  1. A Football Graphic Tee with Your Signature Jeansโ€”Messages like โ€œSaturdays Are For Football,โ€ โ€œGame Dayโ€ and โ€œBut Firstโ€ฆFootballโ€ make sports-themed graphic tees an obvious choice if youโ€™re looking to settle into a supremely spirited style. Although there are many ways to wear a casual screen-printed t-shirt, the best way, of course, is with your favorite pair of comfy jeans. Youโ€™re going to be bopping from section to section and jumping up and down the entire day, so make sure youโ€™re rocking something on the comfy end.
  2. A Casual Dress with Statement Bootiesโ€”Who says tailgating has to be all tees and tennies? Not us! Of course, weโ€™re not suggesting that you show up in your finest night on the town ensembles, but your best casual dresses should definitely be considered contenders, especially if theyโ€™re done in team hues. Flowy cotton, fuzzy plaid and warm sweater materials are musts this time of year. Shoes-wise, you can go one of two waysโ€”either jazz things up with some cute statement booties or dial it down with a pair of crisp, white sneakers.
  3. A Wearable Blanket with Leggingsโ€”Not big on team spirit? Donโ€™t worry! A painted face and head-to-toe mascot logos are not required for entry (though they are highly encouraged). One great approach to non-team-focused game-day fashion is going all-out fall with a super-comfy plaid pullover or fleece shawl that wraps you up in warmth and comfort when youโ€™re cheering in the cooler weather. Flannel is basically a given here, but you can take this one in many different directions, depending on the vibes youโ€™re going for. To keep it preppy and collegiate, go big and add a monogram!

  1. A Distressed Team Tee with Denim Shortsโ€”Okay, this one is for those pre-season games and scrimmages where itโ€™s still warm enough to rock your favorite pair of cut-offs. Get ready for some rips, tears, slashes and gashes! Itโ€™s a classic approach to team spirit, and weโ€™re not complaining one bit. Stop by the team shop and pick up an official shirt orโ€”if youโ€™re on the budget of a college student like we areโ€”hit up the local thrift store and keep your eyes peeled for vintage options. Once you learn how to distress a tee, this will definitely be one of your go-to game-day looks for showing your big personality.
  2. An Oversized Sweater Dress in Team Colorsโ€”Comfortable, versatile and flattering to boot, sweater dresses will quickly emerge as some of the most valuable players of your tailgating wardrobe. Grab one that honors your schoolโ€™s colors for a subtle way to pay tribute to the guys on the field. We love the idea of jazzing things up with spirited accessories, tooโ€”perhaps a scarf with your teamโ€™s logo or maybe even a cute temp tat on your cheek?
  3. A Quilted Vest with Cropped Skinny Jeansโ€”We sure hope that the quilted vest stays trendy for as long as humanly possible! This supremely versatile and warm outerwear essential gives any ensemble a fall flair, which means you can sport it to basically any autumnal affair, from the stadium on game-day to the pumpkin patch pre-Friendsgiving. This is another one of those special items that gets an academic-inspired, preppy upgrade when monogrammed.

  1. High-Waisted Jeans and a Team Crop Topโ€”Whether youโ€™re for or against the ever-enduring crop top trend, itโ€™s hard to argue with the fact that it fits right in on game day, especially among college sports fanatics. And, though it seems like a summer-only option, the chic crop top actually transitions well into fall when you pair it with some high-waisted jeans and maybe even a slick bomber jacket. The key is to pick a crop featuring your teamโ€™s colors or logo.
  2. A Bedazzled Denim Jacket with a T-Shirt Dressโ€”Have you seen the insane creations pro bedazzlers can make on Etsy? No matter if itโ€™s custom text youโ€™ve come up with yourself or your favorite team logo, you can bring basically any graphic to life with some studs, rhinestones and other fun sew-on accessories. The best medium for this is the versatile denim jacket, which you can find basically everywhere for cheap, because it goes with everything you own. Pair it with a simple, solid-colored tee dress for a splashy look.

Designing the Perfect Game-Day Outfit

The ideal outfit for the big game checks multiple boxes at once. Itโ€™s simultaneously comfortable, stylish, warm and tailored to the occasion. Oh, and one more thingโ€”itโ€™s majorly creative! Remember that this genre of dressing is all about being clever, bold and spirited, so donโ€™t be afraid to break out all the rhinestones, monograms and iron-on letters. Anything you can do to show your love for the squad will help them earn a big win on game day this season.
