With a big game day ahead of you, how to style a sports jersey might be the last thing on your mind. But finding the perfect outfit to cheer on your favorite team, whether in the bleachers or at home, just adds to the excitement of the moment. There’s no better way to rep your favorite athlete than wearing their numbers or support your team by donning their colors.
To learn the ins and outs of game day dressing, we went to a pro: WAG and fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk has dressed famous stars like Taylor Swift and Simone Biles, and is also regularly seen stylishly supporting her husband, San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, from the stands. Over Super Bowl 2025 weekend, the designer unveiled the premiere collection of her sports apparel line Off Season, created in collaboration with the NFL Players Association and in partnership with Good American co-founder Emma Grede, at House of Verizon in New Orleans.
We got the chance to catch up with Juszczyk at her first-ever physical showcase of Off Season and asked her all about how to style a sports jersey, subtly repping your team, and other fashion tips for sports lovers — and we also got the exclusive opportunity to be styled by Juszczyk in one of her viral puffers.
Styling a jersey can be a daunting feat, given their shape and material tends to be quite different from our everyday clothes. However, with a few trusty hacks, you can seamlessly blend your jersey into your personal style as if it were just another item in your wardrobe. Below, hear the best styling hacks for sports apparel from expert Kristin Juszczyk.
How to style a jersey
“First, accessorize always. That's my biggest tip. Doesn't matter what you're wearing; you throw on earrings, necklaces, it always makes you feel more elevated,” Juszczyk says. “And then you gotta elevate it with some shoes.”
Juszczyk showed us a select rolling rack of her puffer vests and jackets, pointing out their high-quality details: corduroy lining, four inner and outer deep zipped pockets, and silicone and embroidered patches and appliqués for unique texture. "I know it's hot [here in New Orleans]," Juszczyk said as she selected a puffer to style us in. “So we're gonna have to stick with a vest. Let's get you in the Kelce!” And just like that, we had an elevated look for fickle temperatures.
How to DIY your own merch
When it comes to DIY merch and hacks, the possibilities are endless. So, Juszczyk says: “I would suggest going and looking at [any and] all videos. There's so much you can do. Even if you don't have a sewing machine, grab scissors. There's so much you can do with cutting it up, splicing and dicing. So go on YouTube, look at some videos. You never know what you can find. And there are some easy things that don't involve a sewing machine.”
How to make your jersey more fitted
If you'd like to change the silhouette of your sports merch, Juszczyk has a clever hack she always relies on. “I personally love to tuck in my jerseys, whether that's tucking it into my pants, tucking it into my bra. That's one of my favorite tips,” the designer shared. But if that's not for you, don't worry. “You can add a belt to it. You could also sew on some clasps on the sides, and then bring a string and pull it and cinch it into the waist.”
How to rep your team subtly
“Everyone's style is different, fashion is of course very subjective. You can want to go out in a very loud piece," Juszczyk says, "[But] if you wanted something subtle, I would say you can either put a little appliqué of maybe the team name or the [player] number, or even you can do it with jewelry, rep with something tiny and small, but it's really whatever your style is.”
