With the snow beginning to fall and the temperatures dipping below 40 degrees, it’s officially winter weather in Evanston. As a Floridian, I realized I had to adjust my wardrobe for the weather, especially for tailgate season. After experiencing a few cold games so far, I have learned it is definitely possible to stay trendy and warm at the time.
Here’s my guide to win winter tailgates, even if the Wildcats are losing.
