From fashion to food, tailgating is an absolute art. When you show up at McGuirk Stadium around 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning, make sure you’re game-day ready. At Homecoming last weekend, some Minutemen stood out from the crowd as they showed their school pride prepped with only the best UMass gear.
We found some of the best-dressed tailgaters from last Saturday’s shenanigans for your inspiration — maybe you’ll catch a look that you’re currently loving or one that you’ll start trying out. Remember, you’re a collegiette, which means you’re a trendsetter by nature.
