As someone who hasn’t attended a sporting event in years, I definitely needed a refresher on what to wear to a football game. The key to nailing the perfect game-day outfit starts with comfort—because, let’s face it, no one wants to be cheering from the bleachers in sky-high heels or anything too dressy (unless you’re lucky enough to sit in a box). You’ll also want something warm, too; you’ll be outside, after all, and you don’t want to miss the final touchdown because you’re too cold to stick around.

I might not be attending the Super Bowl, but I still want to channel my inner Taylor Swift at the next game by wearing something that’s effortless and cool. One thing that never fails: No matter what game you’re attending, is rocking the team’s colors, even if you don’t own a jersey. With that in mind, whether you’re a die-hard fan ready to rock your team’s baseball cap or you prefer a more low-key (but still stylish) approach, this list has options for everyone to feel comfortable and look great, no matter the score. Shop them all, below.

Obviously, one cannot think of a cool football outfit idea without taking a page from Taylor Swift’s game-day ensembles. Show your spirit by rocking a team sweatshirt like the pop star or, if you don’t have a stitch of the official merch, an outfit that references your team’s colors. After that, you can opt for all-black accessories to add polish for a look that lets everyone know what team you’re rooting for every time—no logos required.

Love cherry red? Me too. You’ll be able to cheer your team on for hours in a pair of classic Sambas (and especially so if it’s one of their colors). Plus, the touch of red is the perfect accent for a navy bomber jacket.

HRH can do no wrong in my eyes, especially when it comes to leveling up any look with a camel coat. If you were still waiting to invest in one, take this as your sign that now is the time; you won’t regret it when you’re snugly bundled in the bleachers.

What better way to accessorize for watching two teams duke it out on the gridiron than donning an undoubtedly sporty baseball cap? It’s one of the best ways to wear your team’s logo. And, if you’re heading to dinner after the game, try a crisp button-up shirt to go along with wool trousers so you feel comfortable and look appropriate for any restaurant. Just don’t forget to take the hat off at the table.

Dust off your jersey-inspired top and pair it with a navy skort for a look that feels just as cool at brunch as it does at the game. And in a faux fur teddy, you’ll stay toasty even if the game runs into overtime.

A Color Coordinating Vest and Hat

When in doubt, getting matchy-matchy always works. For game days when it’s not quite cold enough to wear a full coat, a vest is a great alternative that still feels stylish. Pair it with a coordinating hat in the same color for a foolproof ensemble.
