Do tie a side knot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oversized sports jerseys may be cozy, but without the proper styling they can look like a garbage sack. And that’s not the best look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there’s an easy fix. You can create some feminine curves by gathering up the excess fabric into a cute side knot. Keep the rest of your outfit casual with a pair of denim shorts and flat sandals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t wear a jersey as crop top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While showing a bit of skin is fine in my book, you don\u2019t want to overdo it. Leave the cropped jerseys that show off your abs to the cheer squad. Keep the jersey as is or take note of my last tip and go with a side knot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do layer a jersey with long sleeves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Layering is another trick to add definition to an otherwise-baggy top. Opt for a form-fitting long-sleeved t-shirt in crisp white or another color that complements the jersey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or dress up your jersey with a turtleneck topped with a lightweight blazer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t choose baggy bottoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What you wear with your favorite jerseys can make or break your outfit. Skip baggy bottoms and overalls in favor of fitted jeans, leggings, or denim shorts. Or, pick up a form-fitting jersey \u2014 the type that’s specifically designed for women \u2014 and pair it with a high-waist pencil skirt for a more polished look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do go casual with the hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter how much you dress it up, baseball jerseys\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> will always be casual. Stick to the theme by choosing a low-key hairstyle. A pony tail or messy bun are good choices that also have minimum prep time. If you\u2019re hurrying to get out the door, throw on a baseball hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t wear heels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unless you want<\/em> to look pretentious \u2014 which is perfectly fine for certain occasions \u2014 don\u2019t wear heels. Use your sports-themed outfit as an excuse to wear comfy footwear. Tennis shoes, flat sandals, or sneakers are great options for game day, or any day of the week when you\u2019re out shopping or running errands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last tip is the most important one: don\u2019t overthink it. Whether you’re into the NBA, NHL, NFL or, heck, even the MLS,  the jersey is still a comfy, casual piece. Enjoy that side of it by keeping things low maintenance on game day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
