The Lineker Edit

We are proud to be teaming up with much-loved sports personality Gary Lineker, to introduce The Lineker Edit. He has sat down to speak to us about how glasses and sunglasses have become a go-to fashion staple of his to be worn with any look, whether it’s on the terrace, at the beach or in the studio.

Hollywood Glamour

Grand styles that never go out of fashion.

Born in 1960 in Leicester, Gary’s parents worked on the fruit and veg stall at Leicester’s famous market. With football on the brain, young Gary looked up to icons such as Bobby Moore and Frank Worthington, with his style becoming heavily influenced by the stars of the silver screen. Off the pitch, Gary’s sense of style also comes from the 60’s, taking heritage from a range of icons and looks.

“My style icons throughout the ages probably started with someone like Steve McQueen, who was just so cool whatever he wore, whether it was a pair of sunglasses or a nice chunky cardigan. Cary Grant too probably down to how suave he looked in a perfectly fitting suit. Even sports people, like Muhammad Ali, yes, he’s a boxer and he wore a lot of shorts in the ring, but outside of the ring he always looked effortlessly cool.”
