Boiler Up, Y'all: The 5-Piece Purdue Gameday Wardrobe Every Boilermaker Girl Needs

A Purdue gameday outfit isn't one black-and-gold tee — it's five versatile pieces that mix, match, and layer for however your West Lafayette Saturday unfolds. Here's the capsule wardrobe every Boilermaker girl needs, built from Brianna Cannon's Purdue collection.

Boiler Up: Building a Wardrobe for Ross-Ade Stadium

The Boilermaker Special rolling past Ross-Ade Stadium, black and gold filling West Lafayette — a Purdue Saturday deserves a wardrobe that moves from tailgate to kickoff to dinner without a hitch.

Purdue Sparkle Logo T-Shirt, $98. Loose with denim shorts before noon; tucked into a skirt with gold hoops for dinner after the win.

2. The Pennant Sparkle Tee

Purdue Pennant Sparkle T-Shirt, $98. A second easy tee for a long tailgate weekend.

3. The Patchwork Sherpa Jacket

Purdue Patchwork Sherpa Jacket, $285. Layers over every look above once the fall night turns cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to a Purdue football game?

A black-and-gold top, one warm layering piece for Indiana's fall weather, and a dressier sweatshirt — that combination carries you from tailgate to Ross-Ade Stadium to dinner after.

What is a good Purdue gift for a college student?

A small capsule wardrobe — a sherpa jacket, a fleece hoodie, and a tee — gives her a full season of outfits instead of just one tee.

How do you dress up a gameday tee?

Swap the fleece hoodie for the Mock Neck Sequin Sweatshirt and add jewelry for evening plans.
