We sent Rachael to Selfridges in the Trafford Centre to check out Sportopia and sort her summer wardrobe out in style.

Gareth’s lads may have been beaten in the Euros final, but when it comes to success and scoring big for 2024, Selfridges is definitely bringing it home!

The Trafford Centre’s celebrated store is promising sporting chic and victory on the style front in a summer of fashion with Sportopia at Selfridges.

And it’s handed out a season ticket to looking good with all your favourite big hitting brands, as well as events and activities to make sure you’ll be leaving a winner.

On the ball

There’s a ‘Sportopia’ themed space in the menswear department with premier league unisex merchandise including some amazing retro football shirts (there’s even a special Sportopia home and away kit). And, while you’re choosing your classic sporting gear, if you want to get in on a piece of the action too, you can prepare to become a champion when you take over a team on its football table.

Sporting heroes

You’re guaranteed to find all the gold medal winning sportswear names at Selfridges including Adanola, GymShark, Tala, Skims, Represent, Patagonia, and New Era. It’s got all the latest pieces, so whether you’re looking for leggings to help you knock the downward dog pose out of the park in your yoga class, top t-shirts to take weight-lifting to another level in the gym, or just new sweats to relax in for your casual weekend wardrobe or a summer of chilling with your mates, Selfridges is on its game.

It’s even got its own exclusives with Sisters & Seekers!

And the best of it all is that, with a huge range of stock in store, you can try before you buy to ensure there are no style own goals just before an important event.

The Little Sportopia Party

The little ones aren’t going to be left on the starting line – in fact the whole family can celebrate the launch of Sportopia at Selfridges’ ultimate summer sports party. This go-to fixture is happening on Thursday, August 1, between 9am and 11am. The action’s taking place across the upper level kids’ area, and you’ll be able to enjoy music from a live DJ and loads of crafts and sporty games, along with complimentary sweet treats and refreshments – all for just £12 per person. This event has now sold out.

The Manchester store’s only half an hour away from Liverpool so it couldn’t be easier to just get in the car and head along the M62.

And there’s free parking at the Trafford Centre right by Selfridges which totally puts the store in a record-breaking league of its own.
