So it’s getting pretty chilly outside for us Boonies, but football season is still in full swing. With temperatures dipping below the 60s, chances of rain, and probably snow soon enough, collegiettes are wondering how to look stylish and be prepared for whatever Boone’s weather throws at us. We’ve got dresses, skirts and tops, jeans, boots and all the accessories for showing Appalachian spirit during tailgate… but how the heck do we use them in this weather?!
1. The Classic Tailgate. It’s always been acceptable to don your team’s jersey, your favorite pair of jeans and boots. This is comfortable, classic, and you’ll look like the biggest Appalachian football fan! You can add a long sleeve black or yellow shirt underneath for an extra layer, too. These can be orderd online at Fanatic’s, and we have one in Boone mall!
2. All Black. A black dress is a staple item in every collegiette’s closet, and super easy to dress up. To keep up with the Boone weather, add a pair of fleece lined tights, your favorite game day boots, and a knitted cardigan or vest to complete your look. To add just a little pizazz to your outfit, find a cute chunky gold necklace.
3. Appalachian Pride. We don’t all love to rock just black to the game, where’s the fun in blending in with the crowd? Get a patterned dress or even a romper, and add a yellow scarf or long gold necklace. If you’re not in the mood for dressing up, wear your favorite Appalachian sweat shirt or spirit jersey and toss on a scarf to give it a little something extra. Investing in a black or hounds tooth patterned pea coat is a great idea for tailgating in Boone.
4. The True Fan. Take the school pride to a whole new level and invest in a pair of black and yellow stripped overalls. These are a huge hit with college football fans, and it’s easy to wear. Add a black long sleeve or sweatshirt underneath.
This is football season; you don’t have to go all out like you’re headed out for a night at the bars. There are so many ways to mix and match your wardrobe full of black and yellow to feel comfortable, warm and stylish in this Boone weather. Cardigans are your friend, as are boots and yellow or black pants. There’s nothing wrong with your favorite Appalachian sweatshirt for a cold night game either. You could also add a game day temporary tattoo for your face, or add an “I <3 the Mountaineers” pin to any outfit. Keep on the lookout at our local stores such as Lililu on King, Boone Belle, and the ever loved TJ Maxx for game day wear! Our bookstore also has plenty of options to show off your Appalachain Pride.
