Day 33
The Super Bowl Edition
With a viewing audience of over 100 million, the Super Bowl
is a super-big day for avid sports fans as well as those looking for a party. I
read that the average number of guests at a Super Bowl party is 17 (I can’t
confirm this but it sounds about right). Whether you are in it for the game,
the commercials ($3.5 million is the cost for a 30 second ad!) or just for the
party, you will still have to decide, “What do I wear to a Super Bowl party?”
The easy answer is to run out and purchase over-priced, licensed
apparel featuring a team you will only support on this single day since, chances
are, your favorite team is not one of the final two. This is not an option for
me this year (sigh …) but it’s no reason to abandon the theme of the day. Let’s
use what we already have to celebrate in style!
Professional sports teams have official colors (yay!). The
New York Giants have dedicated dark blue, red, white and gray as their palette.
The New England Patriots claim Nautical Blue, red, New Century Silver and
white. This information is from a site called ColorWerx and I have no idea why
New England is so specific with their hues. In any case, we can attend any
Super Bowl function stylishly, yet non-committal-ly since the palettes are
basically the same!
Jeans (blue, white or even red) will be an easy foundation.
Add a festive red sweater or silver sparkle top with a red scarf. I combed
through my closet and found my 4 potential Super Bowl looks for this year. It was easy and fun! So don’t rush out and
waste your money on yet another team t-shirt, shop your closet and goooooooo
team!
We did say SUPER, right?
