College football season is well underway and we collegiettes™ take pride in our game day fashion choices. You may not be an expert on the game itself, but you can certainly be an expert on cute football-friendly tailgating outfits. All it takes is a little creativity and a whole lot of school spirit. Here, college girls share their tips for tailgating in style and dressing for the weather. We’ve broken it up by category so you can select the perfect look for you.
If you’re a trendsetter…
Go wild and crazy—wear something outrageous, like a sparkly mini skirt, matching high tops and knee-high socks (in your school colors, of course!). Think outside the confines of your student section t-shirt; you’ve got way too much style to blend in to the crowd. Feel free to experiment with face paint and stickers because tailgating is probably the only acceptable occasion for this, unless it’s Halloween. Oh and you can’t forget about those fun neon hats or crop tops. Wear your bold and daring game day ensemble with confidence. “In Alabama, girls dress up for the games, some even wear heels!” says Jaime Ritter, a junior at the University of Alabama. High heels to a football game?! If this isn’t a fashion statement, I don’t know what is. If you do want to go the high heel route, I suggest platforms over stilettos so your heels don’t sink into the grass. Don’t be surprised when other collegiettes™ show up to next week’s game wearing a show-stopping outfit that resembles yours. Remember, you’re the trendsetter for a reason.
