Game Day Fashion

Some of The Fashion Plate’s favorite Carolina home team attire!

If you are anything like me, game day gets you excited! Women everywhere try to decide what they are going to wear to the big game. Even those that aren’t headed to the stadium are formulating their attire to watch their team on TV at a favorite sports-viewing hot spot. Some fans seem to think anything goes when it comes to game day attire, but that simply isn’t true. With five weeks left of college football, let’s huddle up and listen!

There are a few guidelines (Not rules but guidelines. Y’all know The Fashion Plate isn’t a big fan of fashion Rules!) to follow:

  • Check The Weather

Lack of preparation can make or break your game day fun. Sitting in the rain without rain gear is nothing less than miserable. Much like wearing jeans and long sleeves is not fun in ninety-degree temperatures. With modern technology making this task a breeze, you have no excuses. There’s a weather app for that!

  • Keep It Comfy

Even if your preference is to dress up for the game, it’s still possible to be comfortable. One of my favorite tricks is to wear flats until you get to where you need to be, whether it’s your favorite tailgate or the actual game. Once you arrive, put those heels or cowboy boots on! Trust me; there is nothing worse than aching feet! Also, forget the jeans or shorts that don’t fit properly. Football games typically last around three hours which is a very long time to be uncomfortable.

  • Rock Your Team Colors

This is a must and non-negotiable! Nothing shows your team spirit quite like sporting team colors. And how lucky are the Tar Heels to rock beautiful Carolina blue! It doesn’t have to be a team t-shirt if that’s not your style, but most team colors are easy to find. Especially in a college town like Chapel Hill!

  • Take The Right Purse

You don’t need much at a football game except maybe cash, credit card, ID, your phone, some mints and lip gloss. A large bag will be in the way and you risk getting it soaked with something. If you do opt to take a handbag, make it a small crossbody you can wear the entire game. Also don’t forget that most stadiums require a “bag check” slowing down your entrance into the stadium.

  • Get Creative

Wear your team spirit in unusual ways such as on your mani or pedi. I’ve seen some really fun and creative ones out there. Also, team spirit accessories are a great way to show your support. You can find almost anything you want like boots, jewelry, scarves, hats and socks just to name a few. If a team logo can be stamped on it, it will appear somewhere!

Now, put your game outfit on and get out there!
