Style Notes How To Wear A Basketball Jersey A basketball jersey over a white T-shirt, faded jeans and leather sneakers makes an easy outfit for an afternoon out. The loose layers feel right with denim that has softened through wear. A jersey also works with a pleated skirt or a long satin skirt, with the waistband and shoes giving you a different way to wear the same top. In This Piece A White Tee And Faded Jeans Finding Your Size What To Wear Under A Basketball Jersey Summer Outfits With Shorts The Front Number And A Pleated Skirt A Jersey For An Evening Game Wearing A Long Jersey As A Dress A Satin Skirt And An Open Leather Jacket A White Tee And Faded Jeans A royal-blue jersey looks especially good over a white cotton tee with generous sleeves. The white shows across the upper arms and inside the neckline, giving the outfit a slightly oversized shape through the shoulders. With faded jeans and white high-tops, it has the relaxed feel of clothes you have been wearing for years. Wide Leg Multi-Pocket Straight Leg Loose Jeans – 1666 The Supermade’s Wide Leg Multi-Pocket Straight Leg Loose Jeans – 1666 bring a gray-blue wash and large side pockets to this combination. Their pale seams are visible down the legs, and the hems are broad enough to sit over substantial sneakers. The product listing includes an adjustable drawstring waist. Wear the tee tucked into the jeans and leave the jersey loose. A washed navy cap finishes the outfit. The denim can rest lightly over the sneaker laces, with the white toes showing beneath it. Finding Your Size The jersey’s chest measurement and body length answer separate questions. Chest room affects how comfortably it fits over your chosen layer. Length determines how much of your pants or skirt remains visible beneath the hem. An untucked top you already like is a useful reference for length. Compare it with the garment measurements on the jersey’s product page, using the retailer’s measuring method. A jersey ending around the hips will leave much of your jeans visible. A longer one creates a loose column of fabric through the torso and upper thighs. Read the chart’s measurement labels before making that comparison. Nike’s NBA and WNBA jersey chart, for example, gives body measurements, including chest circumference. Those figures help you select a size from your own measurements. The particular garment’s length tells you where its hem will fall. Try the jersey over the layer you expect to wear most often. For a hoodie outfit, wear the hoodie during the fitting and reach forward to check the room through the shoulders and armholes. A comfortable jersey should settle back across the chest as you lower your arms. What To Wear Under A Basketball Jersey Basketball jersey over a white tee. Culture Kings. A white crewneck T-shirt gives the blue-jersey-and-jeans outfit its familiar layered appearance. Cotton sleeves extending beyond the armholes become a noticeable part of the top. The tee can have a relaxed fit through the shoulders, with a body that sits smoothly beneath the jersey. For a sleeveless outfit, a fitted tank supplies coverage around the chest and sides. Its armholes need to sit high enough to cover the area you prefer beneath the jersey’s deeper openings. Black is useful under a dark jersey; a white tank can become a visible layer beneath a pale one. A square-neck tank shows a straight edge inside a rounded jersey neckline, which can look particularly good with a skirt. The jersey can also be worn directly against the skin. That keeps the striped armhole binding fully visible on bare shoulders. This suits a summer combination of a white jersey, olive shorts and suede sneakers. When choosing between these layers, look at the actual mesh in daylight to see how much of the fabric or skin beneath it shows through. Summer Outfits With Shorts The shorts and shoes below give you three complete ways to wear a jersey in warm weather. Jersey Shorts And Underlayer Shoes And Finishing Details Red with black trim Black wide-leg cargo shorts and a fitted black tank. Leave the jersey loose over the waistband. White crew socks, black low-top sneakers and a washed black cap. White with green lettering Olive cotton shorts finishing above the knees, with the jersey worn as a sleeveless top. Cream socks, brown suede sneakers and a small canvas shoulder bag. Navy with white lettering Faded blue denim shorts ending around the knees and a plain white tee beneath the jersey. White leather high-tops and a navy cap with a curved brim. High-Waisted Cargo Shorts For the first combination, The Supermade’s High-Waisted Cargo Shorts are listed in black cotton twill with a wide-leg fit and large side pockets. The amount of shorts showing below the jersey changes the outfit noticeably. Knee-length denim looks good with its pockets and upper legs visible. A jersey finishing near the hips leaves room for those details, including faded creases across the front and any fraying along the hems. The Front Number And A Pleated Skirt A large number placed low on the jersey lends itself to a small side tuck. The plain mesh beside the graphic can sit inside the skirt’s waistband, leaving the center front hanging freely. One corner rises to reveal the waist, and the rest of the jersey falls across the opposite hip. Try that with a navy jersey, a gray pleated mini, white crew socks and black loafers. The skirt and shoes have a school-uniform feel, especially with the socks sitting a little loosely above the ankles. A small black shoulder bag belongs with this outfit. A high-set chest graphic leaves more fabric available for a full tuck. Lightweight mesh gathers softly above the waistband, and the skirt’s pleats remain visible from the waist down. A firm waistband gives the tucked fabric somewhere to sit. Ease a little of the jersey back out so there is comfortable room through the torso. The neckline can stay fairly open here. A white tank underneath leaves a small area of white above the navy mesh, echoing the socks farther down the outfit. A Jersey For An Evening Game For the walk to an evening game, wear a black jersey over a white tee, navy track pants and cream sneakers. A gray zip hoodie goes over the jersey, with the front open enough to show the lettering. The pants can fall straight through the legs and settle onto the shoes. A narrow white stripe along the side seams looks good among the white tee sleeves and pale sneakers. The hoodie is easy to take off once you are seated and pull on again for the trip home. Its pockets are useful for a phone and keys. Check the venue’s current bag policy before deciding how to carry anything else. On a day when the extra layer will stay on, a pullover can go beneath the jersey. A gray hood resting outside a black jersey’s neckline gives the outfit a fuller shape around the shoulders. Soft fleece is comfortable for this combination, with the same navy pants and cream shoes. Choose the jersey size with that pullover underneath so the sleeves have room at the armholes. Wearing A Long Jersey As A Dress Opaque bike shorts provide the base for a jersey-dress outfit. Choose a pair you feel comfortable wearing on their own, then try the long jersey over them. The hem should give you the coverage you prefer when seated and moving, including through any side splits. A red jersey over black bike shorts and a fitted black tank looks good with white crew socks and black leather high-tops. The jersey hangs from the shoulders and moves loosely around the thighs. Small silver hoops suit the open neckline. The shorts can show below the jersey as part of the outfit. A few inches of fitted black fabric beneath the red hem give you a visible layer around the legs. With shorts ending higher, the jersey’s loose lower edge becomes the outer shape. Try both pieces together with your shoes on; the length that looks right will depend on the particular jersey and where its hem falls on you. A Satin Skirt And An Open Leather Jacket The satin skirt is the part of this outfit to choose first. A charcoal midi with a fluid shape gives you movement below a hip-length black jersey. Add low-heeled black ankle boots, a fitted black tank beneath the jersey and a roomy leather jacket worn open. The skirt hangs in long folds from beneath the loose top, with the boot toes appearing as you walk. A longer jersey can sit partly tucked at one side of the skirt’s waistband. That exposes more satin near the hip and lets the remaining mesh hang softly across the front. White lettering stays visible between the jacket fronts. A small bag with a short shoulder strap rests beneath one arm, and silver earrings show above the collar.
