What to Wear: Snow Day

Brrrrrrr…if you’re on the East Coast right now you’ve probably just experienced several inches of snow and below freezing temperatures. Don’t let that snow day get in the way of your daily routine! Although most of us will probably be sticking indoors if we can help it, those of you who need to go outdoors just need to dress correctly. Pile on the layers! Make sure to wear long underwear like Uniqlo Heattech of Under Armour, then put on a thick shirt and pants — flannel and corduroy will do. Don’t forget to put on warm wools socks, insulated boots and warm parka. Most important of all, have all your accessories ready to go! A warm hat, gloves and scarf can mean all the difference between staying warm and freezing. If all else fails, you can always go for one of those self-heating hand warmers.

Cold weather game day outfits: What to wear to a football game when it’s freezing
These cold weather game day outfits will keep you warm all football season
A group of tailgaters enjoying the party.

As the summer begins to fade away into fall, we start getting hyped for the baseball playoffs and the start of the college football and NFL seasons. While you may be excited to watch your favorite teams in person, tailgating with friends and screaming at the referees, the weather doesn't always cooperate. Just a few weeks into the season, some stadiums experience downright frigid fall weather and only get colder as the winter settles in. By halfway through the season, fans in many stadiums are battling icy conditions and struggling to stay warm for the whole game. That is why ensuring you have only the best and most effective cold-weather game-day outfits is important.

Here is the trick to nailing the right outfit: mastering the art of layering. While you will be extremely cold sometimes, you are around upwards of 50,000 people, and the temps could elevate with all that body heat. Therefore, once you get the base layer set up with the all-powerful henley and jeans, it is on to the outer layer. Here is what you should be wearing at the stadium this fall.
