Hotty Toddy: The 5-Piece Ole Miss Gameday Wardrobe Every Rebel Girl Needs

An Ole Miss gameday outfit isn't one tee — it's five versatile pieces that mix, match, and layer for however your Oxford Saturday unfolds. Here's the capsule wardrobe every Rebel girl needs, built from Brianna Cannon's Ole Miss collection.

Hotty Toddy: Building a Wardrobe for the Grove and Beyond

Nothing in college football looks quite like the Grove on a Saturday morning — white tents, family china on folding tables, and a wardrobe that has to look as good at 9 a.m. tailgate as it does walking into Vaught-Hemingway that afternoon.

The 5 Pieces Every Ole Miss Closet Needs

1. The Mock Neck Sequin Stripe Sweatshirt — the one every Rebel asks about

Ole Miss Mock Neck Sequin Stripe Sweatshirt. Our best-selling Ole Miss piece this season: over a pleated skirt in the Grove once October cools off, or with jeans for a night game.

2. The Script Dress — Grove-ready in September heat

Ole Miss Script Dress. The Grove leans dressy, and this is the one-and-done outfit for it: flats under the oaks, sandals for dinner on the Square.

3. The Scuba Top — from the tent to the student section

Ole Miss Scuba Top. Pair it with the matching Scuba Skirt/Skort for a polished set that still holds up through four quarters.

4. The Embroidered Fleece Hoodie — for Egg Bowl weather

Ole Miss Embroidered Fleece Hoodie. Once the Mississippi heat breaks in November, this is the layer she'll want. Add the Patchwork Sherpa Jacket for the coldest nights.

5. The Heart Pearl Drop Earrings — the Grove finishing touch

Ole Miss Heart Pearl Drop Earrings. Pearls and the Grove go together, and these finish any outfit above.

Big Games on the Ole Miss Calendar

Ole Miss posts a "wear" color for most games, so here's what to wear to the big ones this fall.

Missouri: Wear White

Oct. 17 in Oxford, a white-out game. Try a white top with the Scuba Skirt/Skort and the Navy Logo Headband.

Auburn on Halloween: Wear Powder Blue

Oct. 31 in Oxford, and the call is powder blue. The Powder Blue Logo Headband and HOTTY TODDY Powder Blue Pavé Hoops make it easy, with a white dress or top.

Georgia: Wear Red

Nov. 7, one of the biggest home games of the year. Dress up for it: the Logo Patch Dress with the Red Logo Headband.

The Egg Bowl

Nov. 27, Thanksgiving weekend in Oxford. Plan for a cool night: the Mock Neck Sequin Stripe Sweatshirt under the Patchwork Sherpa Jacket.

How to Mix, Match, and Make It Yours

  • Morning in the Grove: Script dress + flats + pearls
  • In the stands: Scuba top + scuba skirt + sherpa jacket tied around your bag
  • Post-game dinner: Sweatshirt knotted over a sundress + pearl earrings + sandals
  • Late-season night game: Fleece hoodie + jeans + sherpa jacket + boots

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to an Ole Miss football game?

A versatile outfit built around a few key pieces works best: a tee or dress in Rebel colors, a layer like a sweatshirt or sherpa jacket, and one statement accessory — that combination carries you from the Grove to Vaught-Hemingway to dinner after.

What is a good Ole Miss gift for a college student?

A small capsule wardrobe — a sweatshirt, earrings, and a layering piece like a sherpa jacket — gives her a full season of outfits instead of just one tee.

What should I wear to the Grove?

The Grove leans dressy: a dress or a polished set, flats or sandals, and pearls. Check the school's posted "wear" color for each game, like powder blue for Auburn on Oct. 31 and red for Georgia on Nov. 7.

When is the Egg Bowl this year?

The 2026 Egg Bowl is Nov. 27 in Oxford.

How do you dress up a gameday t-shirt?

Swap sneakers for sandals, add gold or pearl jewelry, and pair the tee with a skirt instead of shorts.
