Best clothing to wear to a tailgate party
When it comes to picking out the best clothing to wear at your next tailgate party, these are the basics:
- Keep it comfy: You’re standing around in a parking lot for hours, so your outfit needs to be up to the challenge and allow you to be comfortable throughout the day.
- Check the weather: Since you’re going to be outside, we recommend checking the temp ahead of time and making sure you are layered enough to stay warm.
- Rep your team: You know what to do.
With the above in mind, here are some options to make sure you’re the best dressed at your upcoming tailgate, especially if it’s going to be a bit chillier where you’re at:
- Shoes: Remember that first rule of keeping it comfy (again, lots and lots of standing), so tennis shoes or sneakers are where it’s at, unless it’s snowing, in which case you might opt for some waterproof boots.
- Socks: Shop for practicality or fun. Either way, Dick’s Sporting Goods has tons of great options that’ll look great on you.
- Pants: Jeans or sweatpants will get the job done just fine, and you’ll have plenty of affordable choices at Walmart.
- Top: You probably don’t need any guidance here – a t-shirt or jersey repping your favorite team (don’t forget a long-sleeve undershirt just in case) and/or a warm pullover hoodie sporting their logo is definitely the way to go. Any of the Fetch Shop retailers listed above can get you set up with what you need!
- Hat: Why miss out on your opportunity to rep your team from head to toe? Top things off with a snapback hat or beanie to complete the look.
