PANINARO
The Paninaro subculture, with its roots in 1980s Milan, was known for its vibrant, luxury fashion and a carefree lifestyle centered around café culture and mopeds. This subculture's emphasis on designer brands like Stone Island and C.P. Company became influential in the UK, especially among "casuals," a subculture of football fans who preferred stylish clothing.
In the late 1980s, British football fans traveling to Europe for matches encountered the Paninaro style, and it made a significant impression. The emphasis on luxury, casual wear, and bold looks resonated with the football casual scene, which sought to distinguish itself from traditional fan stereotypes. Shared values like tribalism and identity strengthened this cultural exchange. Today, the influence of Paninaro on English football culture is still evident. Fashion brands associated with the Paninaro subculture have maintained their appeal among modern football fans. C.P. Company and Stone Island remain popular in football terraces, blending practicality with high style. This continued relevance underscores how Paninaro aesthetics cater to a desire for both unique personal expression and allegiance to a group identity – traits central to football culture.
