Hockey season is back — and it started earlier than ever this year. Whether you're heading to a rink, a sports bar or a watch party at a friend's place, here's what to wear to a hockey game so you stay warm and still look like you meant it.
First: how cold is a hockey game?
Indoor arenas usually sit around 60–65°F, and it feels colder the closer you are to the ice. Outdoor games are a different story — think winter-coat cold. The rule is simple: layers you can take off, and something warm on your head and feet.
Hockey game outfits for girls
1. Oversized jersey + leggings + boots
The easiest game-day fit. Size up so the jersey hits mid-thigh, then add black leggings and chunky boots. Warm, comfy, done. Our custom hockey jersey lets you put your own name and number on the back.
2. Jersey over a hoodie with wide-leg jeans
Layer the jersey over a grey hoodie with the hood out, add wide-leg denim and sneakers. If the arena gets warm, lose the jersey and you're still dressed.
3. Jersey + beanie + puffer
For an outdoor game or a cold walk from the parking lot: jersey on, short puffer open over it, and a cuffed beanie like our WDW embroidered beanie.
4. Jersey dress, belted
Belt an oversized jersey over tights and knee-high boots. Game day to bar after in one outfit.
5. Matching with your person
Same jersey, different names. See our couple jersey ideas.
Hockey game outfits for guys
6. Jersey over a hoodie, baggy jeans, beanie
The classic. Hoodie underneath for warmth, baggy jeans, retro sneakers and a beanie. More denim ideas in our baggy jeans guide.
7. Heavyweight hoodie, no jersey
Not a jersey person? A heavy oversized hoodie does the job — especially one that says what you're thinking, like our Conversation Overloaded hoodie for the friend who came for the vibes, not the crowd.
8. Jersey + cargos + boots
Relaxed cargo pants and boots balance an oversized jersey and handle slush outside.

9. Jersey + sweats
Comfort wins. Jersey, sweatpants, clean sneakers.
10. Custom name, any team spirit
You don't need to know the rules to wear the jersey. Put your own name on it — nickname, birthday number, inside joke. Need ideas? Read 60+ jersey name & number ideas.
