However natty a man may look in a printed shirt, Noel Fielding they are not. That's right, The Great British Bake Off is back and with it, an array of Noel Fielding's shirts, vaguely ironic, whimsical jumpers and a collection of truly excellent ankle boots.
Join us as we take a journey down memory lane, at the best of Noel's past Bake Off wardrobe. As well as this, we've got a guide to the newest of Noel Fielding's shirts in the 2024 series with Alison Hammond, and exactly where you can purchase them.
In order to satiate our voracious appetites for more of these jaunty outfits, we can look to the current series of Bake Off. We can see, in real-time, Noel Fielding's shirts graduate from nutty high street options to truly astonishing designer numbers, cementing him as the one true style icon of all time.
In previous years, we've seen a Westwood creation, a Dries Van Noten number, which happily gave Noel a dinner party guest from the '70s vibe about him, and plenty of WAH WAH options, too. Most of Noel Fielding's shirts and jumpers sell out within minutes during the Bake Off run - a tribute to his keen eye for an irresistible design.

Noel Fielding's Shirts - An Evolution Through Time
In the first episode of the 2022 series, Noel's MCQ Black 'Positive Earth' Sweater set the tone for the series ahead, so it seemed our great sartorial expectations for N-Fields, as absolutely nobody is calling him, were already being exceeded.
To give credit to his recently departed host Matt Lucas, he fought for Fielding's crown for kooky fashion. In his initial promo shot, there was a navy printed shirt that was just on the right side of 'fun' – but that was merely a warm-up act for his first episode, during which Lucas debuted a red shirt with enormous pink polka dots. He will be sorely missed, but we are ever-so-excited to see what Alison Hammond brings to the table, outfit-wise.
We can also enjoy reminiscing about some of the knitwear Fielding has chosen for past seasons. There was a Raf Simons smiley jumper, for example, which proved that Noel is a secret hype beast, while Japanese Week saw him choose from a collaboration between Wah-Wah Australia x Laura Callaghan.
A particular highlight was the time that Fielding sent the entire country into panic, lest they all be affected by a crippling migraine induced by the jazzy shirt he had chosen for Dairy Week. Many concerned tweets were published as people became disoriented and confused. 'Can't watch Bake Off due to the nightmare that is Noel Fielding's headache-inducing shirt. I will not hear a bad word said about the man, it is what it is,' wrote one fan.
Speaking of feeling disoriented, at first, I was taken aback by the choice of Valentino for episode one of one of the previous series. But then, thinking about it, Sandi Toksvig's hair looked even more coiffured than usual, suggesting that the wardrobe, hair and make-up teams decided to put all that Channel 4 money to good use.
What Are Noel Fielding's Favourite Brands To Wear, You Ask?
A personal favourite of Noel Fielding's shirts, the brand Lazy Oaf appeared frequently, and I'm not mad about it. My favourite of the Lazy Oaf appearances is probably the shirt that resembled a brick wall, for no clear reason at all.
I also fully enjoyed his choice of a yellow Bella Freud jumper. Oh, and the time he wore a pink ice-cream print shirt also owned by vlogging sensation Zoella. You really can't make this stuff up!
There was also the vintage Kenzo tomato print shirt and the ocean print Paul Smith number which, while relatively conservative by Noel's own standards, is the level of 'out-there' that would raise eyebrows in a Midlands pub.
Really, the achievement here lies not in Fielding's choice of shirts, but rather his ability to wear the most ridiculous prints like he's wearing an old T-shirt. He is – to paraphrase Tyra Banks in every episode of America's Next Top Model ever made – wearing the shirt, rather than letting it wear him. I BET he has a cerulean jumper and fully understands its import.
Whatever happens in this series – however many clammy hands are gripped for just that moment too long by Paul Hollywood; however many innuendos reveal the production team to possess the same sensibility as a Carry-On film, however many contestants promise that they really won't cry as tears stream from their eyes – at least we'll always have Noel's shirts.
