1. Wear it like a dress.
Some of the biggest street stars around are wearing oversized sports jerseys as dresses. Part sexy, part sporty (they don’t wear them like tight body-con dresses, but rather boxy and oversized), we love this look for a casual first date, when you want to show off a little, but not too much.
2. Play with proportions.
Look for cool sports jerseys that play with proportions (like long in the back and short in the front) to give the look a fun, fashion forward spin. Then rock the top with cut-offs or jeans.
3. Layer it over a longer dress or skirt.
Want to transform your oversized jersey into something more than a mini-dress? We love the idea of wearing it over a longer piece, and letting that piece peek out just a bit.
4. Keep the color palette and accessories simple.
Keep the color palette of your outfit simple when wearing a sports jersey—you’ll notice that most street style stars are either wearing a combination of primary colors or keeping their outfit to black and white. In the same vein, don’t go overboard with accessories.
5. And above all else, don’t be afraid to dress it up.
Sports jerseys scream casual, which is why it is so fun to switch things up and dress them up with ladylike high heels and a killer statement bag.
