Okay, here’s my take on a blog post about LSU game day outfits, written in a casual, relatable style, focusing on my own experiences and choices.
Alright y’all, let’s talk about LSU game day outfits! I know, I know, it’s a serious business. It’s not just about showing your team spirit, it’s about looking good while doing it. And trust me, I’ve had my fair share of outfit fails over the years. So, I figured I’d share my tried-and-true game day outfit strategies, what I’ve learned, and some of my go-to looks. Ready? Let’s dive in!
First things first, I always start with the color scheme. Obvious, right? Purple and gold, baby! But the key is how you incorporate them. I used to go full-on, head-to-toe purple and gold. Think purple glitter eyeshadow, gold leggings… It was a lot. Looking back, I cringe a little. Now, I aim for a more balanced approach.
Here’s my typical process:
- Start with a base: Usually, it’s a simple white or black top or dress. This gives you a neutral canvas to build on.
- Add the purple: This could be a cute purple skirt, a purple and gold striped tee, or even just a purple bandana tied around my wrist or bag.
- Sprinkle in the gold: Gold accessories are your best friend! Think gold jewelry, a gold belt, or gold shoes (if you’re feeling fancy).
- Comfort is KEY: Remember, you’re going to be on your feet for hours, probably sweating in the Louisiana heat. So, choose breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes. I learned this the hard way after one game where I wore super cute but horribly uncomfortable wedges. Never again!
My Go-To Game Day Looks
Look #1: The Casual Fan
This is my go-to when I want to be comfy but still show my spirit.
I usually start with a pair of denim shorts.
Next, I’ll grab a white t-shirt and tie it in a knot to make it look a little more interesting.
Then I layer over a purple and gold flannel. I love the flannel.
Finally, white sneakers, gold hoop earrings, and a purple baseball cap to complete the look. Easy peasy!
Look #2: The Dressy Fan
If I’m feeling a little more put-together, I’ll reach for a simple black or white dress.
Then, I’ll accessorize with purple and gold jewelry. Think layered gold necklaces and purple earrings.
I might add a gold belt to cinch in my waist.
Finally, I’ll grab some comfortable sandals or wedges. Nothing too crazy, remember comfort! I also might do a swipe of purple eyeliner.
Look #3: The “It’s Freezing” Fan
Okay, let’s be real, it doesn’t get that cold in Baton Rouge very often, but sometimes it does! So, for colder games, I’ll layer up. I’ll start with leggings.
Then I’ll grab a long-sleeved purple shirt.
Then I’ll throw on my purple LSU hoodie.
And top it all off with a purple and gold scarf and beanie. Warm and spirited!
Pro-Tip: Don’t forget the clear bag! They’re required at most stadiums now, so make sure you have one that fits your phone, wallet, and maybe a small snack. I like to decorate mine with purple and gold ribbons to make it a little more festive.
Honestly, the most important thing is to have fun and show your LSU pride! Don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you. And if you see me at the game, come say hi! Geaux Tigers!
