Soccer Wife Summer

Soccer Wife Summer

Written by Una Loncar

The wave of the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer has swept the streets of Jersey City, Hoboken, and New York City with a novel twist in the world of fashion and luxury. For the first time in four years an influx of women is entering their soccer wife era, channeling Victoria Beckham, Gisele Bündchen, and Georgina Rodriguez by styling vibrant jerseys with current fashion trends. Additionally, digital platforms are resurfacing chic content for female soccer enthusiasts. Mint Market is diving into the heated soccer summer by bringing a fresh dimension to our wardrobe and channeling soccer wifey energy. We are integrating our favorite modes of fashion with our current World Cup-inspired lifestyle. Mint Market offers a few styling tips to kick off July, highlighting popular items to pair your jersey with!

1. Y2K fashion is currently circulating throughout the fashion industry and on social media. Celebrities and influencers are using a touch of Y2K in their current soccer craze. We suggest following the Victoria Beckham stride, by tightening a jersey and wearing it with a short denim or khaki skirt, paired with high platform wedges or kitten heels. Another suggestion is oversized sunglasses, chunky boots, and a cute baseball cap. All items available at Mint Market!

 

                     

 

2. Boho-chic is another popular aesthetic right now. This style includes long flowy skirts, linen shirts and pants, low-waisted harem pants, and accessories such as chunky earrings, bracelet stacks, sandals, belts and waist beads. These articles of clothing accentuate the natural curvature of the body and revive the feminine self. Influencers have embraced boho-chic in this soccer wife era!

3. The Western cowgirl aesthetic is being served in soccer jerseys. The girls are obsessed with Western boots and cowboy hats. This look elevates a soccer jersey whether you’re headed to a sports bar or cheering from the stands. Mint Market offers a wide assortment of vintage and contemporary cowboy boots to help you channel your inner champion. 

4. Street style is a timeless approach to styling jerseys. At Mint Market, we encourage a loose fit with baggy pants and oversized jerseys. We propose exploring street fashion by trying unique silhouettes, textures, and patterns. Celebrities such as Tate McRae, Rihanna, and Julia Fox exemplify this look.

 

As an extension of the Soccer Wife Summer, Mint Market has created world flags in support of our favorite teams. The pieces are composed entirely of recycled materials, requiring a scavenger hunt throughout Jersey City to source them. We ended up using Especialito newspaper, Styrofoam, wood, dowels, and heavy body acrylic paint.
