The Winning Look

Fresh, fun fashion for tailgating in style

TAILGATING SEASON IS

fast approaching, and that means thoughts will soon turn to what to wear. It’s easy to slip on a T-shirt representing a college or sports team for those much-anticipated games, but we’re all for taking tailgating and game day attire in a more stylish but still easy, fun and cool direction.

That translates to adding on-trend accessories, details and looks such as cowboy boots, puff-sleeve blouses, cut-outs, bralettes and bra tops, chunky sneakers, flare jeans, checks, bucket hats, Bermuda shorts, halter tops, miniskirts and frayed-hem denim shorts. Make sure a favorite sports team’s color is in the mix, and you’re ready for game time.

While tailgating usually takes place in parking lots close to a stadium or arena, those without tickets can make it happen almost anywhere as long as there’s a television. Let’s make that a big-screen television. Invite a few friends over for a more intimate watch party on the backyard patio if weather permits, or gather dozens of friends and like-minded sports fans at a mutually convenient site for a tailgate-style party before the game.

Let the cheering begin.
