What to Wear to a Football Game: 
3 Easy Game-Day Outfits

With a myriad of sporting events, football games, tailgates, and more coming up on your fall calendar, a game-day-ready edit of comfortable, stylish, put-together outfits is a must.

What to Wear to a Daytime Game

Daytime games and tailgate parties can mean fluctuating temperatures, depending on where your seats and venues are located—in direct sunlight or in the shade. We like to start with a neutral base of our Brennan Everyday Barrel Jean in California Vintage Denim and our Ella Long-Sleeve Boatneck Tee.  
Next, add light layers, like our Eileen Button-Up in Italian Corduroy and our Jackie Sweatshirt Cardigan made from 100% cotton Triple Terry –– it's the perfect third piece. Worried about a potential chill? Bring along your Belfast Quilted Jacket, crafted from brushed Italian Peached Twill that’s both polished and comfortable.

STYLING TIP: Tie your Jackie Cardigan around your waist for a laid-back look that’s ready for an extra layer when temperatures drop.

What to Wear to a Day-to-Night Game

For those days when you’re on the field or in the high school bleachers all day, lean into comfortable, breathable fabrics and easy layers to tackle changing weather throughout the day. Start with our Jackie T-Shirt Cardigan in Vintage Jersey and Brennan Jean in Italian Corduroy, adding our Eileen Button-Up in Famous Denim as a lightweight layer on top.

STYLING TIP: For a collegiate look, mix in your favorite fall textures, patterns, and colors, like a dark green Cotswold Cardigan or our Bantry Barn Jacket with its contrast corduroy collar. Psst, don’t forget your clear, stadium-approved bag and comfortable shoes, and you’re ready to go.

What to Wear to a Nighttime Game

Evening football games in colder climates call for cozier, layered fall fabrics. Try one of our plaid Eileen Italian Flannel Button-Ups in your favorite team colors. For extra warmth, the Montecito Turtleneck is the perfect layer to protect you from the wind chill without weighing you down. To keep you warm, add the Eileen Quilted Jacket as a statement third piece.
