Game day isn’t just about cheering for your favorite team — it’s also a chance to show off your game day style. Whether you’re cheering on a loved one in a local game, repping your favorite team or headed to the Super Bowl, the best game day outfits are the ones that balance comfort, personality and bring that team spirit.
If you’re not sure what to wear to a sports game, we’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’re sharing 14 of our favorite game day outfit ideas for every kind of event. Let’s kick things off!
1. Black Dress with Ankle Boots
Chic, bold and effortlessly cool, a black dress paired with ankle boots is the perfect choice when you want to bring a little sophistication to your look. Whether you’re rocking classic leather, unique textiles or bold metallics, this combo will keep you ready for anything, from tailgate parties, crowded stadiums or casual watch parties at home.
2. Team Jersey with Retro Sneakers
You can’t go wrong with a team jersey paired with retro sneakers. Bonus points if your jersey, hoodie or tee is oversized to bring that laid-back, trendy-girl vibe. Retro sneakers add a vintage touch that also feels modern and fun, which makes this outfit perfect for anything from afternoon BBQs to watching the game at your favorite sports bar.
3. Varsity Sweater with Loafers
Headed to a college game? For a chic yet casual game day outfit, a varsity sweater in your team’s colors is a great way to show school spirit without going full fan gear. Pair it with loafers, tailored jeans or leggings and throw on minimal jewelry to complete the look. This is a go-to outfit that will take you from season to season!
4. Matching Set with Fringe Booties
We love a matching set for any occasion, but it brings a little extra style to sporting events. A matching set is a great way to elevate your game day look, but fringe booties will tone it down for a more laid-back feeling. Go big with a statement belt or keep it simple with a minimalist necklace to add a little flair. If it’s chilly, throw on a chunky cardigan or a cozy beanie for extra warmth.
5. Crop Top with Platform Sneakers
If you want that classic cool girl look, pair your favorite crop top and platform sneakers. High-waisted jeans or joggers work perfectly to balance the look, with a lightweight jacket if it’s cooler outside. Platform sneakers give you a boost and add a trendy touch that’s perfect for any game. Finish it off with a mini backpack or a crossbody bag to keep things practical yet stylish.
6. Ribbed Knit Pullover with Mules
Sometimes, simple wins the day and a ribbed knit pullover is the ultimate proof. It’s cozy without feeling bulky, perfect for watching the game with friends or grabbing dinner afterwards. Throw it on with distressed jeans to keep it casual or pair with cropped trousers for a more professional-chic look. Mules bring that no-fuss ease that still looks intentional. Toss in a minimalist gold bracelet or studs for versatile accessorizing.
7. Team Color Dress with Matching Alpargatas
Let your team’s colors do the talking with gameday dresses. Any kind of dress in your team’s colors paired with matching alpargatas brings low-key team spirit while still repping your team. The breathable design of alpargatas allows for all-day comfort and style. Layer with a denim jacket or cardigan, and add some simple gold hoops or a stack of bracelets. It’s cute, comfy and game day ready.
8. Oversized Hoodie with Chunky Boots
This one’s for the fans who like to keep it cool and casual. An oversized hoodie is perfect for those chilly night games — perfect for lounging at home or stepping out to brave the weather. Match it with leggings or ripped jeans, topping it off with stylish lug boots to give the look a little edge. Add a baseball cap or beanie to finish it off. Extra points if the hoodie has your team logo or colors!
9. Button-Up Shirt with Wedge Espadrilles
Game day, but make it preppy. A crisp button-up shirt sets an elegant tone, especially if you style it with a french tuck into high-waisted jeans or tailored shorts. Go for wedge espadrilles to add a bit of height without sacrificing comfort at an all-day tailgate. Finish with a leather tote and oversized sunglasses to stay prepared for whatever the day brings.
10. Puffer Jacket with Chelsea Boots
Cold weather doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style! A puffer jacket is a practical game day staple that’ll take you from afternoon kickoff to nighttime victories. Pair with straight-leg jeans, a long-sleeved top, and Chelsea boots to keep your feet warm and add balance to the puffiness of the jacket. Throw on a beanie or scarf in your team’s colors for a classic game day outfit!
11. Plaid Button-Up with Hi-Top Sneakers
Plaid flannel button-ups are great for any kind of sports event, but you don’t have to keep it casual. Elevate the outfit by layering over a fitted tank or crop top, leaving it open or tying at the waist. Pair with distressed jeans or leather pants for a little extra contrast. Hi-top sneakers bring an old-school vibe that’s super comfy for walking or standing all day.
12. Maxi Skirt with Strappy Sandals
If you’re looking for a softer, boho-inspired game day look, a maxi skirt brings flowy romance to game day looks. Combine it with a fitted team tee or a cropped sweater to keep it balanced, and grab a pair of strappy sandals if the weather allows. If it’s chilly, throw on a denim jacket or a chunky knit cardigan for a chic yet cozy style.
13. Bomber Jacket with Heeled Booties
Need a cold-weather game day outfit with a little edge? Pair an olive or black bomber jacket with skinny jeans, joggers or a casual dress. Heeled booties are the perfect matching shoe, with just enough height and all-day comfort. To pull it all together, add a pair of aviators or a lightweight scarf to tie it all together.
