Sideline Fashion

Of course your kids are looking sharp on the field all suited up in their football and soccer uniforms, but how are you looking on the sidelines?

No matter what team it is or where you're cheering (NC, VA, NY or CT), everyone needs the same things when it comes to sideline fashion: comfortable, practical and stylish attire. My number one sideline pick for this time of year is down. Nothing matches down's warmth and light weight. After getting all the kid's gear in the car and on the field, the last thing anyone wants is something else heavy to lug around. Down is light and packable and keeps everyone warm when the October chill hits. All my down jackets and vests come in great colors, so you will look and feel good, on the field or off.

One other item that is worth mentioning is footwear. I am constantly asked by men in the store, "What's a good casual shoe to wear in the fall?" Even though BSQO has not started stocking mens shoes, here are a couple of my favorites for sideline style:

1 - Salomon Gor-Tex trail shoes. Look at something like the Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra GTX - the dark color looks better than your typical running shoe and the Gortex keeps your feet dry and comfortable on the field or trail.

2 - Hush Puppy Reckless Boot - I love the look of these - like a retro sneaker with suede leather outers and a "Sherpa" lining to provide comfort and warmth.

Both can easily be purchased on zappos.com.
