Trend: What do We Wear for Baseball Games?



The baseball season has started in the US since April 4th and also in Korea since March 27th. Exciting games, delicious snacks, shouting crowds...but what do we wear? It has to be something comfortable, but we can't give up being a fashionista! A fashionista does not give up his/her style for anything; exercising, school, shopping, and baseball games is not an exception!

Recently, pastel colored baseball jackets are in trend because of their comfortableness and fashionable look. As baseball jackets are made with windbreaker fabric, they can be warm when the weather gets cooler towards the end of the baseball game.

*What do we wear inside?
A hoodie t-shirt or logo-printed shirts can enhance the quality of your casual baseball jacket.


*What do we wear for the bottom? Jeans, of course. Skinny jeans, baggy jeans, cropped jeans. Every type of jeans goes along with baseball jackets.


*What shoes? Remember my post on converses? Use my tip now! A pair of high-top converses will be comfortable to stay for a while in the baseball game AND help you be a fashionista!

Comfortable Style: Jeans with what Shoes?

Who doesn't like jeans? I bet everyone has at least one pair of jeans in their closet. Jeans in any color, style, or pattern. Jeans are comfortable and fashionable, but what shoes do you match it with to emphasize comfortableness?



There are basically four types of styles to match with jeans.

A: Cropped jeans with low-topped sneakers:
It might look unfashionable if you match cropped jeans with high-topped sneakers. Pastel colors like green and pink seems to match well with style A!


B: Long cropped/rolled up jeans with flat shoes:
How do you match flat shoes with jeans? Long cropped jeans with flat shoes can make you legs look longer and skinnier. It emphasizes your ankle which can make your whole legs look skinny!


C: Skinny jeans with high-topped sneakers:
Skinny jeans may seems a little too tight for some people, but giving a "point" with high-topped sneakers will add a good look to it.

D: Skinny, striped jeans with sandals:
Striped jeans are a new fashion trend these days for people who want their legs to look skinnier. As summer is quickly approaching, try matching the new trend with a pair of gladiator sandals!

Be a fashionista by matching your jeans with the right type of shoes!

Shoes: Trend of Converse Shoes

The All Star Converse sneaker was first created in 1917 when Marquis Mills Converse began his new rubber shoe company. It first came out in only seven colors; black, white, red, ivory, blue, pink, and gray. These colors were popular among both men and women and the All Star Converse didn't stop.
