What to Wear to a Football Game

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.
