Tennessee Game Day Outfits to Cheer on the Vols

There is nothing quite like a fall Saturday in Knoxville. The whole town turns orange, the Vol Navy fills the river, and more than 100,000 fans pack Neyland Stadium to watch Tennessee football. The right game day outfit makes the day even better, and it should carry you from the tailgate to the final whistle. Josie's gameday collection makes it easy to put together a full look in one stop, whether it's a noon kickoff or a night game under the lights.

Here is how to build Tennessee game day outfits that look cute, feel good through four quarters, and still earn a spot in your closet once football season winds down.

Start With the Right Base Layer

Every gameday outfit starts with one hero piece. For a warm early-season home game, a lightweight gameday dress or a two-piece set keeps you cool while you walk campus in the heat. A graphic tee is an easy option when you want comfort and team spirit in one piece. Knot it with denim shorts for a tailgate, or tuck it into a skirt when you want to dress it up. Josie's gameday tops and gameday dresses both come in Vols orange and white, so you can build around whichever piece matches your gameday mood.

Want a full look with zero coordinating? A gameday romper or a two-piece set does the matching for you. One piece and you are ready to meet up with friends and head toward the stadium.

Dress for the Weather

Tennessee's schedule runs from warm September afternoons to chilly November nights, so the smart move is dressing for the forecast and the kickoff time. A noon home game in early fall calls for breathable fabrics. A night home game later in the season is the perfect time for a cozy sweater.

Matching your outfit to the day is simple once you know the pattern. For a warm afternoon kickoff, reach for a gameday dress, a romper, or a graphic tee with shorts. A mild evening game works well with an oversized tee and denim, layered under a light cardigan you can pull on when the sun goes down. For a cold late-season home game, an orange sweater, a sweatshirt, or a crewneck with jeans and boots keeps you warm in the stands. If Rocky Top gets a rainy Saturday, water-friendly booties and a Tennessee orange jacket will save your look.

An orange sweater is a chilly gameday favorite. It photographs beautifully against the stadium backdrop, and it doubles as everyday wear once the games are over. Josie's gameday sweaters and gameday sweatshirts have comfy sweaters in Tennessee's team colors that feel as good as they look. When the wind picks up in the stands, you will be glad you layered.

Stadium Friendly Bags

Neyland Stadium runs a clear bag policy, and knowing it ahead of time saves you a headache at security. According to the University of Tennessee, fans may bring one clear plastic bag no larger than 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches or a small clutch no bigger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches.

Clear bags are not much of a fashion statement on their own, so Josie's carries stadium-approved bags and straps that meet the rules and still look cute. A clear stadium bag holds your phone, keys, and lip gloss without slowing you down at the gate. Clip on a fun strap, and you have the perfect Vols gameday accessory.

Add Accessories with Volunteer Pride

Accessories turn a good gameday outfit into a great one. Team-color earrings, a beaded necklace, or a Power T charm add school spirit without competing with the rest of your look. Josie's gameday jewelry and gameday hair accessories cover the finishing touches, from bows to buttons.

Don't forget about the shoes. Gameday footwear you can actually walk in makes the difference between cheering all four quarters and counting down to the end. Sneakers keep a warm-weather look casual, and a Tennessee cowboy boot dresses up a game day dress once the temperature drops. Either way, comfort keeps you on your feet when the Vols need noise.

Gameday for the Littlest Fan

Bringing a future Vol to their first home game is an unforgettable experience. Josie's gameday youth collection has orange and white for the littlest fan, so your whole crew matches for kickoff.
