The Premier League’s Best (and Worst) Dressed Managers in 2025
When it comes to the Premier League, fashion may not win you trophies, but it certainly turns heads. As touchline style becomes as closely analysed as tactics, some managers are celebrated for sartorial flair, while others are… less so. Fashion remains subjective, of course, but recent analyses from November 2025 reveal some clear favourites, and a few repeat offenders.
The Best Dressed Managers of 2025
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
The Catalan master continues to reign supreme, not only in football but also in fashion. Guardiola’s effortless blend of designer casualwear, often courtesy of C.P. Company, makes him the benchmark for understated cool. His minimalist wardrobe of neutral tones and smart tailoring reflects the precision of his football philosophy.
Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
A model of “smart casual,” Emery brings continental elegance to the Midlands. From slim-fit blazers to crisp shirts, his refined, functional style mirrors the discipline of his resurgent Villa side.
Thomas Frank (Tottenham Hotspur)
Since arriving in North London, Frank has elevated Spurs’ touchline chic. His preference for clean, minimal silhouettes and understated colours exudes confidence without ostentation, earning him plaudits from fans and fashion editors alike.
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
Arteta’s trademark all-black ensembles have become synonymous with calm authority. His sharp tailoring and sleek knitwear signal control and modern sophistication, a perfect complement to Arsenal’s sleek, possession-based football.
Scott Parker (Burnley)
Parker remains the Premier League’s most fashion-forward traditionalist. Known for experimenting with textures and sharp cuts, his wardrobe nods to classic British tailoring with a contemporary twist.
The Worst Dressed Managers of 2025
Rúben Amorim (Manchester United)
A tactical innovator but a style misstep this season. Amorim’s outfit in November 2025 drew ridicule for what one analyst dubbed a “parlour game of mismatched pieces.” The Portuguese coach’s daring choices sometimes push creativity beyond coherence.
Keith Andrews (Brentford)
Andrews’ recent touchline appearance, a heavily colour-coordinated workwear look, failed to impress. Critics called it more “DIY chic” than designer edge, suggesting practicality won out over presentation.
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)
A promising young manager let down by perplexing trouser choices. Described as “a befuddling blend of too loose and too tight,” Iraola’s fit issues have become a recurring topic among fans on social media.
Nuno Espírito Santo (Nottingham Forest)
Forever faithful to the tracksuit, Nuno’s attire has long divided opinion. His fondness for tightly fitted sportswear might work in training, but under the stadium lights, it lacks the polish of his more sartorial peers.
Notable Mentions
Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace)
Glasner’s “wintry look” has become his trademark, puffer jackets, dark layers, and functional footwear. Practical and consistent, if not adventurous.
Sean Dyche (Everton)
A man of routine, Dyche sticks to his trusty tracksuit and avoids flashiness at all costs. He’s even been known to sideline his Tom Ford trainers to protect them from the Goodison mud, a pragmatic choice befitting his old-school ethos.
The Verdict
From Guardiola’s designer precision to Arteta’s monochrome mastery, some managers treat the touchline as their runway. Others, perhaps wisely, focus more on the football than the fabric. Yet in 2025, one thing is clear: the Premier League isn’t just a battle of tactics, but of tailoring too.
