11 Football Outfits to Inspire Your Game-Day Attire This Season
At long last, fall has finally made its return — bringing with it cooler temperatures, pumpkin spice beverages, and a brand-new season of thrilling football action.
ICYMI: the 2024-2025 NFL season is set to kick off on Thursday, Sept. 5 when the reigning Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, face off against the Baltimore Ravens. Whether you're a longtime football fan or a new viewer brought to the game by way of a certain blonde pop star, now's the perfect time to get your game-day wardrobe prepped for the upcoming season — that way you can cheer on your favorite team (or player) in style.
Unlike NBA and WNBA games, figuring out what to wear to a football game can be a complicated task. Since many NFL stadiums have open roofs, you'll need to take the weather into account; if you're attending in the fall, the right transitional outfit will ensure you don't get too warm or too cold, whereas winter games will call for heavier layers and insulated clothes (especially if there's snow in the forecast).
While football outfits tend to center around team gear or NFL merchandise, there are plenty of ways to style your game-day outfit so that it's on theme and still versatile enough for day-to-night wear. Luckily for us (and our wardrobes), celebrities like Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, and Olivia Culpo provide plenty of inspiration for football game outfit ideas, along with other stylish WAGs (wives and girlfriends) — like Kristen Juszczyk or Brittany Mahomes.
From pairing a cozy crewneck with Halara's famous Taylor Swift skirt for a high school-inspired look to teaming a varsity jacket with faux-leather leggings for an ensemble that can take you from game day to date night, we've curated a guide to the best football game outfits for women.
Our favorite selects include a logo baby tee from Abercrombie's NFL collection, cozy joggers, and a themed bracelet set from BaubleBar. Keep reading to shop our full guide.
A Bucket Hat
Zhats NCAA Officially Licensed Bucket Hat ($25, originally $30)
If you're wondering what to wear to a college football game, look no further than this logo bucket hat. The bold accessory features Ohio State's lettering all across the piece, plus it's wrapped in a bright red coloring that's bound to liven up even the most understated football outfit. Wear it to the next home game or around campus if you're a student.
A Pleated Micro Skirt
Halara Breezeful High-Waisted Pleated Micro Skirt ($30, originally $40)
Last season, Taylor Swift's NFL game attire often included pleated skirts, and this Halara style is a favorite of the musician. She was first spotted wearing the buckled piece while attending Coachella alongside boyfriend Travis Kelce, and then again in rehearsals for the Eras Tour. Style this leggy skirt with an oversize crewneck and boots for a look that's so high school.
A Baby Tee
Abercrombie & Fitch Short-Sleeve Pittsburgh Steelers Graphic Tee ($45)
For a style that you can wear to a football game or while you're watching one from home, go for this fitted baby tee from Abercrombie. The top is available in nine different colors, including ones with logo designs from NFL teams like the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, and more.
A Bracelet Set
BaubleBar NFL Bracelet Set ($48)
Carry your football fandom wherever you go with this delicate bracelet set from BaubleBar. The bundle comes with three unique styles, including a bracelet with crystal-encrusted accents.
Vegan Leather Leggings
Lulus Rock Music Black Vegan Leather Leggings ($49)
When the temperature drops, you'll be glad to have these faux-leather leggings in your game day wardrobe. The pants are made from a flexible material that insulates heat well, while also providing plenty of stretch so that you can move around the stadium with ease. Pair them with a corset top, varsity jacket, and combat boots for the edgiest football outfit.
A Football Necklace
Kendra Scott Football Short Pendant Necklace ($65)
Any football-lover will adore having this pendant close to their heart. The accessory features a delicate football charm that's framed with orange goldstone. Treat yourself to the piece ahead of the NFL season kickoff or gift it to the sport's fan in your life.
A Vintage Crewneck
Abercrombie & Fitch "Go Team" Vintage Sunday Crew ($70)
Even if you're not rooting for a specific team, you can still get into the action of the game with a style that can be worn to any sports game — whether it be football, basketball, or even a soccer match. This cheeky crewneck has "Go Sports" printed across the front, so you can slip into it for any match — regardless of whose playing.
Cozy Joggers
47 Brand Chicago Bears Venice Joggers ($80)
For a piece that doesn't sacrifice on style or comfort, you can't go wrong with these cozy joggers. The classic sweatpants are available to shop with multiple NFL team names and logos. Plus, they're made from a supremely soft fleece material that'll keep you feeling comfortable for hours on end — even if the game goes into overtime.
An Oversize Crewneck
Abercrombie & Fitch Buffalo Bills Graphic Oversized Sunday Crew ($80)
This oversize sweatshirt is one of many adorable styles that you can shop from the new NFL by Abercrombie collection, which features an array of pieces that range from graphic T-shirts to V-neck sweaters.
A Varsity Jacket
Steve Madden Alexandra Jacket ($89)
Nothing says "game day style" quite like a classic varsity jacket. You might not be borrowing this piece from your football player boyfriend (we can dream), but at least you'll tap into the sport's most timeless attire with this cool layer.
A V-Neck Sweater
Abercrombie & Fitch Kansas City Chiefs LuxeLoft V-Neck Sweater ($100)
If we didn't know any better, we'd guess this was a retro uniform for NFL cheerleaders. The preppy V-neck sweater looks so elevated with its lived-in silhouette and sleek coloring. Pair it with a pleated mini skirt and Mary Janes for the most feminine football outfit.
