Sport a Statement Dress

You heard it here first, dresses for game day are totally in. This is the perfect chance to dress up while having fun! Add some of your school colors into the mix to make it even more personal. I recommend looking for dresses on sites such as Princess Polly, Lulu’s or shop local!

Rock Some Cow Print

If your school colors incorporate black and white, then try looking for some cow print inspo! The cow print trend is so in right now. Black and white goes with pretty much anything, so customize this look to how you see fit! You’ll be making a fashion statement on game day.

Add a Plaid Skirt

The era of plaid skirts has not come to a close just yet. Skirts are easy and comfortable to strut around your campus. Try dressing this look up with your favorite game day shirt.

Top it Off with a Bucket Hat 

Everyone needs their favorite signature bucket hat, especially for game day. This staple look can be paired with any hair type. Even if you’re having a bad hair day, a bucket hat will save your look!

Step Out with Workout Sets

My favorite new trend is workout fits for game days. These two piece sets are perfect for any school. Amazon offers a whole range of different styles and colors to choose from!

I don’t know about you, but pants are a huge staple on any given game day. These fun, lace-up pants are the perfect mix of edgy and chic. Try looking for pants with in school colors for the next game day!

Whatever style you choose to pick, game day should be fun and filled with friends. If you need help, circle back to these inspo looks for tailgate season!
