Game Day Gear: 3 Tips for Chic Football Fashion

It’s officially football season! Whether you’re watching college or pro, tailgating or crowded around the TV at home, this post will help you find the perfect look.

Even if you’re not a sports fan, football season is a great excuse to experiment with color and show off your favorite winter ensembles. These tips will help you dress for game day with comfort, style, and confidence.

Comfort Meets Chic

Whether you’re spending game day on the couch or in the stands, comfort is key–but that doesn’t mean compromising on style. Elevate your outfit by turning an oversized jersey into a dress and pairing it with boots or a chic belt.

Show support for your favorite team by matching your outfit to their colors, or go for a classic red, white, and blue look like I have here. A simple pair of joggers can still look elegant when you style it with a form-fitting top.

Add Layers

Lastly, don’t forget to dress for the weather! No matter what part of the country you live in, the weather can be unpredictable at this time of year. Top your outfit off with a fashionable coat or blanket scarf to stay warm during chilly winter games. If you live in a sunnier climate like I do, pack a pair of sunglasses.

Boots or Sneakers?

Chances are, you’re either going to spend game day on your feet or crowded around the TV, which means there’s no need for stilettos. Give your feet a day off by opting for boots or sneakers.

I love these red snakeskin boots from Alexander Wang – they scream cool, confident, and modern, while still keeping your legs warm if you’re at an outdoor game.

Whatever footwear you choose, make sure it’s comfortable because you’ll likely be on your feet all day!

The Perfect-Sized Bag

A great bag can make or break your outfit. For game day, you need something large enough to store your phone and essentials but small enough that it won’t be a pain to carry around. This white cross-body purse is the perfect compromise.

Watching a game live? Check the stadium’s website for bag requirements to make sure your purse isn’t too large–and when in doubt, go smaller.

If you’re going for a more neutral look, use your accessories to play with bold pops of color and stand out from the crowd. Try this red Tory Burch belt paired with a blue velvet handbag. Finish the look with a stylish hat to keep you warm during the colder months.

There are so many fun trends to explore this football season. Keep it classic and polished, but don’t be afraid to have fun with your accessories. A great pair of boots or a bold purse is the perfect complement to your game day attire.
