Dressing Up for Football Games
To most people, a football game means jeans, sneakers, and a team jersey. But in the South, particularly around college football powerhouses, game day is a fashion show. Women show up in dresses and cowboy boots. Men wear polos, khakis, and sometimes ties in school colors. Tailgating feels like a wedding reception with coolers. This isn’t casual fandom, it’s social tradition with a side of competition. Outsiders in hoodies and ball caps often feel wildly underdressed. Southern football is as much about pride and community identity as it is about the sport itself. And yes, appearance matters.
