Gameday rivals and teams may vary across the country, but one thing that is consistent across the country is that it’s so much fun dressing up to rep your home team! Whether you’re in the North or the South, on the East Coast or the West, tailgating or standing on the sidelines, we’ve curated 7 gameday essentials for every football fan’s wardrobe.

The first wardrobe staple is a jersey for your team, we’ve been loving the over-sized look this fall paired with jean shorts and either boots or sneakers! We think nothing screams “go team!” like wearing your favorite player’s number! This no-fuss staple is a go-to when running late for a game but still wanting to look put together!

The next outfit essential is a no-brainer, a college T-shirt! These can be dressed up by cropping it and adding some jewelry and a cute skirt or dressed down for away games with jeans and some sneakers. Make this classic even better by twinning with your besties! Nothing makes for cuter pics than you and your friends showing off your school spirit.

One cute gameday go-to that every college girl needs to invest in is a romper in your school’s colors! Yet again an easy outfit to throw together that looks super cute both at the tailgate and on your Insta! Pair it with some cowboy boots in the south or some sandals and a jacket in the north for effortless style all season long.

Our personal favorite recommendation is a denim jacket! These are timeless classics that will never go out of style so feel free to invest in one. If you want to really show off the love you have for your team consider DIY-ing a cute design - either your school’s name or mascot will definitely make your outfit the talk of the tailgate! It can also be super fun to get together and have a paint party with all of your friends and watch some movies while prepping for game day!

Our next must-have is an easy way to spice up any look! Gameday buttons are all the rage and a super cute inexpensive way to show your team spirit! You can either make your own or see if your campus bookstore or local boutiques have any! There are also lots of custom vendors on Etsy who specialize in button making if you want a sleek button with your own design!

The best way to upgrade your oversized jersey or college tee is to pair it with a fun and flirty skirt! We’ve been loving all the gingham we’ve seen this past football season, the classic black and white pattern pairs well with almost any school color and never goes out of style! Another classic option is a denim skirt, simple but easy to do a fun denim-on-denim look with your customized denim jacket. You can even opt to go more flirty with a cheer skirt in your school’s colors.

Our final recommendation is a real must-have for anyone who’s stadium has implemented the clear bag policy. A cute clear stadium bag that comfortably holds all that you need to have a great tailgate and game. You’re gonna want to bring a portable charger, some sunglasses, your wallet for stadium snacks, your student id, and more; and what better way to not only both easily find everything, but also breeze through those long stadium security lines than having everything clearly visible but also stored away.
