Planning to cheer for your favourite team this IPL season? Decoding your match-day look can be a tall order if you’re a true-blue fan of the game — you want your outfit to reflect your unwavering support for your team of choice, while also being comfortable enough to jump, wave, dance and holler all through the match (Story by Anindita Paul)

Layer smartly
Start with a light base of shorts, a coord set, a skater skirt and baby tee, flowing floor-length skirts, skorts or knee-length jean shorts (jorts). Natural fibres such as cotton and linen are your safest bet in the searing heat

Now, layer your team colours over your base in clever ways — an overshirt, baseball cap, accessories like your earrings, a headscarf or bandana, or even coloured sneakers

Accessorise
Fashion designer Asang Kamble suggests to channel your support for the game with a cricket bat or ball-shaped handbag, or one that features a pop or abstract design in your team’s colours

Oversized sunglasses are an integral part of your game day fit. Additionally, you could wear oversized bows in your hair, dress up your look with a fanny pack and interestingly coloured beaded jewellery

Keep your make-up minimal to avoid sweating it off. Kamble states that neck jewellery is best avoided, as are impractical shoes such as very high heels
