Fall, Football and Fashion: How to dress for the tailgating season
With autumn here, tailgating season has fallen upon us. It’s time for barbeque, all day parties, and of course celebrating your favorite team.
Tailgating is so much fun and a great time to put together chic outfits while still cheering on the Cats. Here are the must-have classics to incorporate into your tailgating style.
Chunky sweaters: This is the easiest item to wear for a few reasons. The first and most important reason is that it’s super comfortable and warm. Football lasts all of autumn and the weather has already begun to drop pretty quickly, so it’s important to be bundled up. It’s also easy to find cute sweaters in your school’s colors. Whether it’s solid blue, striped, or even a cool vintage sweater, pair this with any outfit to stay warm and cozy.
Monochrome: This look could be worn if you’re trying to look more sophisticated. Wearing all one color (blue or white in our case) with a statement piece of jewelry or bag can really make you stand out in the cowboy-boot-wearing crowd.
Denim: With UK’s colors, blue denim is easily incorporated into an outfit for a casual and festive look. Pairing a jean jacket or denim skirt with UK blue is a great way to make your outfit edgier while still showing support for your team.
Dresses: Dresses are a great option for tailgating and the one piece you’ll probably see the most of. They can be dressed up or down and there are endless possibilities of styles and patterns you can find at local boutiques around Lexington. You can also layer your dress with tights or a jacket so you can stay warm when the weather cools down. From a simple t-shirt dress to peplum, dresses are sure to give you a win on game days.
