Longhorn Wear

It is my opinion that the population of The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates an elite level of support for their sports teams. The Longhorns players always seem to draw an extremely large crowd of supporters decked out in burnt orange gear.

This is a photo of my friends Madeline, Jayne, Aubrey, Lauren, Rachael, and myself before attending a UT Football game 2011. 

I’ve attended a copious amount of UT sporting events and I’ve taken note of appropriate fashions donned at each of them. There are trends that remain consistent throughout the seasons, like the obvious burnt orange color or the always-appropriate cowboy boots, but each season, and therefore each sporting event, has different styles associated with them.

Football season, no doubt a fan favorite, brings out the most spirit in Longhorn fans. For summer and early fall games, girls should wear something like burnt orange skirts with a nice white blouse or a white skirt with a burnt orange top. Accessories are always appropriate!! My favorite color for these accessories is a beautiful turquoise. I love the Danielle earrings by Kendra Scott! I always see so many girls rocking them with their outfits. For late fall and winter games, blouses should consist of more material and skirts should be swapped out for jeans! Keep the accessories the same.

Cowboy boots are always a must! Guys and girls look fabulous in a good pair and the boots really evokes a sense of Texas state pride. Allen’s Boots on South Congress offers a great selection of boots for males and females for very reasonable prices. I recommend checking it out! If you’re interested in spending a little more money on a higher quality pair of boots, check out the Lucchese Cowboy Boots line.

Basketball season usually means chillier weather for fans. Gals, grab your skinny jeans, sweaters and your burnt orange Pashmina scarves. This way you’ll still stay warm on your trek to the arena and still be able to represent your beloved Longhorns. Cowboy boots are still entirely acceptable, but riding boots or wedges also look great with skinny jeans! Steve Madden is my favorite shoe designer and I can always find exactly what I’m looking for in the stores.

The weather gets a little warmer for baseball season, so fashionistas can leave their scarves and jeans in the closet for games. The wonderful weather makes it possible to break out the springtime white. I love seeing girls wearing the eye-catching white shorts or white jeans with orange tops. The white color is crisp and refreshing and looks good on everyone.

Go Longhorns!! –Love, the fashionistas in the stands displaying our Longhorn pride in our burnt orange Ella Moss tops and J Brand or Pleasure Doing Business bottoms.
