Saturdays in Baton Rouge call for purple and gold. Whether you're tailgating on the Parade Ground, heading into Tiger Stadium for a night game, or cheering from a watch party, these LSU gameday outfit ideas from Frock Candy cover every kind of look, from comfy to full sparkle.
1. Start with a purple dress or matching set
A purple dress is the easiest LSU gameday outfit: one piece and you're done. The You Know the Way Contrast Stitch Overall Mini Dress is 100% cotton, which helps on warm early-season Saturdays. Prefer separates? The More Than a Feeling Polka Dot Tube Top and matching mini skirt make a purple set you can also wear apart. For cooler games, layer the Icon Energy Knit Tiger Head Rhinestone Vest by Queen of Sparkles in purple and gold.
2. Go bold with tiger print
Tiger print says Geaux Tigers without a logo. Pair the On the Ready Tiger Print Denim Collared Crop Top with the matching pleated flare shorts for a full set, or wear the tiger print denim vest as a top. When the weather cools off, the All in Order Tiger Print Straight Leg Jeans work with a purple or gold top.
3. Add sparkle for Saturday night
Night games under the lights are made for sequins. The Tigers All Together Vintage Mike Sequin Tank by Bomb Designs features a sequin Mike the Tiger on a lavender tank. The Ready to Win Sequin Football Top in Mustard is an oversized cotton top that pairs with jeans or a skirt, and the Jeweled Football Tee by Queen of Sparkles is a white tee that goes with any team color.
4. Finish with boots
Boots are a gameday staple in Louisiana. The Uptown Cowgirl Knee Boots in Off White go with every outfit above, and the Royal Beauty Western Boots in Gold bring the gold to your purple and gold. If you'll be on your feet all day, choose a heel you can walk and stand in.
5. Accessorize in purple and gold
- Earrings: the Tiger Love Drop Earrings and LSU Love Beaded Earrings by Taylor Shaye are beaded in purple and gold.
- Scarf: tie the Loud and Clear LSU Tiger Head Twilly Scarf on your bag strap, in your hair or around your neck.
- Gameday buttons: pin a Geaux Tigers Gameday Button, the Lane Train Tiger Stripe Button or I'm Only Here For The Tailgate on your dress or bag. Browse all of them in our gameday buttons collection.
- Glitter: Midas Touch Glitter Balm by Elektra Cosmetics adds gold stars for a finishing touch.
6. Know the Tiger Stadium bag rules
Tiger Stadium has a clear bag policy. According to LSU Athletics, fans may bring a clear tote no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag, or a small clutch no larger than 4.5" x 6.5". Policies can change, so check LSU's page before you go.
Our Essentials Only Clear Bag in Purple measures 4.5" x 8" x 2.5", within the clear bag size limit, with clear and gold straps. Add a beaded bag strap to make it your own.
7. Dress for the weather
September games in Baton Rouge are often hot and humid, so cotton and linen dresses, sets and tanks keep you comfortable. By November, layer a vest, sweater or jeans. Our gameday sweatshirts and lounge sets are made for chilly nights and watch parties.
