gameday ready… it’s football time in tennessee

Uncategorized

July 29, 2025

It’s almost that time again for the best time of year friends… SEC football Saturdays, cooler temps and all the bright orange I can possibly wear!! You know I never miss a chance to get decked out for gameday, and this fall will absolutely be no exception. Whether we’re heading to the stadium, hosting friends at home, tackling a friend’s tailgate OR just making it a weekend excuse to dress cute and celebrate = I’m here for ALL the football fun!! There truly is NOTHING like football time in Tennessee.

Kicking things off with a little Orange Crush moment—this Linen-Blend Button Skort Dress [runs TTS/wearing XS] from Abercrombie is the MVP of my gameday wardrobe for those late summer/early fall games when you want to look cute + festive but the temps are still blazing hot in the stands. I love that it’s lightweight and versatile, but still looks pulled together and totally chic and you can accessorize it up with lots of fun statement accessories for supporting your team on their next touchdown. The subtle button detail adds just the right touch of structure, and the built-in shorts make it totally tailgate approved! Pair it with your go-to neutral crossbody and a stack of Allie + Bess arm candy [always 20% off with NATASHA20], and you’re ready to cheer on your team all day long.

And because one outfit isn’t nearly enough to cheer on your teams, you know I’m bringing you more FIRE ORANGE FUN to start styling this season! From statement sneakers to spirited accessories, I’ve rounded up the must-haves to keep your gameday style on point this season—yes, I’m talking comfy + cute, because we don’t do boring around here… think flirty smocked dresses, bold heart earrings, square sunnies, and the cutest mix of sneakers, mary janes, and slides to keep you comfy from kickoff to post-game celebrations. Whether you’re going all in with a two-piece set or adding a pop of color with a woven bag or statement stack, these picks bring the happy and the hype. Scroll on to shop everything featured in the collage and get ready to cheer in style all season long!

I also shared the ALL new collegiate debut for Tennessee from Queen of Sparkles the other day over on Instagram and it’s safe to say you all love the sequins + sparkle just as much as I do for gameday! I scooped up this adorable checkerboard vest of course for a fun play on our famous endzone, but have no fear if you’re not ALL VOL: they’ve got shops for Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas and more.

Whether you’re a VOLS fan like me… or you bleed crimson, navy, or any other school color, I’ve got just the inspo you need to make a statement in the stands. From vibrant smocked dresses to bold accessories, I’ve got everything you need for one winning ensemble when game day kicks off [42 if you’re counting down like me]

Moving right along down the sidelines… let’s talk a little bit about tried and true basics that you can wear to ANY and ALL games and play up with versatile add-ons + accessories. Case in point: You know I couldn’t resist this adorable Football Sweater vest from Avara [runs TTS, wearing XS/a steal for just $58]—it’s giving classic gameday with a side of rhinestone rowdy! I paired it with my favorite Kimberly Wide Leg Jeans [run TTS/wearing size 24] for a comfy but polished vibe, perfect for a house party or watching from the stands. And yes, it’s sleeveless so you won’t overheat during that first kickoff, but the knit gives you all the cozy fall feels that you can totally layer up for later = versatile + very cost-effective, I’ll take it! Add a neutral shoe and a bold lip and you’re good to go!

And because I’ve got to start thinking about the girls’ gameday looks for Friday Night Lights this season, I rounded up a handful of my favorite RED inspired finds! Our school colors are classic = red hot red + neutral navy so you know I go all out when it’s time to support our beloved Eagles. Here are some winning gameday looks you’ll love if red is in your football forecast this year!
