Why F1 merch is having a moment

F1’s fashion-forward audience bring demand for stylish merch as they look to incorporate teamwear into everyday looks – and teams have been delivering. The sport's global expansion, combined with collaborations from heavyweight brands like Puma, Tommy Hilfiger and Adidas, has transformed team collections into legitimate fashion statements.

The key to making teamwear fashionable is moderation and combination. Be strategic with your teamwear choices, like opting for one show-stopping piece to centre your outfit around. Don’t be afraid to play with styles either – tailored sports fits are having a moment right now.

Last year’s front runners

Red Bull

Red Bull knows how to create popular merchandise – we’ve all spotted the blue and red pieces out and about. However, the new collaboration with Ford has elevated the legendary Red Bull blue to new heights, with this season's Team Gilet being the standout piece. Ford blue with just the right amount of branding to feel premium, not promotional.

How to style it

Primary blue is a great colour to incorporate into your wardrobe – it’s calming, sophisticated and strong. The gilet works well as a layering piece – pop it over a white t-shirt and dark denim trousers, then layer it with a wool overcoat, a beanie hat, and Chelsea boots. You’ll be looking cosy and chic no matter how unpredictable the spring weather is.

Why it works

Gilets are in right now, thanks to a resurgence in pop culture, and this look hits the sweet spot between technical and tailored.

McLaren

McLaren’s signature papaya has been toned down with the introduction of a black panel across the chest of their teamwear t-shirt. This makes it infinitely easier to style with other pieces in your wardrobe. After all, black goes with everything!

How to style it

The secret to keeping the papaya fresh is keeping everything else neutral. Think black jeans or relaxed-fit trousers, crisp white trainers, and maybe a black denim or leather jacket over the top. Simple, but striking.

Why it works

Papaya orange is the unofficial colour of the year (sorry pantone). With Taylor Swift’s album launch and Timothy Chalamet’s Marty Supreme premiere featuring plenty of orange, papaya is having its moment – so let it shine in your wardrobe.

Ferrari

Ferrari red’ remains iconic, and this season's T7 Half-Zip Sweater proves that sometimes the classics are popular for good reason. The colour works with almost anything – exactly what you want from a wardrobe investment piece.

How to style it

Layering it over a button-down shirt (white or light blue) with wide-leg trousers and leather loafers could be perfect for casual Fridays or weekend lunches. You could also opt for baggy jeans, a popular choice for Charles Leclerc himself, and premium white trainers for that elevated athleisure look that's dominated street style lately.

Why it works

The half-zip silhouette is flattering and practical, and you can adjust your look whenever you please – fully zipped for structure, half-zipped for laid-back, or collar popped for an Italian style.

Mercedes

The Mercedes padded coat is a great way to stay stylish and warm this spring. The off-black colour gives a vintage wash that is timeless and trendy, while the logo placement feels intentional – seamlessly fitting into the overall design.

How to style it

This jacket works well if you’re into street style – so layering it over a hoodie and tech trousers is a great option. However, it can also work when worn oversized with straight-leg jeans, chunky trainers, and sunglasses. Plenty to think about!

Why it works

Because it's off-black, you can dress it up or down more than any other piece in this lineup – it's your Swiss Army knife of F1 merch.

The New Kids on the Grid

Cadillac:

There's something undeniably cool about repping a brand-new team, and Cadillac's debut collection doesn't disappoint. The Cadillac x Tommy Hilfiger Replica Coach Jacket strikes the perfect balance between sporty and smart casual. Think Americana meets modern minimalism.

How to style it

You will be trend-setting with this new team, but layering it over a crisp white t-shirt and tailored grey wool trousers is a good start. Finish with smart trainers and a leather tote bag for a cool, classic and elevated look.

Why it works

The subtle Cadillac crest on the chest feels heritage without being heavy-handed, bringing that American racing legacy without looking like a pit crew member.

Audi

Audi's entrance into F1 comes with a collection that feels more Berlin streetwear than F1 paddock. Their replica team shirt is a masterclass in understated cool – the kind of piece that will have heads turning.

How to style it

Wearing it under an oversized wool coat with slim-fit jeans and minimalist sneakers should be striking but smooth. Accessorise with sunglasses and a cross-body bag for a luxery off-duty look – very Copenhagen street-style.

Why it works

The technical fabric used for the Audi teamwear wicks sweat, making it suitable for working out – a rare piece that you could wear to the office and the gym!

The Midfield Mixers

Alpine

There's something very chic about Alpine's pink-and-blue combo – the mash-up feels apt for Parisian nightlife or yacht-hopping down the French Riviera. The 2026 Team Polo might seem race-specific at first glance, but it's surprisingly wearable.

How to style it

Style it like any graphic tee – under an oversized cream cardigan with light-wash jeans or with a black leather jacket for edge. The colours work beautifully with neutral tones, so try it with beige wide-leg trousers and brown loafers for a surprisingly sophisticated look.

Why it works

The pink-and-blue palette is flattering on most skin tones and photographs exceptionally well, making it ideal for F1’s Instagram generation.

Aston Martin

Aston Martin's racing green is one of the best colours in motorsport, and the Cognizant F1 2026 Team Cap in black lets you rep the team in a cool, sophisticated way.

How to style it

This cap would look perfect paired with an oversized grey suit jacket, white tee, and black jeans. Add clean white trainers and a beige trench coat for an optimal British heritage look.

Why it works

Baseball caps are having a high-fashion moment, and this one lets you participate without the designer price tag.

Haas

Haas' 2026 Team Set Up T-Shirt deserves serious attention, thanks to their red and black colourway feeling sporty and luxurious. Supporting Haas just got a lot more stylish!

How to style it

Style it with black jeans, black Converse, and a denim jacket for a more streetwear-inspired approach – the red accents should do all the talking.

Why it works

The colour palette is inherently versatile. Black, red, and white are wardrobe staples for a reason.

Racing Bulls

Racing Bulls may well the most wearable collection of the entire grid. The 2026 Team T-Shirt sports a blue-and-white palette that pairs beautifully with casual wardrobe staples you already own.

How to style it

Weaving it over a white button-down shirt with the collar peeking out, while styling with high-waisted tailored trousers and loafers should have you looking the part. Accessorise with a pearl necklace and statement belt for an even more eye-catching look.

Why it works

Racing Bulls’ youthful approach to merch means their pieces look great layered in unexpected ways.

Williams:

The 2026 Williams collection with New Era truly marks a fresh chapter for the historic team. Their updated logo is bold and modern, and the Williams Navy Varsity Jacket showcases it perfectly.

How to style it

Wear it over a white shirt, a navy sweater vest, and a tie with cream-coloured trousers for a sporty vibe that works just as well for smart-casual office environments as it does for front row at London Fashion Week.

Why it works

Carlos Sainz has said the varsity jacket is his favourite piece, and you can see why – it's versatile, stylish, and unique.

The bottom line

F1 teamwear has evolved dramatically in the last few years. These pieces are designed to fit into your life, whether you're hitting the track or just hitting the shops. The key is treating them like any other part of your wardrobe – mix them with your existing pieces, keep the rest of your outfit balanced, and don't overthink it.

The sport's aesthetic evolution mirrors its cultural expansion. As F1 becomes more mainstream, the merch becomes more wearable – it's a virtuous cycle that benefits everyone who wants to rep their team without sacrificing personal style.

Your team loyalty shouldn't be confined to 24 race weekends a year. The real question is, which team's aesthetic matches your personal style? Because in 2026, looking good and supporting your team are no longer mutually exclusive.
