Whether you’re a sports fan or find yourself at a game to spend time with family, friends, or an S.O., spending time in the stands is a true pastime. Not only can you enjoy fried foods and watch grown adults throw balls and tackle each other, but you also have the opportunity to show off a statement-making outfit while doing so. Whether you’re watching football, soccer, baseball, hockey, or some other sort of game, all you need for the perfect day is your ticket, some team spirit, and an exciting ensemble. At a loss for what to wear? Ahead, we’ve compiled a list of 12 game day outfits that just might land your style on the big screen, proving you can score big no matter your taste.
Who's Got Spirit?
Take note from real-life WAG Olivia Culpo (who recently married 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey) by opting for a comfortable game day outfit that puts team spirit front and center. Abercrombie has an extensive NFL collection with countless high-style takes on merch, and this sweatshirt feels just right for a football game. Throw on some form-fitting jeans and a bag in your team’s color to seal the deal.

A Graphic Moment
Regardless of the sport you’re attending, we think this graphic moment, as seen on Yara Shahidi, is a foolproof choice. This is particularly good if you’re going to a daytime game—the shorts allow for breathability without being too short, a.k.a. your legs won’t stick to the seats. Paired with a graphic tee and some cool shades, you’ll have an ensemble worth cheering for.

Here for the Fashion
While Sabrina Carpenter’s official merch (a.k.a. her incredible shirt) is technically sold out, we found a dupe on Etsy. This look happens to make for an incredible game day outfit—from the hat to the cutesy graphic tee, jewelry, and more, what’s not to love? Better yet, No Rivals (the hat brand linked below) has caps for many major universities across the states—so definitely check them out.

Monochromatic Chic
Not in the mood to wear jeans to a sporting event? Go for this stunning monochromatic look that instead builds a chic appearance based off of a denim skirt. Keep the top simple and finish it off with your favorite pair of black sunnies (especially if you’re going to a day game).

Denim on Denim
You can truly never go wrong with a denim-on-denim look, and Ashley Graham proves that less can be more. All you need is a lightweight denim jacket, some jeans (in a similar or slightly different shade), and a white tank. To spruce it up a bit for the game, we suggest throwing on a hat of the team you’re supporting.

Repurposed Jersey
SZA looks effortlessly cool in this jersey situation, and to recreate the look, you only need a few staples. Since most of us don’t have jerseys in our closets, we think a graphic tee in your team’s colors will do just fine. Next, pop on a statement belt with an oversized buckle and some fresh sneakers that you can walk around all day in.

Leopard Baby
The print of the season is undoubtedly leopard, so why not make it the focal piece of your game day outfit? This pair of leopard print pants can become a modern neutral alongside a black or white tee. If it’s a chilly game, pop on a varsity jacket or even a leather bomber. Add a belt, and you’re done.

Coolest Fan
We like to think that Ice Spice and Taylor Swift coordinated their matching black and silver outfits, and it’s proof that the color combo will make you feel ultra-cool while you hang out in the stands. Start out with a pair of black jeans, then pop on your black top of choice, a chunky necklace, silver rings, and a bag with silver hardware to complete the look.

Jersey Chic
Sporty meets chic in this fun ensemble that features a jersey top. Whether you opt for the one in the photo (which we’ve linked below) or your home team’s, try giving it an easy feminine touch with the addition of a mini skirt. Add gold jewelry and some sneakers or ballet flats for a trend-forward twist.

Color Blocking
Not sure how to keep your style front and center when it’s freezing during a game day? Simone Biles has the outfit formula down to a science. Choose a puffer in the color of your favorite team and get some cowboy boots to match. Throw on some fuzzy ear muffs (the sweetest way to be practical) and you’ll be ready to go.

Back to Basics
If you love the classic Americana look, go for this simple yet timeless style. The red bandana is absolutely the moment here (but feel free to grab one in your team’s color), and paired with a simple white tee and well-fitting jeans, you’ll be getting compliments left and right.

Mob WAG
A faux fur jacket might seem a bit dramatic, but mob wife style seems set to continue having major influence this fall. Embrace your inner Carrie Bradshaw the next time you go to a sporting event by pairing a star tank with an on-trend red handbag. Of course, the faux fur jacket ties it all together.
