Super Bowl Outfit Ideas for Game Day
It's time the couch saw you with real pants on.
Full disclosure: I have no idea what anyone is doing for the Super Bowl this year. Whatever your game day plan, the best part of the Super Bow is everything that surrounds it, IMHO. Snacks. The halftime show. The cultural conversation around commercials. And yes: Cute outfits that aren't too on the nose. That's the part we're here to help with. Outfits that look like you tried—and aren't the same old sweats you've been wearing since last March—but not too hard. Also? When game day is over, these outfits still slap for other occasions, too. Each one strikes the perfect tone of dressy, not fancy, and comfy, not sloppy. What more do you want in a 'fit? That's what I thought.
Aside from the excitement of watching the game itself, the Super Bowl is always an excellent excuse to a) get together with friends, b) eat wings and nachos, and c) look good while doing both. Not all Super Bowl outfits are created equally, but these six options, ahead, fit the bill for any type of vibe you're looking for—whether you're cheering on your favorite team or really just here for the commericals.
Shine On
This year, the the Buccaneers and the Chiefs are playing. Both of their colors are red/maroon. Don't own a single maroon item? Try topping an all-black body suit with a shiny puffer in your team's tone, and rep quietly and with dignity.

Team Spirit
Everyone will be wearing logo tees—and so will you! Only yours shouts out the one and only Anine Bing, not a fictional pirate or a potentially problematic chief. You could also swap the tee with any other in your repertoire, and pair it with a cozy overshirt, low-slung mules and washed-out denim. The look says I care—mostly about fashion and comfort, but also football and touchdowns.

Sweatsuit Nation
You've spent a year in matching sets—why stop now? A dusty lavender ensemble paired with a cream-toned Carhartt hat and cheery sneaks is supremely appropriate for half-time shows, snack sessions, and first downs alike.

Cozy With a Twist
A statement fleece—like this neon-trimmed one from Tory Burch—is a great way to care without sacrificing cozy. Paired with destroyed denim and smart booties, you're good to cheer or to slay.

Express Heeled Booties
Neutral Knows Best
Not rooting for the Buccs or the Chiefs, but still down to snack and enjoy the commercials? This cozy ivory ensemble is just the ticket. Cashmere pairs with sherpa-lined booties for a snuggle down 'fit that's somehow still chic.
