How to dress for an LSU game

Gameday in Baton Rouge, LA usually means heat, especially early in the season, so build around breathable pieces and save the hoodie for night games and the cooler weeks late in the year.

• Early-season day game: Keep it light and breathable, and add a hat to block the sun. Wear: LSU Essentials Oversized Tee, LSU Varsity Mesh Shorts, LSU Tigers Camo Hat.
• Night game or late season: Throw a layer on top once the sun goes down. Wear: LSU x Upside Hoodie, LSU Varsity Mesh Shorts.
• Everyday on campus: Easy pieces for class, weekends and travel. Wear: LSU Essentials Oversized Tee, LSU Tigers Camo Hat.

LSU tailgate essentials

Tailgates are long, so comfort matters as much as color. Mesh shorts are the easiest piece to live in all day, an oversized tee layers over anything, and a hat handles sun and bad hair days alike. If the game runs late, toss the hoodie in the car.

Why the LSU logo is upside down
