The calendar has finally flipped to August, and while the heat isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, football season is officially on everyone’s mind.
If growing up in Mississippi has taught me anything, it’s that game day is just as much about the outfit as it is the sport. From tailgating to football parties, we start thinking about what we’re going to wear long before kickoff.
As a lifelong Ole Miss fan, I’ve spent plenty of Saturdays in the Grove, where I have learned the art of putting together a game-day look. It’s just a part of the experience! Whether you’re heading to Oxford, Baton Rouge or New Orleans, I’ve put together a few outfit ideas to help inspire your game-day style this season.
