Take On The Court In Style: What To Wear To An NBA Game

We’re nearing the end of the NBA season and if you were lucky enough to snag a ticket to the playoffs, you’re probably trying to find the perfect basketball game outfit. Whether you prefer to dress up for the occasion or proudly represent your team in style, we got you covered with slam dunk looks that’ll win both on and off the court.

 

1. Courtside Chic

If you’re not a hardcore fan of either team playing or you’re just going to the game for the vibes (don’t worry, we won’t tell!), then we recommend dressing up for the occasion. Simple yet chic streetwear is a great option, so opt for plain tank paired with baggy jeans, a leather jacket, and kitten heels for a classic game day uniform. Prefer to subtly root for your team in style? Rep your team’s colors with an accent piece like a cropped tee, baseball hat, shoes, or a bag and keep the rest of the fit neutral. Finish off your look with chunky jewelry and you’ll be dressed and ready to go from the arena to post-game drinks.

2. Team Spirit

If you’re rooting for your team loud and proud but still want to look stylish, it’s all about picking the right piece and styling it accordingly. If you opt for your favorite player’s jersey, we recommend an oversized fit layered under a plain tee and paired with baggy jeans or pants for an edgy touch. To elevate the look, wear a slouchy bag and some sporty chic sneakers like the Puma Speedat or Adidas Tokyo in matching colors. Alternatively, add some feminine details like ballet flats or hairbows for a blokette vibe. If you don’t have a jersey, you can’t go wrong with a baseball hat or beanie styled with oversized streetwear.

3. Sporty Streetwear

Love a little bit of both sporty and chic? Incorporate sporty elements into your streetwear look, like a basketball bomber jacket, track pants, chunky sneakers, and rugby shirts, styled with more streamlined pieces like pleated trousers, loafers, plain tees, and leather jackets. For an outfit that really stands out, find vintage NBA pieces with a ‘90s and y2k worn-in vibe on Depop or Ebay. The result? A perfectly, sporty yet elevated outfit that will have you blending in with the rest of the crowd while still showing off your personal style.

4. Coordinated Couple

Going to a basketball game with your significant other? You have the perfect opportunity to coordinate your outfits. Since you’re probably leaning towards a streetwear vibe, wear unisex pieces that can be mixed and matched like baggy jeans, bomber jackets, sweatpants, and oversized t-shirts. Or take a page out of Kylie and Timothée’s recent looks at the Lakers vs. Timberwolves game, staying true to their personal styles—with Kylie wearing a plain tank and leather pants and Timothée wearing a flannel with baggy jeans—while still coordinating on colors.
