Football Fan

If this weekend is known for more than turkey, giving thanks, and shopping, it’s gotta be football. It seems like watching the games whilst in a food coma with your family has become as essential as stuffing and mashed potatoes. And if football isn’t your thing, there’s a whole lot of college basketball tournaments this weekend, too. (I’m currently in the Bahamas for the week and all of the Battle 4 Atlantis college basketball teams are staying at the same resort!)

Since I talk about sports and going to sporting events more than the average fashion blogger, I get quite a few questions about what to wear to games and what to wear when you’re out watching games. It’s always a fine line between looking like a fan and looking like you’re trying too hard, you know? For me, it’s all about finding clothes that aren’t necessarily branded with my team’s name, but going along with the color scheme. I always feel put-together at games by simply wearing a color-coordinated outfit that would look cute in or out of the stadium.

I’ve been on the hunt for cute orange & blue clothing for as long as I can remember. And if I do say so myself, I got pretty lucky with my high school, college, and Chicago football teams all being orange and navy blue. I saw this sweater while shopping on Armitage and thought it was such a fun take on a typical jersey. No matter if you’re watching the game at your place, a friend’s place, or even out at a bar, this outfit is perfectly acceptable for cheering on your team!

    Obsessed with this look. Like you, I’m a sports fanatic – I usually wear my oversized jerseys to games, but love adding a blanket scarf to make it a little more fashionable 😉
