02 Dec Staying Warm and Stylish on Game Day
It may shock some people to know that I’m a big MMA fan, but it also may {or may not?} shock you to know I’ve never been to a professional sporting event. Even back in high school when my school’s football team was state champs {go Hackensack Comets!}, I never attended a single game.
However, I have started watching football. It all started about two or three years ago when I went to a Super Bowl party and instead of just eating buffalo wings with blue cheese, I actually watched the game. And I liked it. Like, I was really getting into it. I still don’t fully understand the rules, but it’s entertaining.
And my team of choice has become the Pittsburgh Steelers. Though I have yet to go to a game, when I do make it there, I’ll be decked out in style with some threads from the NFL Shop. This look is fashionable but still warm enough for game day!
This was my first time shopping the NFL Shop site, but the experience was super easy. The clothing is broken down by team, specific apparel and there’s even a section for tailgating and your home office.
I naturally ventured to the Steelers page and quickly added the v-neck logo sweater to my cart. I’ve gotta admit, the thing that made me initially notice the Steelers is their colors. Y’all know I love bright hues! Though the sweater clearly reps for the team, this can be super stylish even on non-game days.
I naturally layer most sweaters with a button down underneath, but this sweater is so warm I would have been perfectly toasty without doing so. The faux leather skirt {thrifted a few years ago!} has a bit of a cheerleader vibe thanks to the length and pleats. And while heels are my natural default, on game day it’s definitely about being comfortable and occasion appropriate, so I wore these low boots with a leopard detail in the back. Again, this look reps for the team but it doesn’t require me to lose my individual sense of style. And the utility jacket has a bit of a sporty feel but the back detail adds extra style points.
Finally, am I the only one who had no idea Alex and Ani has NFL themed bracelets? Because I’m a fan of their bangles, this selection was a no brainer. If you know a sports fan who also loves a good accessory, this would be a cool gift option, in addition to or in lieu of the typical team jersey, sweatshirt, etc.
