England players including captain Steven Gerrard, Chelsea's Ashley Cole and Southampton midfielder Adam Lallana have swapped their garish boots for shiny shoes to model the Three Lions' official World Cup suits.

Designed by high street retailer Marks and Spencer, the suits which will be worn by Roy Hodgson and his players are grey and come with special features including an embroidered World Cup winners star on the inside envelope pocket, the England crest on the Autograph label and a red, white and blue sleeve and pocket lining.

In an exclusive photoshoot with men's magazine GQ,12 candidates for this summer's trip to Brazil showed off England's new look, which can be bought for £199 from M&S stores throughout the country.

Along with Gerrard, Leighton Baines and Gary Cahill, each of whom look certain to make Hodgson's 23-man squad, a number of other players whose places appear less secure also took part in the shoot.

Chelsea defender Cole is included, despite fears over his lack of playing time under Jose Mourinho this season and the emergence of Southampton left-back Luke Shaw. Cole has impressed in his recent performances for the Blues, with many tipping the 33-year-old to earn a place because of his vast experience at the highest level.

Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy, whose side are on the brink of Premier League relegation, faces serious competition from West Brom's Ben Foster and Celtic's Fraser Forster for a place on the plane alongside Joe Hart, while Jermain Defoe's move to Toronto FC has put his spot in jeopardy.

Saints striker Rickie Lambert has netted 11 Premier League goals for Mauricio Pochettino's side this season, although some pundits believe West Ham forward Andy Carroll would be a better target man should Hodgson require a plan B in South America.

Other players featured who are not yet guaranteed to make Hodgson's squad include Manchester United pair Chris Smalling and Michael Carrick, who both failed to hit top form under former manager David Moyes.

Andros Townsend, who was ruled of this summer's showpiece tournament on Thursday due to ankle surgery, is also pictured.

Marks & Spencer were the provider of England’s suits for the World Cup in South Africa four years ago as Fabio Capello’s side crashed out to Germany at the last-16 stage.

The new suits will be made to measure for every player in the squad with Hodgson set to name his 23-man group on May 12, the day after the Premier League season finishes.

'We are delighted with what has been created for the team and staff to wear,’ Club England managing director Adrian Bevington said.

'With qualification secured to the World Cup, one of the most exciting parts of planning for the tournament is always the team suit and this has been no exception.

'The FA and Marks and Spencer have enjoyed a great relationship over six years, and that will continue next summer in Brazil.’
