"I grew up in Zurich, the most international city in Switzerland and there fashion is a mix of influences from the European fashion capitals, the same ones that generate the understated style of my country", Loris Benito, player of the Girondins de Bordeaux told us. and the Swiss national team that will face Italy in the next European Championships. Loris' imprinting is different from what the new wave players have had, those talents who show their way of understanding fashion on social networks. Being extraneous to certain dynamics most of the time helps to be without veils and without filters, exactly like the chat we had with the Swiss full-back who is now involved in Ligue 1 but also experienced in Portugal.
He told us about his tastes in terms of fashion, his being social and the risks that a professional can run on digital platforms if managed without criteria. But also of his Switzerland - stylistically and footballing speaking - and of the way in which he chooses his outfits, focusing only on his preferences and not on the trends that everyone follows.
The image and perception of a football player off the pitch is increasing in value and fashion is one of the most important and used tools to show your personality. How would you define your style?
I think it’s hard to define my style in a single way. I like to change according to the occasion: if I go out with friends, when I go dancing and when I go to an event. What I wear the most in this period is smart casual. I also really like wearing suits, although there are very few occasions right now - unless you want to go to training with that. I like to vary the style according to the occasion.

In the next European Championships you will face the Italian national team in Group A and your Switzerland has great talents. What are your expectations?
I think it's not always normal for Switzerland to qualify for a big tournament. In the last 10 years it has become the norm and this is because the group is excellent as you said, with many talents, with a lot of quality: every player now plays in important leagues, in great teams. However, this also increases the pressure. It means that we have not qualified only to participate but to pass the round. Group A has Italy which is clearly the favorite, there is Turkey which has a lot of quality and it can be seen in the players who are doing well in their teams, then there is Wales which is difficult because it fights relentlessly supported. by a whole people. Our goal is clearly to pass the first stage.
