In Baton Rouge, football is more than just a game. It’s a full-on celebration of Louisiana life.
We put a whole lot of thought into the food we prepare, the atmosphere we create at our tailgates and the clothes we wear on gameday.
225 made the rounds before a couple recent games to ask locals how they choose their gameday looks.
Hailey Copeland, 18 (L), LSU student
Wearing: Romper from Hemline, Steve Madden sandals, Ray-Ban sunglasses, Louis Vuitton wallet and PacSun choker
Her gameday style: “I kind of just go with what I find or how the weather is.”
Natalie Sanders, 18 (R), LSU student
Wearing: Tank top from Virgo boutique, yellow skirt from Posh boutique, mule shoes from Apricot Lane, Tory Burch sunglasses and Michael Kors watch
Her gameday style: “Anything that I find purple and gold that I consider to be stylish.”
Bianca Vinning, 18 (L), Southern University student
Wearing: Tank top from Southern University and A&M College Bookstore, Aeropostale denim shorts, white sandals received as a gift and Charming Charlie earrings
Her gameday style: “My go-to gameday style is just to pop. You see the glittery top? When the sun hits it, it just makes you glow.”
Angel Landor, 19 (R), Southern University student
Wearing: Tank top from Southern University and A&M College Bookstore, shorts thrifted from Purple Cow that she distressed herself, Under Armour socks and Converse sneakers
Her gameday style: “I tend to wear loose clothing … I wear a lot of jerseys and stuff for gamedays.”

Wearing: Top, skort, clear purse and earrings from Posh boutique, Krewe du Optic sunglasses, LC Lauren Conrad boots, Fitbit watch and Lily and Laura bracelet

Nicholas Clark, 19, LSU student

His gameday style: “I try not to wear the same gameday shirt every game day, so it’s different every time.
Isabel Rountree, 21, LSU student
Wearing: Forever 21 dress, The Boot Store shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, Michael Kors watch, Pandora bracelet and rings from Mignon Faget
Her gameday style: “I want to be different than the rest of the other girls that are out there, but kind of have a fun hipster vibe going on—but not too out there. Kind of keep it between the preppy and the hipster look, because I bridge that gap really every time I dress.”
Gigi Fisher, 26, Healthcare worker and Southern University fan
Wearing: Forever 21 shirt, H&M jeans, Call It Spring sandals, Apple Watch, Ray-Ban sunglasses and necklaces from Call It Spring
