Team Togs: AJ Auxerre

Since I'm quite surprised (more shocked and appalled, really) that we have yet to touch Ligue 1 - a Team Togs emergency was needed to cover this void. I could probably proclaim myself a Francophile - I do love the language, the food, the culture, the men, and of course, the fashion yet I probably won't go so far as saying so. Another thing I love from France is but of course, the wine. Say what you want about the growth of Australian, Californian, and Chilean wine - nothing beats a good bottle from Burgundy.

Our Team Togs this time is AJ Auxerre, a team based none other than in the Bourgougne region. For Arsenal fans, this was the team Bacary Sagna grew up and flourished in. He talks about his hometown, Sens sentimentally in an interview, and one thing I've always noted was his constant mention of the vineyards in it. With that in mind, I attempt to infuse the feel of country chic in this winery inspired outfit.

Auxerre's colour is a beautiful powder blue though the team dons an all white kit with this very same blue trimmings. Without being too literal, powder blue and white are two very true colour themes in this look. We add a dose of none other than burgundy to pay tribute to the wine making culture of the region where AJ Auxerre is from.

Think spring afternoon walking through the Burgundian vineyards, picnics under a tree, your very own Bacary Sagna optional, though recommended. This is a perfect outfit for a relaxed atmosphere, girly yet not high maintenance. The printed tee plays down the pastel floral skirt, add a leather satchel in that beautiful powder blue once more, stacked bracelets, burgundy brogues, and a straw fedora.

Team Togs: AIK Stockholm

It's not often we would venture to the Swedish lands for inspiration - but in terms of fashion, the nation is home to that rustic minimalist aesthetic. With designs of clean crisp lines of an earthy feel - Stockholm's street style has become a source of inspiration for many fashion enthusiasts around the world. 

AIK is one of Stockholm's representatives in the footballing world, and paying homage to both the team's semi-socialist portrait of itself ("The Public Sports Club") and Sweden's folk chic look, this outfit came to being. Donning black and yellow as the team's colours, the outfit uses a yellow sun dress as the basic premise and black accents to toughen up the dress. 

To avoid that taxi cab look - a cropped leather jacket in dusty blue is used over the dress. Rustic yet clean accessories are used to achieve the whole look: grey combat military style boots with knee high socks, straw hat, black titanium ring, floral scarf, and authentic Lapland braided bracelets.
