How to Style a Basketball Jersey

Whether they’re repping their home team or a favorite player, basketball jerseys are a style staple. For a court-turned-street look, tuck your shirt into baggy Nike bball shorts, add a pair of HOKA sneakers and a stack of bracelets. Then, finish off the outfit with a printed headband and a slick red lip for a game-winning look.

Girls’ Basketball Dress

Despite the stereotype of the sloppy, unshaven pickup basketball player, most players have a sense of fashion. Stylish girls can dress up their jerseys with a bomber jacket and sneakers, while others make the court look like a runway in a floral unitard, a sequin skirt, or a micro mini dress. And of course, the perfect pair of shoes can make or break your outfit.

It’s important to choose the right size jersey, so it fits comfortably and doesn’t restrict movement or look sloppy. To determine your chest circumference, wrap a tape measure around the area just under your arms. Then, refer to the sizing chart provided by the jersey manufacturer to find your size.

It’s also essential to keep in mind that your jersey will be worn with other clothing. To ensure a cohesive look, try to match the colors of your jersey to your coordinating shorts and footwear. For example, if you’re wearing a LeBron James jersey, your shorts should be similarly colored. If you’re not sure what to wear with your jersey, visit a sports apparel store for ideas.
