It’s 80 degrees here in Washington, D.C. Summer is finally in sight! This heat and humidity has me brimming with anticipation for hot dogs, cornhole tournaments, and drinking Bud Light Lime at a Washington Nationals game.
If you’re attending any type of outdoor sporting event in the coming months — baseball, tennis, even NASCAR (I’m going to a race this weekend, gah, wish me luck!) — I want to remind you that it’s possible to look both chic AND sporty, while also staying cool. So get ready to embrace your inner Sporty Spice!
I fully support wearing a tee or baseball hat that features your team’s logo or colors. It’s a sporting event after all, not a fashion show! But let’s ditch those oversized t-shirts in favor of something tailored, topped off with a few key girly accessories. Victoria’s Secret makes a whole collection of cute gear for MLB teams. Pair a tee or tank top with shorts or capris, instead of a skirt. You’ll be much more comfy in shorts while making the hike up to the cheap/thrifty seats!
Where to Shop: Washington Nationals Metallic V-neck Tee ($29.50 from Victoria’s Secret’s MLB line); F3959 Sunglasses ($5.80 from Forever 21); Bueno Straw Bag ($34.99 from Target); Colorful Bangle Set ($6.80 from Forever 21); 5″ Chino Short ($42.50 from JCrew).
Above (all from Victoria’s Secret): Chicago Cubs V-neck Tee ($32.50); Boston Red Sox Bling Baseball Hat ($24.50); Philadelphia Phillies V-neck Tee ($26.50).

i just got hungry for a hot dog reading this post! do you have any tips on how to avoid getting mustard all over my chic sporty outfits? i know i’ll have fashionable coordination going on but the physical coordination is more of an issue here…haha!! great post SMT!
Jane, I have seen you play softball and you are full of coordination, you silly lady! BUT while we’re on the subject, have you tried Shout Wipes yet? Pretty handy product!!
P.S. I’m more of a ketchup gal myself :)
Okay, I’m in heaven in France, but a Nats game sounds pretty awesome right about now! And I need a new jersey t shirt since Niger Morgan imploded! Who knew Victoria secret would come to the rescue? I’ll have a b-lime or 6 please!
