In the latest campaign from Charles Tyrwhitt, rugby player Marcus Smith and cricketer Joe Root are taking the lead and stepping up their off-duty game with some sharp summer outfits.

The frontmen for Charles Tyrwhitt’s summer campaign are no strangers to dedication and hard work. Joe Root and Marcus Smith take game time seriously, and as two of the UK’s most recognisable athletes – both men top of the field in their respective sports – they know that when you look the part, you perform the part.

Joe Root: cricket star

With an MBE already under his belt, cricketer Joe Root can be very proud of what he has achieved so far in his career. Part of the team that brought England the 2019 ODI World Cup win, Root also holds the record for the highest number of matches and wins as England’s Test captain after succeeding Alastair Cook in 2017 – at the age of just 23.

Marcus Smith: mercurial talent

Marcus Smith’s rapid rise to fame, meanwhile, has seen him cement his place as an England regular. His front-foot approach lights up the field whenever he plays, and in recent games – including against the All Blacks – he continued to show his attacking flair.

Look good, perform better

Both ambassadors have previously spoken about how key preparation is in their respective fields, naming Charles Tyrwhitt the ideal choice for their off-field preparation and appearances. The brand has a versatile range of cuts and sizes, so time after time both Smith and Root have appeared in looks that suit them down to a T – always looking fresh while remaining timeless and elegant. Worn by players off the pitch, presenters, coaches, and supporters in the stands, the spirit of sportsmanship is a unifying theme that runs throughout the brand. Charles Tyrwhitt’s ambassadors are sports royalty, and with Root and Smith leading this summer’s campaign, all eyes are on these two incredible talents who are keen to make their mark.
