A jersey to show support for your favorite team is the perfect thing to wear. But if you think there’s no way to wear a jersey and actually look stylish, think again!

Today’s post is all about how to wear a football jersey.

I’m sharing 16 inspiration photos that are perfect for helping you plan your game day look so you can enjoy the day game in style. Remember to save your favorites to Pinterest!

Let’s get into it. Here’s how to wear a football jersey (and make it look stylish).

#1: Pair It With Gym Shorts

Wanna go for a sporty casual look? Pair your jersey with simple gym shorts and matching sneakers. Perfect for a hot day!

#2: With Denim Shorts & Cowgirl Boots

This look will work for fans of any team, but is especially fitting for Cowboys fans.

To recreate this outfit, tuck your jersey into classic denim shorts and finish off the look with a pair of cowgirl boots.

To take the cowgirl look one step further, you can add a bandana or cowgirl hat (or even both) to the ensemble.

#3: Oversized With Dad Sneakers

Is your jersey too big to tuck into your shorts and look good? Your best bet may be to wear it as a dress.

This is a super simple look to throw together, and I love the idea of pairing it with chunky dad sneakers and crew socks like the girl in the photo to add an athletic feel to the outfit.

If your jersey is too big to tuck in and not big enough to wear as a dress, I’d pair it with some biker shorts or leggings.

#4: Go Street Style

The next idea is to go all out with a streetwear inspired look.

In this photo, you’ll notice these girls wearing their football jerseys super oversized, and complimenting the look with snapbacks, tall socks, and Converse. Love it!

#5: As A Dress With Tall Boots

Next, try combining the oversized jersey look with cowgirl inspired fashion like tall boots. I love the combo of sporty and feminine vibes in this outfit.

It’s a pretty simple look, so you can always add your own flair with accessories like shoulder bags, sunglasses, and jewelry.

#6: With Jeans & Sneakers

Have literally no idea what to wear with your football jersey? Is it going to be cold on game day?

If you answered yes to either (or both) of these questions, try going with a classic jeans and sneakers look. It’s a personal favorite that never fails!

#7: Turtleneck & Skirt

Ultimate fashionistas, this is a look you’ll definitely want to save to your Pinterest boards.

To recreate this outfit, layer your jersey with a simple turtleneck underneath.

White or black typically works best, but choose whatever color you feel best compliments your jersey. Then, tuck your jersey into a leather skirt!

You can also wear stockings underneath your skirt if that’s your style. For shoes, I’m feeling black ankle boots.

#8: Tucked Into Mom Jeans

This is a such a cute look for college game day!

If your football jersey happens to have ridiculously long “short” sleeves that go all the way to your elbows, this is a great outfit to take inspiration from.

You can layer your jersey with a simple long sleeved shirt underneath, and then tuck it into mom jeans on the bottom.

I’m also loving the rolled up look for the jeans! If you have shorter legs and your jeans are always just slightly too long, rolling them up is a really easy way to make your pants look cute and better fitting.

And can we talk about the fun paint job on these jeans? If you’ve got an artistic flair and want to recreate that look, it could make for a really fun DIY project using some fabric paint.

For shoes, I find that simple white sneakers and mom jeans always make a super cute combination.

#9: As A Dress With Heels

If you still want to show some team pride but love having more of a feminine style to your outfits, you can always pair your jersey dress with some heels!

This is a really beautiful and simple look that I personally love, although I’d take caution if you’re going to be doing a lot of walking on game day.

Maybe bring a comfy change of shoes in your bag as a backup!

#10: Mom Jeans & Sneakers

Next in my post on how to wear a football jersey is a super cute inspo photo if you love loose and baggy bottoms.

I adore pants like these, and I think they work best with fitted or mildy oversized jerseys. But honestly, if you like your outfit, that’s all that matters!

Game day fashion is ton of fun, so use it to express your personal style.

#11: Layered With A Sweatshirt

This next look is perfect for anyone who loves super casual fashion.

Layer your jersey with a matching hoodie, and add some jeans, sneakers, and a snapback to the look. You’re all set!

#12: Baggy On Top & Bottom

Loose and baggy fashion is a personal favorite for me. If you’re the same, this next outfit idea will be right up your alley.

Pair a large jersey with loose fitting gym shorts. For shoes, bold sneakers and crew socks are a classic combo that give this outfit a sporty vibe perfect for a football game.

#13: As A Dress With Knee Socks

Knee socks are a really cute look that definitely give me cheerleader vibes.

Whether you’re a cheerleader or not, pair your socks with simple white sneakers and a jersey dress for an outfit perfect for college game day!

#14: With Leggings & Sneakers

Like taking the easy path when it comes to fashion? Honestly, same.

If your jersey is long enough to reach your thighs, it’ll probably look great with some classic leggings and sneakers.

I love looks like these because they provide plenty of coverage, so if you don’t feel like wearing something you’ll have to constantly adjust throughout the game, this is an ideal look to take inspiration from.

Plus, it’s great for chilly game days when shorts are just not an option.

#15: Oversized With Boots

Here’s another cute way to wear your jersey dress with cowgirl boots.

This is a great outfit to add fun game day accessories to like bead necklaces, bandanas, pins, hats, face stickers, and so on.

#16: Oversized With A Choker
