“I’m from Nashville, so I do a lot of my shopping there, but when I’m here, I go to Deep South Pout, LA Green and Libby Story,” she said.
For the guys, George Sherman and Reed’s offer some gameday basics that make great additions to any Bulldog’s wardrobe.
Unfortunately, students at MSU know to expect some inclement weather this upcoming football season.
But don’t be discouraged; Stewart shared some suggestions for cute, but practical, rain gear.
“Hunter rain boots and The North Face rain jackets,” she said.
Lauren Anne Cooper, LA Green owner, confirmed cowboy boots as a major fashion statement this year.
“Our most popular shoe during football season are our cowboy boots,” she said.
These shoes are perfect for trudging around the muddy Junction. Heels, on the other hand, are a definite no. Not only will they make your tailgate hopping experience extremely painful, but the Junction is no place for those Jimmy Choo wedges. Save those for the dance floor!
Jeans are great for fall and when tucked into your favorite boots, you can proceed to enjoy your game day in comfort.
Paired with a fashionable top or sweater, this look is classic for game day.
Bailey McCreary, the fashion expert behind Deep South Pout, adds to this idea by sharing the benefits of putting separates together.
“The store has some great maroon skinny jeans that can be paired with boots and a cute top that can look just as good as a dress,” she said.
Cooper from LA Green said students should also keep an eye out for ankle boots this season.
When it comes to staples, there are some items every lady Bulldog absolutely has to have in her closest. For some, this may be a maroon sweater or your favorite peacoat.
Stewart said her favorite staple is a scarf.
“My favorite essentials are scarves, probably in maroon, gray or black,” she said.
These truly can go with any outfit, and can be reused (in a tasteful way) one year after another.
One accessory idea would be LA Green’s “Lillie and Laura” bracelets. The bracelets are perfect for fall because their fun colors can perk up your Junction outfit, and they will soon be coming out in maroon and white. Speaking of accessories, McCreary from Deep South Pout disclosed a handy tip for all the ladies out there when it comes to purses.
“Everyone should have a good tote, big enough to fit your cowbell in,” she said.
T-shirts are a thing of the past! Unless you are a little kid getting your face painted, a T-shirt or football jersey is just too casual. There are only seven home games, so finding something to wear should be seen as an opportunity to search for some unique maroon addition to your closest.
I know boys do not see fashion as an important part of the game day experience, but your date will appreciate the effort if you spend a little time buttoning that one button on your polo instead of pulling on that maroon T-shirt you wore the day before on Maroon Friday. The pictures you take will be seen on Facebook for years to come and you need to look presentable.
There are some exceptions to these gameday guidelines if you are a cheerleader, a football player, Bully, in a spirit squad or in the band.
Obviously, if you are part of one of these organizations, you will wear your maroon with pride as you are cheered on by all of the tastefully dressed fans in your student section.
So strut your style with confidence tomorrow with your cowbell in tow. Get your cameras ready!
