Three Tailgating Outfit Ideas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

With BC football season in full swing you may still be worrying about what you’ll wear to the next home game, which in case you aren’t aware is September 13 against USC. If you are then fear no more because Her Campus BC has got you covered. Here are three totally terrific tailgate outfits that with ignite the heights with style and school spirit.

Classic Super Fan

If one thing is a staple for many here at Boston College, it’s the LuLu Lemon legging. Second to that are Sperry’s boat shoes. This look combines both with a Super Fan shirt for the perfect game day outfit. A BC scarf is perfect to add if the weather is a little chilly or if you’re just looking to amp up the school spirit a notch. Finish off with a BC sticker or tattoo and you’re ready for kickoff.

Sun’s out, School Spirit’s Out

If it’s a hot day, you don’t want to be stuck on Shea Field sweating to death in leggings or pants. Opt for a pair of shorts and a cute BC themed tank. Shoes like Keds are a great idea because they are simple, functional, and come in a bunch of different colors if you’re looking for something to match your outfit. A maroon and gold bow like these one from Etsy can be a fun addition to any game day outfit. Finish off the look with rally beads and a pom-pom and the go-to BC tattoo or sticker.

Fall Football Fashion

As fall approaches, a t-shirt probably won’t cut it in this New England weather. A great way to transition into fall on the heights is with a cute pair of riding boots. For a tailgate, try a long sleeve shirt in BC colors layered with a puffy vest. It’ll keep you warm as the temperature falls. Top off the look with a BC baseball cap and some Alex and Ani BC bracelets and you’re ready to go.

Most of the items featured in this article can be found at either the McElroy or Hillside bookstores but you don’t need to spend money to show school spirit. Slap on some maroon and gold, brush up on your For Boston lyrics, and get ready to cheer on your team! Wishing everyone a fun and safe football season. GO EAGLES!
