Welcome back to Saturdays spent wearing cowboy boots and your purple-and-gold best. As the Tigers’ first home game approaches this weekend, make sure you stock these gameday essentials in your closet.
Patterned Dress
When it comes to proper game day attire, purple and gold dresses aren’t your only option. Mix up your wardrobe with patterns and prints that feature University colors. Not only are patterned dresses easy to find, but they can also be cheaper than the staple purple or gold gameday dress.
Romper
As a comfortable, fashionable and practical alternative to wearing a dress, rompers are still “dressed up” enough to remain acceptable. Retailers offer a variety of styles, prints and lengths of rompers. Worn with the right accessories, rompers can transform any look from comfy to classy.
Gameday Top
Tailgate outfits aren’t limited to one-pieces — versatile separates allow you to mix and match. You can pair a purple or gold top with jeans, shorts and more.
Dashiki
True fashionistas know how to create their own gameday trends. Any fashionable clothing item that incorporates purple or gold can be styled and used for gamedays. This West African-based shirt, known as a Dashiki, adds a stylish and unique flare to the typical Tiger Stadium style.
Cowboy boots
With gamedays come muddy water, drink spills and a Parade Ground filled with grass. Wearing sandals or flip flops can result in dirty feet and grass-covered bottoms, but cowboy boots provide wearers with protection, comfort and mobility. Whether they are light brown, dark brown, purple or gold, cowboy boots are a must.
