Croatian red & white checker summer fashion

Croatian Fashion

by Lara V. 

This time last year the streets in Russia were filled with football fans wearing Croatian red and white checker clothing. The further Croatia went on in the tournament, the more people wearing red and white checkers would attract attention and support from other fans. 

There is a reason Croatia’s football kit has been voted one of the best in the world. Not only does it stand out, but there is something alluring about the red and white checkers. Famous fashion designer Marc Jacobs also thinks so. Jacobs recently released shoes and a bag bearing a striking resemblance to Croatia’s national symbol. 

If you want to show your Croatian colours this summer and wearing a football shirt is not your thing, then check out these fashion items.

The Croatian-style CROkini was released last month and has been extremely popular. There are three models available, two swimsuit models and one two-piece. All of the swimsuits are made exclusively from Italian lycra, but the rest of the process, from production to packaging is done in Croatia.
