Admittedly, football isn’t my forté — or sports in general, for that matter. I prefer to spend my Sunday nights prepping for the week ahead — you know, ordering Chinese takeout and doing mass amounts of laundry. However, there are a few sports-related traditions that I can get behind. First off, there’s the food. Any party where you can get pizza, chips, dips, cocktail weenies and wings all in one place is a win-win (a touchdown?) in my book. And then, of course, there’s the clothes.
Watching sports — especially when it’s a social event — requires a very specific outfit recipe. You want to be comfortable, but cute, all while supporting your team of choice. And with Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching (February 3rd at 6:30pm to be exact), it’s about time that formula gets perfected. Whether you’re Team Pats (more like Team Brady), or Team Rams, we’ve rounded up 12 Super Bowl party options that’ll have you showing off your sporty side at this Sunday’s festivities, mega fan or not.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
For The Fashion Friend Who’ll Make Any Theme Look Chic
Any excuse to put together a cute outfit (even one with a theme) is good with you. You’re not overly sporty while heading to dinner with friends or stopping by your favorite shop post-game, but you have managed to subtly show some team spirit. Nice work!

For The Mega Fan
If you’re a native of either Los Angeles or Boston, this Sunday is probably a big deal for you. And just because you can’t be screaming for your respective team alongside the 100,000+ like-minded fans at the actual game, that doesn’t mean you should tone down the enthusiasm at your local Super Bowl party.

For The +1 Who’d Rather Be In Bed
You, like me, were dead set on staying home this Sunday night, bingeing on the new season of Grace & Frankie and avoiding the cold weather for as long as physically possible. But alas, here you are, trying to figure out what one wears to a Super Bowl party. Our answer: keep it cozy and simple with elevated loungewear, but be sure to pick a team — nobody likes a totally neutral sports-watcher.
