The most important part of football season is upon us and so is the cold, winter weather. Stay warm this tailgate season with these super cute fashions.
Turtlenecks can keep your wardrobe fashionable and warm.
Keeping warm during a tailgate doesn't have to mean big, bulky jackets. Simply grab a turtleneck sweater and pair it with dark jeans and a cute jacket. A turtleneck adds warmth to your neck without needing a big scarf and is super cute. Finish the look off with boots or sneakers and a beanie matching your team's colors.
Don’t forget to accessorize.
No, no, no, we don't mean earrings and bracelets. We mean gloves, scarves, hats or any other accessories that will keep you warm during your tailgate. Whether you rock your team's colors or your favorite animal print, stylish accessories can really take your bulky coat from drab to fab.
When dressing to stay warm, it’s important to follow the three W’s: Wicking, Warmth and Wind.
When you are layering clothes, the first thing to remember is wicking. You should wick moisture away from your skin by wearing long underwear or athletic gear, like leggings. The less moisture on your skin, the warmer you'll feel.
The second W is warmth.
The next thing to remember when it comes to layering is warmth. After wick, the next layer should create warmth. Whether you choose fleece, wool or fur, creating a layer of warmth will keep you toasty through out your tailgate.
And the final W stands for wind.
Finally, the last thing to remember when layering is wind. With many outdoor tailgates, the wind plays a huge factor in how cold it feels. By wearing a windbreaker or jacket that protects against the wind, you won't be affected at all by the windchill.
Plaid wool skirts can be just as warm during those winter tailgates.
Just because the temperatures have dropped doesn't mean you need to rule out skirts completely. Wool skirts are quite warm and when paired with tights or leggings, your legs will be completely covered. Top the skirt with a cozy sweater and jacket.
Keep it casual with jeans and a sweater.
Jeans and a sweater are always a cute and comfortable go to when it comes to tailgates. Just make sure you're layering to keep warm, because sometimes just a sweater won't do. Wear leggings and wool socks under your jeans to keep your legs and feet warm. Add a long sleeve shirt under your sweater and a cute jacket on top.
Faux fur is a winter tailgate must.
Not only is faux fur warm but it will also make you feel like you've stepped off the runway. Start your look off with jeans and a comfy turtleneck. For more layers you can add a pair of leggings under your jeans and a button down on top of your turtleneck. Add a big faux fur jacket and you're bound to stay warm during the game.
Stylish jogger pants are the perfect way to stay warm and cute.
Like jeans, jogger pants can work in more ways than one. They're cute and warm. Again you may want to pair leggings underneath, but the cotton and tight fit around the ankles should keep your legs warm.
Sport leather with style.
Leather is another fashionable trend that you can rock at a tailgate. Throw on a pair of jeans, black booties, a sweater and top it off with a heavy leather jacket.
Opt for a cute game day sticker or war paint.
If you do this, you're still rocking team pride without sacrificing your warmth. You can bundle up in a hoodie and puffy coat without having to worry about wearing any of your team's colors. And who doesn't love cute mascot face tattoos?!
Keep it simple.
Don't have a jacket that matches your team's colors? No problem. Grab a pair of gloves, a hat or sunglasses that show off your team pride. This way you won't have to sacrifice warmth in order to show some spirit.
When in doubt, warm up with whiskey.
In true tailgate fashion, one way to stay warm is by drinking. Wether you try your hand at Fireball whiskey or opt for hot chocolate with peppermint Schnapps, the alcohol will surely keep you warm for a little while.
