And we thought AVB was trendy…
Paul Tisdale is renowned for his fashion sense but he surpassed his already sky high standards with his get-up ahead of his side’s game with Stevenage on Sunday.
The Exeter City boss, who usually loves a flat cap, donned a trilby which topped off an outfit consisting of a blue shirt and a bright orange waistcoat inside a tweed blazer.
The striking garb is not something you’d expect to see in football dugouts usually filled with either suits or tracksuits and it clearly shook the Stevenage players who conceded two goals in the opening fifteen minutes.
It’s not often that you get League Two matches on Sky Sports and ol’ Paulie took full advantage of the increased viewing audience.
Some loved it.
That is Paul Tisdale's best outfit yet, what a fantastically dapper man. Need to get Roy kitted out like that in time for the Euros.

Paul Tisdale is taking this 'stylish manager' thing a bit too far.

Exeter deserve to lose this match for Paul Tisdale's hat alone.

Can't get over Paul Tisdale's attire, looks like he's about to go to a hipster's nirvana not managing a football match #hipster
