OPENING DAY is just a few short days away, and for many female fans, choosing the perfect opening day outfit may not be as simple as wearing red and white. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply enjoy the all-American vibe that is Cardinals baseball, here are a few short steps to looking your best on game day, no face paint required.
SUN-KISSED SKIN
The first few weeks of spring (hopefully) mean warmer temperatures and sunny days. But even with the welcome warmth, the last thing you want to do to your skin is let it bake on the bleachers. Use STILA’S BRONZING TINTED MOISTURIZER with SPF 20. It will keep your skin protected, hydrated and best of all, give it a healthy glow. Worn alone or with your bronzer of choice, it will last from opening pitch to the very last inning.
ALTERNATIVE APPAREL
While Cardinals gear is great for game day and running errands, having some Cardinals red without logos is a must. Hudson Jeans Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans are a great alternative to regular Cards gear and can be worn long after the game has ended. Pair them with a simple white top during game day or your lucky Cards vintage tee.
HAT HAIR
Adding a little game day glam to your Cards hairstyle is as easy as it is worthwhile. Part your hair like usual and apply a heat-protecting product. FREDERIC FEKKAI’S BRILLIANT GLOSSING CREAM is great for keeping hair hydrated and helping it retain shine, even with heat exposure. Starting just below your chin, curl your hair with a 1.5 or 2-inch curling iron. If you have shorter hair, start just below your ears. Make sure your curls stay in place with REDKEN’S QUICK DRY- INSTANT FINISHING HAIR SPRAY, a great lightweight hair spray. Wondering what to do with the rest of your hair? That’s where your Cards hat comes in. Nothing says game day glam like big curls and your favorite cap.
PAINT IT RED
What do Chanel and the Cardinals have in common? NOTES DE PRINTEMPS LE VERNIS NAIL COLOR IN ROUGE RUBIS! It’s the perfect shade of Cardinals red to subtly show off your Cards pride. Even if you’re not lucky enough to be at Busch Stadium or can’t rock your gear in the office, a swipe of Rouge Rubis will keep your nails equal parts spirited and sophisticated. Of course, you can always spice up your mani with WINCRAFT TATTOO NAIL STICKERS. Apply on every nail or just use the Cardinals logo nail stickers as an accent to show off your Red Bird pride.
BASEBALL BIJOUX
Not quite sold on wearing Cardinals jewelry outside of a game? Check out Tory Burch’s line of red bracelets, earrings and necklaces that sport the same deep-red hue as our beloved team. The TILSIM LOGO HEART STUD is a beautiful red tone that boasts a gold Tory Burch logo. It’s designer-meets-baseball, and the heart-shaped earring says it all when it comes to every fan’s devotion to the Cardinals.
