What to Wear to a Superbowl Party

I’m told the Superbowl is happening this Sunday. Alright! As a former cheerleader, I’ve always maintained that I truly enjoy a good sporting event. That said, as you might imagine, the true highlight of the Superbowl for me is the commercials. And the beer. And the baked potato dip. And the parties. And the causal dress code!

Okay, so I clearly can’t talk strategy about the upcoming game — but I can help you strategize on the what to wear to a Superbowl party. Here are three casual and cute outfit ideas. The key is be comfy for your all-day snackathon. If you’re feeling festive, go ahead and rock your team’s colors. Note: if you are a die-hard Giants or Patriots fan, I suppose a fitted tee with your team’s name on it is okay. Just do me a favor and accessorize!

Game Day Fashion

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).
