears navy blue trousers, a light blue shirt and a red, white and blue striped tie.
And fans that are wanting to mimic his image will only have to nip down to Marks and Spencers.
