For instance, deciding what to wear to a baseball game is a task that requires a full checklist. You want something comfortable and weather-appropriate that maybe includes team colors. But at the same time, you don't want to sacrifice personal style. 15 Accessory Tricks That Will Transform All of Your Simple Summer Outfits Choosing what to wear to a baseball game does tend to be a no-brainer for die-hard sports fans who want to show support for their team. 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, hockey game, etc. But what if your lucky tee is sitting at the bottom of your dirty clothes hamper that day? Or you're not exactly a fan of the sport, but rather a fan of the sporting event experience? You're in it for a day in the stands with friends, surrounded by excitable energy and enjoying a ballpark hot dog (because, truly, they're the best kind). Is there a balance? Something that's cute and practical, that maybe mixes in team gear in a casual, laid-back sort of way? Of course there is. And using street style as inspiration, we found 15 great ideas to get you started. "Flossing" Is the Shockingly Sexy Summer Trend That Has Nothing to Do With Teeth 01 of 18 Rock a Team Shirt — With a Twist Getty Images Use your favorite sweatshirt or tee to embrace the preppy academia trend by styling it with a pleated skirt. 02 of 18 Take It Easy Getty Images If you're looking for something that's throw-on-and-go, yet still feels a tad more exciting than your typical jeans, why not slip into a jumpsuit? Then, if you're looking to add team colors to the mix, incorporate a neck scarf or shoes that include those specific shades. 03 of 18 Embrace Bright Colors at the Ballpark Getty Images 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.

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. 05 of 18 Athleisure Is Always a Go Getty Images 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. 06 of 18 Break Out a Breezy Dress Getty Images To keep from feeling too fancy for an outdoor event, finish your outfit with casual footwear, such as sneakers or lug-sole boots.

Wear your favorite one-piece in lieu of a bodysuit and you'll be ready to hit the pool after an afternoon roasting in the stands. 08 of 18 Double Up On Denim Getty Images While not as groundbreaking as it used to be, a jean jacket and denim bottoms of your choice is still a bold, unexpected mix for a baseball game. Plus, if the pieces already live in your closet, it's easy enough to pull together in a flash. RELATED: 17 Jeans for Women That Are Actually Worth Buying 09 of 18 Have a Mini Moment Getty Images 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. 10 of 18 Slip On a Sweater Dress Getty Images This no-fuss outfit idea will keep you nice and warm during those chilly fall games, and sweater dresses also look great with a baseball cap. 11 of 18 Add an Extra Layer Getty Images If your combination of jeans and a simple sweatshirt feels a bit too 'meh' at first, a vest will work to spice things up. It's also a practical choice for in-between temperatures.

Dress down your favorite mini skirt with a causal tee, chunky socks, and sneakers before completing the look with an everyday jacket in case the temperature takes a dip. This one will take you from the game to a dinner date afterwards. 13 of 18 Go Beyond Denim Getty Images In 2022, casual pants options are aplenty. Style your tee or tank with baggy black trousers, track pants, or sweats, all of which will give your baseball game outfit an Off-Duty, fashion girl twist. 14 of 18 Pull Things Together With a Playful Jacket Getty Images A leather blazer, shacket, or even a chunky cardigan can be the one piece that pulls together your game-day outfit, making it feel elevated yet chill. 15 of 18 Pair Denim With Leather Getty Images We love a material mashup, especially when it involves denim and leather. Take a page out of Hailey Bieber and Wynona Ryder's playbook and pair short denim bottoms with an oversized leather jacket for a cool night game. 16 of 18 Elevate Your Loungewear Getty Images If you're looking for a light layer, go with a solid button-down, which will polish off a loose-fitting ensemble while still keeping it comfy.
