Campaigners name Saturday Beard & Waistcoat Day in honour of Gareth Southgate
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has named Saturday as National Beard & Waistcoat Day in honour of England football manager Gareth Southgate as the team face Sweden in a World Cup Quarter Final.
The campaigners say that Southgate’s beard and waistcoat combo spells out fashion gravitas.
Unfortunately most writing on the matter has ignored the significance of the beard and waistcoast combo. Nicholas Lezard in the Guardian is a case in point:

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the thought that anyone with a beard can be a fashion icon will not go down well in some quarters but Gareth Southgate’s beard and waistcoat is the trendsetter of summer 2018
