Bowl Fashion

It’s Bowl Season! My favorite Holiday wedged in with Christmas and New Years! Once your team secures its place in a game, the next question after tickets is, what am I going to wear? For men, that usually entails a new T-Shirt and a hat; hopefully, that shirt and hat are super cool, vintage styles from a fantastic place like Gameday Cloth.

For women the process is a little more complicated. There’s no need to look like everyone else shopping at a general sports store for the cutest version of the most generic product that you’ll never wear again. You need something that you can integrate into your actual wardrobe and will make you feel great that day as you scream and yell for the boys to RUN! and GET HIM! and STOP HIM! Who says you can’t still be fashionable just because it’s sports?

Hopefully, I can put my styling and personal shopping skills to work and help you figure out exactly what you want to wear for the big game. And maybe even inspire some new fashion ideas in your every day wardrobe.

The scoopback sweatshirt is a great piece. Sweatshirts can be frumpy, but this is a cute way to show your school spirit. You can layer with a racerback tank or wear as is with a strapless. I personally own two: one size Small and one size Large. I liked having the versatility of two fits, depending on my mood that day. (*Scoopbacks available in Texas, SMU, TCU, Mizzou, LSU, A&M, Tech and OU).

Next is a scoopbottom top. The rounded bottom automatically creates the illusion of a smaller waistline, which when consuming beer at a tailgate is always helpful. I chose a maroon necklace, which can be worn anytime outside of the stands, and tall brown boots. I love brown with A&M maroon. (*Scoopbottoms available in Texas, SMU, Baylor and A&M).

If you prefer to go a more traditional route, a basic longsleeve or sweatshirt is a perfect bet. Be sure it’s fitted for a more flattering look and not sloppy. You won’t look good or feel good. Go the extra step and pick some jewelry or accessories in your team colors. I even threw on Uggs. If you’re standing, sitting, yelling and hiking from your seat to the bathroom, your feet should be cute and comfortable as well. (*Longsleeve/Sweatshirts available in SMU, LSU and OU).

And finally the tunic. This is the most current trend and can be converted to skinny jeans, depending on your personal taste. An extra long tank layered underneath, a pashmina or scarf around the neck, a blazer or jacket – there’s a million ways to personalize this outfit. For both of these looks I chose scarves in school colors and boots and leggings that coordinated for the most pulled together look. As an SMU alum, I practically live in my leggings, boots, baseball shirt and scarf. It’s cute, comfortable, stylish and makes me feel confident. (*Tunics available in Texas, Florida, TCU and OU). (*Baseball shirts available in Ohio State, SMU, Oklahoma State and Texas)

Love your team. Love your clothes.

 

Spirited Fashion – Tebow Style

He’s at it again. Tim Tebow is setting records in the NFL and he hasn’t even started his first season yet. As I previously mentioned, I bet that Tebow wouldn’t be drafted in the first round. I was wrong. Since being drafted by Denver, Tim Tebow’s #15 Bronco’s jersey is the fastest-selling rookie jersey of all-time. And apparently there isn’t a very close second place.

I still feel as passionately about the guy as I always have. There just has to be more to his story. And apparently I’m not the only one. Bronco’s blogs and message boards received polar reviews of the pick, yet nothing really down the middle. So good or bad, he’s definitely publicity for the team.

I’ll admit, if Tebow decided he liked Gameday Cloth and wanted some Univeristy of Florida gear, I would get it for him. Personally. And hand write the thank you note. Then drive it to him and take a picture of him wearing it.

I still feel the same. I just know Tebow repping your company is not a bad thing.

So fans will be showing up to Bronco’s games (and probably UF games) in the new Bronco’s #15 jersey. The fashionista in me has to object. Can’t there be some originality? Will everyone look the same?

I propose a vintage Gator T-shirt. Ironically, the colors for each team are very similar and everyone would know who you were supporting and envy how good you looked simultaneously. You can wear it to the game, wear it on the weekend and wear it to a casual job under a blazer. Where are you going to wear a jersey outside of a tailgate? And how much does that jersey cost?

And say you’re following the #1 draft pick, Sam Bradford. If you wore an old-school Oklahoma Tshirt, let’s make it white with red lettering to keep from accidentally supporting the opposing team in red, everyone would know who you were cheering for.

Let’s face it, the NFL is all about the players you support more than the team they play for. I bet that’s especially true in Tebow’s case. No matter who he plays for, his loyal followers will shun the colors from the previous team and refill their closet in the new team colors. Isn’t it just easier to rock out in Florida gear?

Love life, Live comfortable.

That’s the tagline for Opolis Clothing, an Oklahoma-based collegiate wear company. Since 2008, the company has been manufacturing new products in high quality with that vintage look people can’t get enough of. Here at Gameday Cloth, we are no different. I couldn’t resist our SMU women’s tee. It comes out of the wash, and I wear it again. And the cool stuff we’re ordering for the Fall – trust me, you can’t wait either!

Co-founders Zac Holland and Pat Waddell met in middle school, but didn’t come up with the company idea until after both graduated from the University of Oklahoma. As two graduates working on a small business ourselves, we have a soft spot in our heart for their story; it just so happens the product is great on its own.

Currently Gameday Cloth offers Opolis Clothing for Southern Methodist University and Texas Christian University, but are looking into their products for Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas schools as well.

It isn’t just local attention they’re attracting. Check out this shot of Baltimore Ravens wide receiver, Mark Clayton in an Opolis T-shirt with Michael Phelps.

If you haven’t tried out this new company yet, it’s definitely time you did.
