FOOTBALL OUTFIT IDEA ONE: CASUAL CHIC!

While I love showing my team spirit by sporting my team’s colors and for my game day outfit, I also try to avoid pieces that just have the team’s logo.

I love team neutral pieces that can take you from Saturday college game days, to intense NFL Sundays with ease.

Each of these pieces are GREAT for that purpose!

This game day sweater is a must, especially when paired with these chic cuffed denim jeans.

Add some fashion white tennis shoes and a great pair of sunglasses for an incredible, classic look.

And how great is this “football era” hat! I can’t get enough of it!

FOOTBALL OUTFIT IDEA TWO: LET’S GO TIGERS!

Okay, so sometimes you do have to embrace your team’s mascot, especially when you are cheering on your favorite college team.

We are tiger fans, since we went to the University of Missouri. But when I head over to Columbia for game day, I will never be wearing just a logo tee and shorts or jeans.

Absolutely not. Not happening. Never.

That’s why I am always on the lookout for cute tops, dresses and tees that imply I support the tigers, without loudly proclaiming I support the tigers in big, bold letters.

Ick.

Sometimes it’s all about being subtle. IYKYK … LOL! Here are some examples:

This black button-up, belted dress with its tiger motif is just ADORABLE. Just stinkin’ cute!!!

And I love the short sleeved tiger sweater.

The teal Tiger sleeved sweater is also a great choice. You can pair it with faux leather pants for an incredibly chic, game-day look.

And this gold tee, with its silk screened tiger and crisp white trim is just giving all of the preppy collegiate vibes that are so popular this season.

Not a tiger? You can always choose game-day outfits that combine your school colors. For instance, a black dress with a cute scarf or denim shorts and a stylish top are great game day staples. 

FOOTBALL OUTFIT IDEA THREE: LET’S GO CHIEFS!

If you’re cheering on Travis like Taylor is sure to do again this season, you’ll want to be ready.

These pieces are great for a suite at Arrowhead Stadium or to pack for a weekend road game. Because aren’t we all in our football era at this time of the year?

For a night game or cooler weather, you’ll want a cozy layer. An oversized sweater or sweatshirt is a great way to help you be prepared for the weather conditions. And this Football Era sweatshirt is the perfect layering piece.

For a little bling, I love this Lele Sadoughi headband. She has a variety of headbands specific to every NFL team, so you’re sure to find a great accessory for whatever team you support. I also love this ribbon scrunchie.

And again, this football era hat is just perfect! I just love this baseball cap. It’s great to pair with white sneakers. 

FOOTBALL OUTFIT IDEA FOUR: LET’S GO TEAM!

Regarless of who you’re cheering for, you want to be the best dress on the field. These pieces may be team neutral, but they’re sure to make everyone a cuteness winner.

I love all of the pre-chic vibes they bring with them to the stadium. You’re sure to score with these looks!

This short sleeve game day sweater is ideal for warmer weather. This great option is the perfect football game outfit for high school football games as well. 

You’re sure to get lots of compliments with this touchdown tee. Layer it under a cute jacket for chilly night games.

How about this football headband? So cute!

I love this classic, game day sweatshirt. Throw it over your shoulders during the first half and put it on during half time.

A clear handbag is a must to pair with your perfect game-day outfit, since most stadiums have a clear bag policy. This chained, cross body bag is perfect!

“Tailgate, Touchdown, Repeat” … are there any better words to live by on football Saturdays or Sundays? The answer is no. So you definitely need this adorable sweatshirt!
