Help! My Boyfriend Plays Professional Baseball and I Don't Know What to Wear!!

by Madeline
(CA)

I need some affordable fashionable casual night and day outfits to wear at his baseball games. I am 23, 5'2", hourglass shape figure and a heart shaped face.

My boyfriend plays minor league baseball for a living. Unfortunalty doesn't make that much money. I used to be an event planner before I met him. I was a big party girl and had a wardrobe to match. Unfortunatly, due to his lifestyle I had to quit my job.

I usually have to work 3 random jobs just to stay even. Since my life has changed I feel like I have lost my style.

Please help me the best you can.

How to Look Fashionable at Baseball Games On a Budget

Madeline,

creds to you for being such a great girlfriend :) I know how difficult it can be to stay stylish with your lifestyle, however there are several ways to look fashionable without having a lump sum of money.

If you already have some of the wardrobe essentials you'll be able to create different outfits without having to buy lots of new things.

First of all when it comes to dressing for a basebal game event, remember to avoid wearing anything fancy because you'll be over-dressed compared to the rest. So drop the sleek trousers, heels, lots of blingey jewelry, etc.

Your should aim for a casual-chic look consisting of jeans, comfortable shoes and a simple top/tank/sweater. You could even wear your home team's t-shirt, but if you're not comfortable looking like a living billboard, opt for plain tees and tops.





According to your description you're a petite and have an hourglass body shape. An hourglass shape is considered ideal and attractive. You might want to focus on emphasizing your beautiful curves. For your petite frame I suggest you streamline your outfit with dark colors so that you'll look taller.

Let me get into further details:

Bottom

Definitely jeans. Be it dark wash, light wash, black jeans, shredded, distressed, acid wash. As long as they look casual. They look appropriate for this type of event.


Bullhead Jeans - Womens - Solana Extreme Skinny Rinsed Indigo Jeans

Denim and black cotton leggings would also work but you need to pair them with a tunic shirt or a long top (I would personally wear it with an oversized sweatshirt) Make sure it covers your butt when bending forward.

Top

A really good look would be a combo of skinny jeans and a loose fitted top, tank or sweat. Go for a low V or U-neck. It looks trendy yet casual. Fitted tees complement loose-fitted jeans (you should definitely try boyfriend jeans). Loose-fitted jeans are trendy but make sure they're slightly fitted around the hip-butt area to keep your style looking feminine.

For the evenings, wrap a skinny or wide belt around the waist to accentuate your waist.

Keep yourself warm with a hoodie, drapey or a boyfriend cardigan.

Shoes


Sneakers are good to wear for your boyfriend's baseball games. Now I'm not talking about Nike Shox or anything, but a slimmer style such as Keds (plimsoll/canvas shoes) or low-cut Converse sneakers with a thinner sole to complement your petite frame.

If you're not a sneaker-girl, flat ballerinas or flat ankle boots will do. Just make sure they're simple looking.

... And add whatever accessories you like! A little bit of your personality make your outfit a lot more exciting.

Flashy chain and glitzy jewelry would look too fancy at baseball games, so you might want to stick to leather and bead bracelets. They're cheaper too.

Keep your hand free with a small cross body bag, it's much more convenient than oversized leather bags.

Go comfy because games are long :)

Hope this helps.

Have fun, baseball games are awesome!

Sincerely,

Fantastic!

I was about to ask a question here, regarding more or less the same topic of casual dressing. Funnily enough, I am also 5"2 and of an hourglass shape, and Madeline's question here saved me from having to ask a question also. Thanks to the two of you.
