Selecting what to wear poses a particular challenge for women on game day. Whether you are cheering on our boys at your favorite bar or lucky enough to have Saints tickets you’ll probably want to show support by donning black and gold. The trouble lies in keeping with the colors while maintaining your personal style. Fear not, because many local designers have heeded the call and are offering fashion forward pieces that look good both on and off the sidelines.
Hometown favorites Jolie and Elizabeth‘s Fall 2010 collection centers around beautifully made dresses that are worthy of dinner at Commander’s Palace or tailgating at Champions Square. The added bonus is this featured piece is reversible so if you spill a Superdome Bloody Mary on your frock you can still wear it. Their designs are also available in LSU colors.
