9 Pieces for a Baseball Date

It’s baseball season again, but it’s not quite warm enough for summer wear.  If you’ll be heading to the park, the key is to dress in layers.

Wear a pretty top, but make sure you have a warm coat to layer over.  Keep your sunglasses handy, but also wear a fashionable hat to keep your head warm.  And that doesn’t mean a baseball cap girls!  A pair of shortie boots are practical and can keep your feet warm.  Mix up some quality pieces with casual wear for a chic outdoor look.

Here are my 9 selections for a chilly spring game:

Start with a comfy pair of jeans, like these Harper Vintage Boyfriend Jeans, and then to with a brightly colored top, this one from Vivienne Westwood.  The glamour grunge combination says that while you take your baseball seriously, you still care about looking good.

A jacket is a must, and this French Connection military jacket is close fitting and can keep you warm without looking frumpy.  Nine West Shoe Boots are practical and will keep your feet warm while still giving you a lean look with a bit of a heel.

It’s still cold out there, so you’ll need a scarf (this one from Helmut Lang).  If it’s plenty warm, you can tie in around the handle of your tote (Faux Leather Metro Handbag) or tuck it inside.  And that tote should be big enough to carry home that foul ball that you’re sure to catch!  Keep your head warm with a Buffalo Plaid Hat (NO baseball caps allowed), and be sure to have your sunglasses (Dita Supadupa Sunglasses) in your tote in case the sun shines through.

Keep jewelry to a minimum, as too much and you’ll just look silly, but a great pair of hoops (Stella McCartney) always completes an outfit.

You’ll notice that I’ve kept with dark colors.  Since so many stadium are a little rough around the edges when it comes to seating, and you never know what the kid next to you is going to do with the mustard on his hotdog, so I’d opt for dark colors that allow you to look great and the game, and go out for a drink after.
