A number of international stars were dressed to impress as they hit the training grounds of their respective national teams this week.
Top-flight domestic football has been suspended until early April as qualifiers for the Euro 2024 competition kick off later this month.
And some players have used this as an opportunity to don their best gear and show it off to photographers waiting at their respective training grounds.
For example, the French squad arrived for service on Monday afternoon and saw some of their star players turn up in designer clothes.
Newly appointed national team captain Kylian Mbappé gave a thumbs up to photographers in Clarefontaine when he was spotted wearing a sleek navy blue trench coat.
