How to look dashing at a sports event

Attending sports events is about more than being a spectator – it’s about being seen. Hundreds of people will gather, be it at a track or a pitch, to watch and discuss the likely winner. But amidst these discussions, one thing that will attract your attention is the variety of outfits that men and women wear. Everyone tries to look more stylish than the other and it’s this competition that brings out the best fashion sense in everyone.

If you are thinking of what to wear at your next sporting event, this guide will help you.

What should women wear?

Women should follow a simple rule: dress to impress. Pick up anything that makes you look classy. Think of what you would wear to a spring fair. Of course, don’t turn up with hot pants and tank top. Try wearing dresses with floral prints. Most importantly, pick out light pastel colours. Don’t wear anything too dark or contrasting.

Also, go for minimal makeup. Remember, you are not attending a fashion show. Plus, it will be daytime when you arrive. With the sun over your head, the makeup may start to melt. Therefore, try to put on less makeup to avoid reaching your handbag and touching up frequently. Moreover, you should also keep an eye on accessories. Don’t wear just anything that you have in your jewellery box – and don’t overdo it. Remember, it’s better not to wear anything on your neck if you wear earrings and bracelets.

What should men wear?

While women may have a variety of dressing options, men don’t. You should strictly stick to two styles only: wear formals or wear your golf course attire. Sticking to lightweight, light coloured suits makes more sense because almost everyone wears one. Deep shades are not so popular.

On the other hand, if you don’t want to follow the crowd, wear your golf course attire. A light-coloured, collared t-shirt and formal trousers will make you stand out. Remember, pastel tones are the order of the day, whatever you are wearing. Also, don’t forget to put your shades on. Although you don’t need to think about makeup, you wouldn’t want the sun to blind you as the event gets underway.

Sporting etiquettes

Apart from wearing appropriate outfits, you should also keep a few etiquettes in mind. Nothing looks worse than someone who has no idea what they are doing, and nothing looks more impressive than an air of confidence that says: I belong here. Secondly, don’t block the view of the people behind you. It’s okay to shout and cheer but try to stay in your seat instead of jumping up and down.

Now that you know what to wear and what to do at sporting events, start picking out your outfits from today so that you don’t have to make last-minute changes.
