8 Things Southern Women Would Never Wear to a Football Game—And What They Wear Instead

First off, let's start by saying something that should be obvious: Wear whatever the Sam Hill you want to wear to a football game. No one here is the judge and jury. But with dozens of SEC gamedays under my belt—and just as many outfit mishaps—I've settled on a few tried-and-true guidelines that can help us all get through another hot, sweaty tailgate season. Keep in mind that the days are long, the air conditioning is nonexistent, and the allowed bag size in the stadium has gotten mighty, mighty tiny. (Which significantly hinders space for on-the-go beauty supplies to use when you're dripping more sweat than the players.) The goal is to begin the day with your smartest foot forward, starting with a stylish but curated outfit to see you from tailgate to touchdowns to closing time. Here are the ultimate dos and don'ts of what to wear to a college football game in the South, should you be in need of inspiration.
