Okay, so, I’ve been seeing a lot of people rocking football jerseys lately, and not just at games. It got me thinking, “Can I pull that off?” I mean, I love football, but I also want to look somewhat put-together, you know? So, I decided to experiment and figure out how to actually style a football jersey for everyday wear.
First things first, I picked out a jersey. Obviously, it’s my favorite team’s. It’s a bit oversized, which seems to be the way to go.
Then I started playing around with different combinations, trying to find what works and what definitely doesn’t.
Here’s what I tried:
- The Casual Look: This one was pretty easy. I just threw the jersey on over a plain white tee and some jeans. It’s simple, comfortable, and perfect for running errands or grabbing coffee with friends. I also tried it with a long-sleeve shirt underneath for when it’s a bit cooler out.
- The Slightly-More-Dressed-Up Look: Okay, this one took a little more thought. I paired the jersey with some black skinny jeans and ankle boots. It felt a bit more stylish. I even tucked in the front of the jersey a little, just to give it some shape. Also I paired my oversized jersey with some simple black biker shorts, white sneakers, and crew socks.
- The “Trying to be Trendy” Look: I saw some people wearing their jerseys with biker shorts or even as a dress, so I figured I’d give it a shot. Honestly, it wasn’t my favorite, but I can see how it could work for others.
- The Layered Look: I saw someone wearing their jersey under a denim jacket, and I thought it looked pretty cool. I tried it, and I actually liked it! It’s a great way to wear your jersey in the fall or winter.
After all this experimenting, I realized that styling a football jersey is all about balance. You want to offset the sportiness of the jersey with other pieces that are more casual or even a little dressy. And accessories can make a big difference! A simple necklace or a cool hat can really elevate the look.
I also found that it’s important to consider the fit of the jersey. If it’s really oversized, you might want to pair it with something more fitted on the bottom. And if it’s more of a regular fit, you have more flexibility with what you wear it with.
In the end, I discovered that I actually can pull off a football jersey outside of a game! It just takes a little bit of creativity and experimentation. So, if you’ve been wanting to try this trend, go for it! You might be surprised at how much you like it. I learned that it is all about confidence. If you feel good in it, you’ll rock it!
