Game Days are the best days at the University of Minnesota. Given the fact that most of us don’t even go to the games, having the perfect game day ensemble is definitely essential. If this means purchasing some Gopheralls that are only $54.99 from the University of Minnesota Bookstore, or getting cute maroon and gold bows from American Apparel, looking chic for Game Day is a must.
Here are some awesome options for how you can look great for the rest of this football season.
Bookstore vs. Goldy’s Locker Room
If you shop at the right times, there is always a deal happening at the University of Minnesota Bookstore. If you want to find something a little cuter for game day you can always hit up Goldy’s Locker Room. Although it is slightly more pricey, it has a little different of a selection if you want to stand out a little bit from other game day participants. Goldy’s Locker Room carries brands such as 47brand, which is really high quality and adds a more chic twist to your game day wardrobe.
Search for maroon
Maroon is actually very trendy right now, which is super convenient because maroon and gold are our colors. Maroon is great for fall and having maroon apparel will take you far with your wardrobe and your game day options. Investing in maroon Converse is a must; these are really cute and comfortable and can be worn for game day or just going to class.
Hair pieces
Bows/ribbons/hats will also take you a long way. If you wake up for game day and your hair looks ridiculous, you can put on one of your many maroon and gold Minnesota hats and look great. If you’re feeling peppy you can put in a bow or a ribbon to complete your game day look.
Maroon fanny packs
Fanny packs are literally my new favorite thing. If you’re ever wondering where you should put your phone/credit card/keys etc., a maroon fanny pack is absolutely perfect, and the solution to all your problems. These are very trendy as well as practical and will help keep your valuables safe during game day.
Layers
Given that we live in Minnesota, it’s very important to wear layers to games in case it suddenly starts snowing or raining or gets really nice. For example, it’s really cute to wear a Minnesota shirt with a maroon and gold flannel around your waist; if needed you can put your flannel on or leave it around your waist as a fashion statement. Then regardless of the temperature, you can do Game Day in style.
