With the NFL season in full swing, it’s an exciting time where sports and fashion come together. Thanks to stars like Taylor Swift, who has been supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, dressing for a football game has become a lot more stylish. Another influential figure in this fashion-sports blend is Kristin Jucszczyk, known for her reworked clothing that’s popular among athletes, celebrities, and fans alike (plus, she’s married to Kyle Jusczyk from the San Francisco 49ers). With such high expectations from these stylish WAGs, figuring out what to wear to a game can be daunting, especially for first-timers. To help you out, here are ten outfit ideas and a few fashion missteps to steer clear of.
- Rock a Varsity Jacket
If you have one, flaunt it! A varsity jacket is a fantastic way to show your team spirit. Personalize it with patches and pins collected from stadium visits. Pair it with a graphic tee, zip-up hoodie, and wide-leg jeans for a comfortable yet stylish look.
- Match Your Shorts and Jacket in Team Colors
If the weather calls for it, a matching set of shorts and a jacket in your team’s colors is perfect. Opt for sporty jogger shorts to stay cool and comfy, and the jacket adds a stylish touch. It’s even better if you can incorporate actual team merchandise.
- Borrow Your Boyfriend’s Sweatshirt
An oversized sweatshirt paired with knee-high boots gives off major Ariana Grande vibes. When styling, bigger is definitely better—consider wearing the hoodie as a dress or over shorts. Balance the proportions with stylish knee-high boots or opt for comfortable lug-sole or moto boots.
- Keep It Classic with an NFL Jersey, Denim, and Leather
Yes, many will wear the same jersey, but that’s what makes it a classic. Elevate your look by pairing it with dark-wash jeans and a sleek leather jacket. Stick to straight-leg jeans and a cropped jacket for a tailored fit that complements your frame.
- Try a Sporty Tracksuit
You don’t need to wear a logo-emblazoned top to show your support. A sporty tracksuit can be a stylish alternative. Pair it with UGG boots for added comfort throughout the game.
- Dress Up and Down with Knit Dresses and Dad Shoes
For a date or to elevate your game-day look, consider a chic knit dress. This cozy option is perfect for cheering from the stands and pairs well with comfortable dad sneakers for added support as you move around.
- Go Bold with a Boho Skirt
Your football attire doesn’t have to be traditional. Pair a classic jersey with an ultra-feminine peasant skirt for a striking look. Complete it with accessories that reflect your style—Adidas sneakers tie the outfit back to the jersey, while bangles add flair.
- Accessorize in Team Colors
With football season lasting into winter, a long coat is essential for those late games. To keep your outfit visible, use vibrant accessories like colorful handbags, shoes, or jewelry to showcase your team spirit while staying warm.
- Layer with a Flannel
As temperatures drop, consider a flannel shirt. This versatile piece combines warmth and style, making it perfect for layering. Wear it over a turtleneck or sweater, or layer under a puffer jacket for extra warmth.
- Combine Athleisure with Cowboy Style
Cowboy boots are a lasting trend. For your next game, swap out your usual sneakers for trendy cowboy boots, and pair them with comfortable athleisure items like leggings and a sweatshirt in your team’s colors. This combination keeps your look polished and stylish at the stadium.
