Top Picks from the 2026 Formula 1 Teamwear Collections and Styling Tips

The 2026 Formula 1 teamwear collections have launched, offering a diverse array of items that go far beyond race day attire. As F1's global appeal grows, collaborations with brands like Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, and Adidas have elevated team merchandise into true fashion statements. Lifestyle and Culture contributor Esme Buxton highlights standout pieces from each team's drop and shares expert tips on styling them for everyday wear, emphasizing moderation, strategic layering, and color coordination to make team pride trendy and conversation-starting.

Why F1 Merch is Having a Moment

F1’s fashion-forward fans are driving demand for stylish, wearable teamwear. As the sport expands culturally, teams are delivering collections that blend technical functionality with high-end aesthetics. The key to fashionable teamwear? Opt for one standout piece as your outfit's focal point, mix it with neutral tones, and experiment with tailored sports fits. 'Wearing teamwear can be trendy, eye-catching, and a great conversation starter, so wear it with pride,' notes Buxton.

Established Teams: Last Year’s Front Runners

Red Bull

Red Bull's collaboration with Ford introduces a premium Ford blue in the standout Team Gilet. With just the right branding, it's sophisticated rather than promotional. Style it layered over a white t-shirt and dark denim, topped with a wool overcoat, beanie, and Chelsea boots for a cosy, chic look against spring's unpredictability. Gilets are trending thanks to pop culture, striking a balance between technical and tailored.

McLaren

McLaren tones down its signature papaya with a black chest panel on the teamwear t-shirt, making it versatile with any wardrobe. Keep papaya fresh by pairing with neutrals: black jeans, white trainers, and a black denim or leather jacket. Papaya is the color of the moment, boosted by cultural nods like Taylor Swift’s album and Timothée Chalamet’s premiere.

Ferrari

Iconic Ferrari red shines in the T7 Half-Zip Sweater, a classic investment piece. Layer over a white or light blue button-down with wide-leg trousers and loafers for casual Fridays, or baggy jeans and white trainers for athleisure. The half-zip offers versatility—zipped for structure, half-zipped for laid-back, or collar popped for Italian flair.

Mercedes

The Mercedes padded coat in off-black provides timeless warmth with intentional logo placement. For street style, layer over a hoodie and tech trousers; for casual, go oversized with straight-leg jeans, chunky trainers, and sunglasses. Its versatility makes it the 'Swiss Army knife' of F1 merch.

New Kids on the Grid

Cadillac

Cadillac's debut with Tommy Hilfiger features the Replica Coach Jacket, blending Americana and minimalism. Layer over a white t-shirt with grey wool trousers, smart trainers, and a leather tote for an elevated, trend-setting look. The subtle crest evokes American racing heritage without excess.

Audi

Audi's collection channels Berlin streetwear in the replica team shirt, made from sweat-wicking technical fabric. Wear under an oversized wool coat with slim-fit jeans, minimalist sneakers, sunglasses, and a cross-body bag for a luxurious off-duty vibe. It's perfect for office-to-gym transitions.

The Midfield Mixers

Alpine

Alpine's pink-and-blue 2026 Team Polo evokes Parisian chic. Style under an oversized cream cardigan with light-wash jeans, or a black leather jacket; try beige wide-leg trousers and brown loafers for sophistication. The palette flatters most skin tones and shines on social media.

Aston Martin

Racing green meets the black Cognizant F1 2026 Team Cap for sophisticated support. Pair with an oversized grey suit jacket, white tee, black jeans, white trainers, and a beige trench for British heritage style. Baseball caps are high-fashion now, at an accessible price.

Haas

Haas' red-and-black 2026 Team Set Up T-Shirt feels sporty yet luxurious. Team with black jeans, Converse, and a denim jacket for streetwear—the red accents pop against neutrals, leveraging wardrobe staples.

Racing Bulls

Racing Bulls' blue-and-white 2026 Team T-Shirt is effortlessly wearable. Layer over a white button-down with tailored trousers and loafers, adding pearls or a statement belt. Its youthful design excels in unexpected layering.

Williams

The Williams Navy Varsity Jacket with New Era updates the logo boldly. Wear over a white shirt, navy sweater vest, tie, and cream trousers for smart-casual versatility. Carlos Sainz calls it his favorite for its style and uniqueness.

The Bottom Line

F1 teamwear has evolved to integrate seamlessly into daily life, mirroring the sport's mainstream rise. Mix with existing wardrobe pieces, balance outfits, and match aesthetics to your style—team loyalty now enhances, rather than limits, fashion.
