When we've seen the likes of Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner make their way to a Lakers or Nets game, 9/10 times they've chosen to swap the classic jersey for a regular outfit. Why, you ask? They've just forgotten how to make it look cool again. Whether it's during the Super Bowl, a basketball game, or really anytime you feel like reppin' your favorite teams, here's your reminder looking chic and rocking a jersey aren't mutually exclusive—proof from these five looks below.

1. A Pair of Cutoffs
