Basketball Game Outfit #1:

What a cute look to start off our list with!

For this one, you’ll want to grab an oversized basketball jersey and layer it with a simple white t-shirt.

I’d go with an oversized, baggy shirt to match the overall vibe of the outfit.

For shoes, you can’t go wrong with a super chunky pair of sneakers for the ultimate streetwear aesthetic.

Pair them with some Nike crew socks and you’re all set to go to the game.

Basketball Game Outfit #2

The white and green color combo looks so good in this next outfit!

This look is the perfect balance between sporty and preppy.

Grab a jersey and layer it over a slim fitting white long sleeved turtleneck.

Pair it with white shorts, or shorts in whatever color matches your turtleneck. Black on black would look so good, too!

For shoes, I’m loving how this girl continues the almost all white theme with simple white sneakers and crew socks.

Basketball Game Outfit #3

If you’re more of a dress gal, why not grab an oversized jersey and wear it as a dress?

Finish the look with chunky sneakers, matching jewelry, and a handbag. Easy!

Basketball Game Outfit #4

If your basketball jersey’s too big but not big enough to wear it as a dress, you might want to try this method of styling it.

Simply bunch it up in the front and use a hair elastic to tie the front into a little knot.

From there, pair it with your favorite jeans and sneakers and you’ve got an outfit perfect for game day.

Basketball Game Outfit #5

If oversized, baggy looks are your thing, this next outfit should be up your alley.

Or if you simply love looks made up of comfy clothes, you’ll love this as well.

Similarly to outfit #1, a baggy, plain white tee will come in handy here.

But this time, try rolling up the sleeves a bit! This will add to that super casual, athletic style we all love.

Pick a loose fitting pair of pants for the bottoms, like cargo pants or even sweatpants.

Ones that are more fitted to your lower legs and looser on top will help balance out the overall bagginess of the outfit.

Basketball Game Outfit #6

I love the combination of girly details like frills and fishnets with sporty pieces like jerseys and sneakers in this next look.

Definitely one to take inspiration from if you identify with both styles!

Basketball Game Outfit #7

What a cute look for spirit week if you’re a high school or college student!

This look is perfect if you have an oversized basketball jersey that could almost work as a dress, but isn’t quite long enough for that. In that case, wear a simple pair of biker shorts underneath!

Layer your long jersey with a simple long sleeved tee and complete the look with tennis shoes or sneakers.

I’m also loving the cute hairstyle this girl did as well!

Basketball Game Outfit #8

Talk about sporty casual vibes!

This look is all about loose pieces and bold, contrasting colors that give it that athletic, streetwear type of style.

So, how do you get the look?

On top, experiment with layering different pieces like jerseys, sweatshirts, and hoodies.

Match it on the bottom with looser pants like sweatpants, and finish it off with chunky dad sneakers.

Basketball Game Outfit #9

Who says you can’t pair a sports jersey with heels? Think again!

For this look, grab an oversized jersey and layer it with a simple t-shirt.

To accessorize your look, try using scrunchies with your team colors in your hair, on your wrist, or wherever you think they’ll look cute.

Basketball Game Outfit #14

This outfit is super cute if it happens to be hot out.

All you need is a jersey, shorts, and sneakers.

To make the look feel more complete, try wearing some bold jewelry like hoops or a necklace like the girl in this picture.

I can also see a white baseball cap going really well here, too!

Basketball Game Outfit #15

Loose and baggy looks are some of my favorites, and this next outfit is no exception.

Chunky dad sneakers match the vibes of this outfit perfectly, and I also love the hair pulled back in a claw clip for a feminine touch.

Basketball Game Outfit #16

Cozy and comfy is the name of the game here!

It’s easy to think you can’t look stylish while wearing leggings and hoodies, and here’s proof that you can indeed.

To add to the look, try rolling up the sleeves of your sweatshirt or pulling your hair back in a messy bun or pony tail.

This is a perfect opportunity to use those scrunchies.

Basketball Game Outfit #17

For anyone who loves monochrome or near monochrome looks, you’ll love this next one!

Just find a matching jersey and shorts combo.

All you have to do from there is style the rest of the look with accessories like jewelry, a handbag, or hat.

Chunky, layered necklace sets like the one this girl is wearing will look so good with this type of outfit!
