Rowdy in Dowdy: Tailgate Fall Fashion

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

ECU football season is in full swing, which puts us Pirate girls into a major dilemma: WHAT TO WEAR. Whether it’s 100 degrees, raining, a gold out, purple out, or black out, don’t worry- HerCampus has you covered with the latest styles and trends!

 In Greenville, everyone knows what ECU actually stands for: Everyone Carries Umbrellas.  So what does one wear when it’s 100 degrees out and muddy from the rainy days before the game? Easy! Grab your favorite yellow, purple, or black strapped tank top or dress and pair it with some Hunter rain boots to save the day.  Whether you want to show off your pirate pride with purple boots, or go with the traditional gray and black, this casual game day attire will save you from the heat and the heaping piles of mud you’ll walk through from tailgate to tailgate.  Add in a choker, double wrap-beaded necklace, and your sororities’ game day pin to complete the look even more!

You could also swing in to the annual blackout game wearing the classiest black dresses! You can never go wrong with a black dress, a pair of cowboy boots, and a yellow statement necklace.  When in doubt, black is your best friend (especially if you’re one of those pirates who get too rowdy in Dowdy and slip and fall in the mud). 

When all of your other new and trendy outfit ideas have been worn out, go with the traditional jersey! Basic? Yes, but who cares when this is the most comfortable outfit in the game.  And who says you can’t spice it up?  Pair your jersey with some Ray Bans, cowboy boots and a black double wrap beaded necklace and you’re all set! Just head over to UBE to get your XL ECU jersey before the next game so you’re never stuck with nothing to wear! (But just like ECU did, leave the Wolfpack behind)
