Courtside Looks To Inspire Your Next Trip To A Basketball Game

It used to be that going to basketball games required a super casual outfit. After all, the players are just wearing tanks and shorts. However, with the abundance of celebrities spotted courtside dressed to the nines, b-ball fashion has stepped up. Sure, you can wear your favorite team's jersey, but where's the fun in that? Channel your inner star and treat your next basketball game as your runway.

Celebs like Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski have been seen wearing super fashionable knee-high boots to accessorize an otherwise casual outfit. If you want to go the laid-back route, matching sweatsuit sets are still trendy, as seen on Jonah Hill and Lisa Rinna. From chic streetwear to all-out glam, there's no wrong outfit for basketball games. If you're unsure which way to go, you can always elevate a basic tee and jeans with strappy stilettos. They might not be great for shooting three-pointers, but at least you'll look cute as a spectator.

A crop top and loose jeans are a great alternative if you want to look sporty but don't want to go the sweats route. A bomber jacket draped over your shoulders will help you ward off any chill, but you'll probably work up a sweat screaming, "Let's go (insert team)!" A pair of white platform sneakers will complete your basketball day outfit.

Even if you're not Beyoncé, you can still treat a basketball game like a photo opp. Dress to impress with a body-hugging jumpsuit and a pair of over-the-knee boots. Minimal jumpsuits are super trendy and easy to style, and basketball season is the perfect time to pull out your fave boots. Keep your accessories simple with a metallic watch, or get flashy and layer on several necklaces.

What's not to love about T-shirt dresses? They're functional yet fashionable; you can dress them up or down. For a basketball event, ditch your sneakers and slip on a pair of white go-go boots instead. They'll elevate your look, and you'll be ready to head to a nearby sports bar after the game. Foam fingers are optional.

Adele proves that there are no wrong occasions for wearing leopard print. Don't wait for a dressy event to rock your fancy coat — a basketball game is perfect for showing off your fashion skills. Extra points if you're able to maneuver through the bleachers in stilettos. Hey, we can't all get VIP seating like the "Rolling in the Deep" singer.

Take inspiration from Jennifer Hudson and sport an all-denim outfit to watch your favorite NBA team throw some hoops. Denim-on-denim is trending, and the look screams relaxed yet stylish enough to get snapped by paparazzi. A light blue stonewashed color is reminiscent of the Y2K era, so have fun with this look and don a pair of platform boots or sneakers.

Speaking of Y2K, parachute pants are coming back, and your team's jersey knotted at the waist shows off your team spirit while balancing out an oversized look. White high-top sneakers are reminiscent of the '80, so there are all sorts of decade trends going on here, but we're all for mixing and matching.

For model Winnie Harlow, the whole world is her runway, including the Lakers basketball court. The 5'9" beauty came to slay in a cage dress with leather detailing. As if her outfit wasn't extra enough, she draped a floor-length fur coat over her shoulders and accessorized with a pair of giant triangle earrings. If you dare to wear this 'fit, be prepared to turn heads.
