Game day style plan: These tailgating looks are winning
Game day is the perfect opportunity to step up your fashion game.
Let this football season lend an all new meaning to “Sunday’s best” attire: We’re talking about an outfit that is comfy enough you can toss the pigskin around at a tailgating party, and stylish enough you’ll actually want to get caught by the Jumbo-tron cameras.
No matter who you’re cheering for this football season, here’s how to bring your style A-game to the next tailgating party.
Good luck charm:
Pandora ‘NFL Team’ Logo Engraved Football Charm, $160 (plus Cash Back), Nordstrom
Football fans can be a superstitious bunch — especially those rooting for the Baltimore Ravens, Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints, according to a “superstition study” a couple years back that was conducted by Bud Light and KRC Research. The study also found that 42 percent of female Buccaneers fans wear a lucky article of clothing on game day, which is twice as much as their male counterparts.
Blend your superstition and style with a good luck charm. Pandora, one of our fave jewelry makers, has teamed up with the National Football League for NFL-licensed helmet charms. They’re made with sterling silver and 14K gold and can be strung on a charm bracelet or be a sporty addition to a necklace chain.

Scarf it up:
Women’s Cable-Knit Infinity Scarf, on sale $16 (plus Cash Back), Old Navy
As we celebrate the fall equinox and crisper autumn days, keep cozy in your fan gear by adding on layers. We love how a scarf can play double duty: Keeping your neck warm (hey, you need to protect those fight song-singing vocal chords) while also looking stylish. No matter what team logo you’re wearing on your T-shirt or sweatshirt, loop around a cable knit infinity scarf in a shade that complements your team’s colors or don a neutral color one. This fall style staple comes in fresh colors like a chartreuse “pressed olive” and teal “kelp forest” as well as neutral stand-bys like “creme de la creme” and grey.

Jean pool:
AEO Denim X Jegging, $54.95 (plus Cash Back), American Eagle Outfitters
