LORIS KARIUS might have to fight for his place in the Liverpool line-up, but he’ll always be No.1 in the footballer fashion stakes.
The Liverpool stopper has had a tough 2017/18 season, but looks set to end it on a high at next week’s Champions League final with Real Madrid.
@adidas_de #NeverFollow #LK1The German goalkeeper finished his season, starting every game since mid January.
Karius’ new-found confidence has shone through off the pitch as well as on it.
He regularly updates his Instagram with pictures of himself in-game and donning his finest threads.
But if you can’t afford Gucci and Balenciaga like the star goalkeeper, don’t worry.
We’ve picked out high street versions of some of his favourite outfits.
Modern man
It seems like every pro footballer these days likes a bit of Gucci but Loris Karius really loves it.
Here he is posing with that blue steel stance and his favourite hand gesture wearing two pieces by the brand.
The outfit may look casual, but it set him back a cool £2,500.
He wears an oversized denim jacket appliquéd with the word ‘Modern’ in a medieval typeface layered over a hot-pink hoodie complete with distressed detailing and embroidered with the word ‘loved’ at the cuff.
Save yourself a buck and buy these high street lookalikes from Boohoo and Weekday.
At only £25, you could buy this outfit 100 times over for the rice of Karius’.
Right on track
Karius uploaded this picture of himself in Regent Street and captioned it with the British flag.
And he was wearing yet another Gucci piece – this time an orange track top complete with varsity striped webbing and the brand’s logo printed down the arm.
This jacket goes for £770 and has a pair of matching jogging bottoms for full look.

Kappa’s offering is nearly as good, and the price is even better – you’ll save £720.
Layer it over a V-neck T-shirt and finish with a pair of round-frame shades.
Man’s best friend
If you look at Karius’ Instagram page you’ll notice a plethora of pictures with his pet dog Banksy.
A dog really is a man’s best friend.
But so is Balenciaga.
The 23-year-old took the time to show off his coveted Triple S trainers by the brand – the style has sold out in seconds every time its drop into store, despite costing £615.

- Crewneck T-shirt, £6 from Marks and Spencer – buy here
Steal the goalkeeper’s look by shopping on the high street.
Marks and Spencer’s comfortable white T-shirt works well with a pair of bleach, distressed skinnies.
Take this simple look to a new level with a bright orange beanie and a chunky pair of trainers a la Karius.
The dog is optional.

Gucci gang
If you didn’t know by now, Karius likes himself some Gucci.
Here he is cruising in his car sporting one of the brand’s £870 hoodies.
His seat belt may be partially covering this expensive piece, but we could spot it a mile off.
The tricolor marmont graphics were designed by Creative Director Alessandro Michele to satire counterfeit Gucci goods.
Still, we’d rather have the £15 version.
Boohoo’s hoodie is a dead ringer and will save you £855.

- Sunglasses, £10 from – buy here
- Ribbed beanie, £12 from Niice at ASOS – buy here
Saint Laurent Saturdays
Karius got creative on Instagram stories recently, splashing this picture of himself with the words ‘Saturday in a bold typeface.
The footballer posed candidly but he’d definitely put a lot of thought into his look.
He layered his favourite pink Gucci hoodie under a £1,450 Saint Laurent jacket.
The wool baseball bomber is detailed with varsity style webbing and fastens with poppers through the front just like the 1950s versions.
- Baseball jacket, £69.99 from Weekday at Zalando – buy here
- Jersey hoodie, £10 from Weekday – buy here
- Baseball cap, £6.99 from New Look at ASOS – buy here
There are plenty of high street offerings that will achieve this look but Weekday’s is uncanny – and its £1,380 cheaper than the designer version.
Accessorise with shades and a black baseball cap.
Baby driver
Never a stranger to showing off, Karius posted this candid pic of himself perched against his custom Mercedes G Class on Instagram entitled ‘Sundays’….we wish all Sundays were like this.
But his flash car wasn’t all we had our eyes on – the footballer was sporting label of the moment Off-White Co Virgil Abloh.
His sold-out sweatshirt is made from soft jersey and printed with industrial stripes down the arms – and it set him him back £320.
You can still buy the hoodie version online here.
- Printed long sleeve top, £21 from Converse at ASOS – buy here
- Ripped jeans, £20 from River Island – buy here
Converse have a similar red jersey long sleeved top with white graphics printed down the arm for a fraction of the cost.
Pair it with River Island ripped black jeans and you’ve saved yourself a stack.
The outfit wouldn’t be complete without accessories though, namely a pair of black plimsolls and these layered dog tags from Topman.
Now all you need is the car…
