Sure, a jersey or some other form of merch, like a T-shirt or hoodie, is the ultimate go-to outfit to wear to a baseball game, football game, or hockey game. But what if your lucky tee is sitting at the bottom of your dirty clothes hamper that day? Or what if you're just there for the hot dogs, beer, and vibes?

Luckily, we gathered 20 outfit ideas for a baseball game that balance sportiness with comfort and, yes, style. Keep scrolling for your perfect ballpark look.

You don’t have to be on the field like honorary Red Sox pitcher Sydney Sweeney to sport an official jersey. Throw on your favorite jean shorts and sneakers, then button up a cropped or oversize jersey and you’re ready to play ball — or at least catch a pop fly in the stands.

Jumpsuits are always a good idea. Pair the one-piece garment with a cropped T-shirt or tank so you can tie the sleeves around your waist as the sun heats up the bleachers. Bonus points for a similarly colored ballcap.

Wearing head-to-toe team garb, complete with face paint and wild wigs or headgear, isn't the only way to make a statement in the stands. A pop of bold color will do the trick, too. Hot pink a la Barbiecore, along with other pink shades, are particularly hot this season, but purple and orange hues are also having a moment.

If you're attending an afternoon baseball game in the summer, bet on it being a scorcher. Your best defense against discomfort in the heat is an easy-breezy outfit that consists of light material, such as linen. Choose either a linen dress or a matching short and tank set for optimal ventilation. The finished look might appear a bit wrinkled, but at least you won't be too warm.

When pulling together your best baseball game outfit, trade any stiff bottoms for something spandex, be it biker shorts or leggings. Flaunt your stretchy waistband by way of a cropped team tee, or throw on a matching sports bra and wear an open jersey over top.

Have a Mini Moment

And no, we're not referring to mouse ears and polka dots (though that's definitely a mood). Mini and micro-mini hems are everywhere right now, so if your baseball game outfit is also a date night outfit, use Kylie Jenner's minidress as inspiration. To make it athletic-appropriate, don a tank top mini and go full '90s grunge by tying a lightweight flannel around your waist. Not only will the pairing look cute, but you'll also have an extra layer of clothing should the summer breeze bring an unwanted chill.
