Fall Football Game Outfits for the Stands

Fall Football Game Outfits for the Stands

A football game outfit has to handle a cold bench, a long afternoon and a lot of standing. This is how I would dress for the stands without looking like a mascot.

The stands are cold, and you will be there for hours. So I think about the outfit the way I would for a long day outside: warm layers, shoes you can stand in and a little bit of attitude.

It starts with the jacket. The Martin Grant wool military jacket in navy is the structured one, the Etro printed jacket is the one with pattern, and the Khaite Rolo velvet jacket in black is the dressy option for a night game. The Versace denim jacket in yellow is the one if you want to be spotted from the upper deck.

Wide and Straight Jeans

Jeans are the answer for the stands, because they are warm enough and tough enough for a metal bench.

The DL1961 x Olympia of Greece straight jeans in blue are the classic, and the Re/done Rewind wide-leg in a light wash is the roomy one. The MOUSSY VINTAGE Wildwood jeans are the lower-rise pair, and the SLVRLAKE Lexi wide-leg in red is the one for supporters who like a bit of team color.

Sneakers You Can Stand In

You will stand for most of the game, so the shoe has to be comfortable.

The Salomon XT-6 GTX in black is the sporty, grippy one for a wet day, and the Roger Vivier suede-trimmed canvas sneaker in white is the clean pair. The Miu Miu buckled leather sneaker in brown has some personality, and the Dries Van Noten panelled ballerina sneaker is the softer option.

Scarves and Wraps

A scarf is the easiest way to add warmth, and it doubles as a team color.

The Max Mara cashmere scarf in light blue is the soft one, and the Dries Van Noten Tophe striped wool scarf in blue is the bright one. The Gabriela Hearst Egret scarf in black is the long, elegant pair, and the MAJESTIC FILATURES cashmere shawl in tan is the one to wrap around your shoulders.

Cheer in Comfort

A jacket with some attitude, jeans for the bench, sneakers for standing and a scarf for the wind. That covers every quarter.

If this is the kind of week you are dressing for, I would also read my notes on apple picking outfits, cabin weekend outfits, weekend errands outfits and cozy girl outfits.
