What to wear to your first college home game
Fall is an exciting time for new college freshmen and their parents. It’s the first time your kid is living away from home. For students, it’s a time for new friends, new freedoms, and of course, football.
One of the traditions is tailgating; a vast gathering of cars, food and drink. For alumni, it’s an annual event where people load their cars with barbque grills, chairs and tables. They even bring the dogs. Many use this time to socialize and they watch the game on their computers while soaking up the sun.
What to Wear
Some of the most ardent football fans are found in the south. Here’s what Southern Tide has to say.
For women; leave pricey jewelry at home
Wear comfortable shoes
Wear your school colors and pair your jeans with classic sneakers; better for cheering from the stands. In fact, some schools like Notre Dame have a tradition of turning girls upside down when the home team scores. Be prepared!
Stay casual and cool; early Fall can be hot and you don’t want to ruin your look with a lot of sweat.

Note the green colors and logos.
Getting your accessories right
Baseball hats are de rigueur; everybody wears them. This can even work on younger moms and dads, but if you’re an older parent or a grandparent; go for something more prep chic. For instance, you can amp up your look with a pair of sun glasses – maybe even find rims or lenses in the school color.
Shorts and T’s
Khaki shorts are always a winner. Wear them with a school polo or T and a cute pair of sandals, and you can’t lose.
If glam is your thing
A jeans skirt and college t-shirt is a winner; especially for the leggy types. And denim cut offs on hot days are also acceptable, especially when you pair them with a cute pair of wedges.
A few no-no’s
Forget about the body paint. Even for guys, this is typically not welcome at home games. Your school may or may not have a dress code, but overdoing it with paint or going shirtless is usually not going to get you anything but a polite suggestion to cover up.
