Your boyfriend says “date night,” so naturally you assume: sexy lighting, an even sexier Khy top and a 9 p.m. table at Chelsea Living Room. Naturally, you’ve already memorized the menu like you’re prepping for the SATs.
Mini hot dogs? Yup. The burger? Worth an extra Tracey Anderson class (or two). The $100 caviar pasta? If you’re on your best behavior. You’re mentally styling your Negroni to match your blazer when tragedy strikes. He texts: “Knicks vs Celtics tmrw… biggest game in 25 years.”
Excuse me, sir? Now you need to trade in your Negroni and blazer for beer and a bodysuit. Tragic.
But, instead of throwing a BF (bitch fit)... or ok, after throwing one, you did what any semi-delulu, entitled 26-year-old would do: You sent him two row-four seats to the game.
Courtside (ish) or you’re not watching.
Anything to get out of Trionas.
Keep reading for what to wear to the big game… even though you’re still salty you’re not treating yourself to that perfectly salted dirty martini dip.
Every fluent girl knows that a blazer instantly makes an outfit high-fashion… like Michal Kurtis high-fashion. Pair it with a sweatshirt + basketball shorts, jeans + kitten heels or boxers + loafers, and obviously with a New York or Nowhere hat to match.
Kylie Jenner wore leather pants and a tight tank to the Knicks game… so we are wearing leather pants and a tight tank to the Knicks game. Yes, you’ll be hot, but CIDA (cool, I didn’t ask). Throw on a pair of open-toe sandals and maybe your hard launch post will go as viral as Kylie and Timothee.
It’s the summer of Bermuda shorts and a basketball game is no exception… even though you would rather be rocking them at the Rosewood in Tucker’s Point (with a Piña Colada in hand). Style these oversized shorts with a cropped tee or tank and, of course, your favorite Khaite belt.
If you’re more of a mini short gal, pair your tiniest pair with a baby tee, an oversized jersey or a fun vintage bomber jacket. Even if you have Coco Schiffer legs, you’ll need shoes with some height to make this super flattering.
There’s nothing more “chill girl who eats chicken fingers out of a bucket” than a button down… that is straight out of your S.O.’s closet. You can wear this untucked with pants and flip-flops or as a dress with loafers and a hat.
