What to Wear Tailgating | A Guide to Game Day Fashion October 3, 2018 | FINALLY HITTING PUBLISH ON THIS POST!!!! This “What To Wear Tailgating” post has been one of the most requested posts for years now and I have finally compiled everything that I wanted to include and am getting it out to you guys! A few weeks ago I asked for some feedback on college tailgating, dressing for it and which schools you rooted for and I was literally blown away with the response! We counted over 2,000 responses and (what felt like) nearly every college on the map represented…woah!!! Safe to say that you guys love college football as much as I do and you also like to dress the part! Like I’ve mentioned before, I went to LSU (Louisiana State University) where the football traditions are rich and tailgating is a sport in and of itself. In college, choosing our game day outfit was SO much fun and we loved getting dressed up in our school colors for a fun day of football. What I love most is that not much has changed, I still LOVE getting dressed up for game day and am counting down the days until I’m in Death Valley again cheering on my Tigers (I’ll be there in 10 days, and I’m SO ready)! I wanted this post to be a comprehensive guide full of inspirational looks for you to re-create and wear to cheer on your team. I broke down the top responses and took the dominant colors, which are all represented in this post. I also tried to choose pieces that came in LOTS of colors, so that not matter what color you’re looking for there’s bound to be something in this post that will work! Here’s how it’s broken down: -Top colors (with pieces styled by yours truly), then other items in that same color that are online and in stock -My favorite game day jewelry to wear -My favorite shoes for game day (comfy and cute, broken down by boots and then sneakers) -The best layers to wear on game day What to Wear Tailgating | Game Day Fashion: First up is this inexpensive sweater! It hangs slightly off of the shoulder and is great for all of my LSU girls (other colors available too)! I paired it with these wedge boots because I LOVE the look and these boots are comfy enough to wear all day!
