What should I wear to my crush's basketball tourney?

If you’re gonna spend a day rootin’ from the bleachers, it’s key to dress casual and comfy. But, obvi, because your crush is there ya wanna look c-u-t-e, too. We’ve got the scoop on exactly what to wear on the sidelines (or for a day watching March Madness).

Rock team colors

You don’t have to paint your face, but sporting team colors shows spirit. If your crush goes to your school, rep your team by wearing a tee that’s emblazoned with the mascot or logo. If your cutie goes to another school, simply wearing a tee or tank in one of their colors is cool (but don’t go out and buy one of their shirts—that’s a bit over the top). We like the collegiate line over at VS for when we wanna go a li’l athletic.

Toss on a loose sweater

Hole-y knits are hot for spring and, bonus!, this one will keep you warm while you’re watching the guys. Something soft will show your girly side.

Shimmy into your fave jeans

It’s tempting to wear a skirt (so cute!) but you’ll just end up sticking to the bleachers or sitting awkwardly for hours (as a former cheerleader, I can say that with confidence). Instead, opt for your fave denim. You won’t be overdressed, you’ll feel totally comfy and will still look cute if you guys go out post-game for pizza.

Pick cute (but sensible!) shoes

We heart major heels too but, sadly, the gym is not the place for them. Skip over the sneaks and slip into cute flats. These ones have tons of texture.

Add some jewels

Ya don’t wanna go overboard with the bling, but wearing a darling pendant necklace or a quirky bracelet will put a li’l more “you” in your getup. Or keep the sporty vibe alive and deck your wrist in a plastic watch.
