Given how much these shirts mean to the fans, it would be a shame to wear them only a few times a year, during a game. Luckily, no one stops you from wearing your AC Milan shirt any day, anytime, anywhere. If you don’t know how to do that, without going full sports-mode on, this article is here to teach you how to style the AC Milan shirt in order to make the most out of it. All you need is a little bit of creativity and curiosity and you’ll be able to rock the beloved shirt on multiple occasions.

Style No. 1: The Casual Look

This is the easiest way you can incorporate your AC Milan into your everyday style. Just pair it with a pair of dark or light-wash black jeans, a pair of preferably white sneakers and a good denim or bomber jacket and there you have it, a casual yet stylish way you can wear your AC Milan shirt on a daily basis.

Once you have the basic components and feel confident with this, you can play with textures and colours. You can try spice things up with a pair of joggers and a cap or you can find yourself a combo you’re pleased with and make it your go-to option.

Choosing to wear your favourite club’s shirt outside the football pitch is a great thing to do! These shirts are designed for high levels of movement, so they are comfy and durable which makes them great for everyday wear.

Style No. 2: The Smart-Casual Style

This is a combo not many would dare to try, but once you do, is like you found  the El Dorado of fashion and style. Here’s what you need to accomplish this look:
• Chinos or tailored trousers
• Loafers or desert boots
• Blazer or lightweight overshirt

If you want to give this look an even greater image, you can go for the polo version of the AC Milan shirt and tuck that into your chinos. Make sure you match your loafers, it would be best to invest in a neutral colour such as white, beige or grey and, to really sell that “old money” look, you can throw a blazer over your shoulders and there you have it! A perfect way to wear your favourite sports shirt while still looking put-together and ready for a smart-casual event.
