Jeans, jacket and heeled boots

I take it you're not a football fan? Grin I've never been in a box but I think something warm, comfortable and half decent is your best bet. Anything smart and everyone will think you're a right knob. Have a good time.

Nothing smart at all! Work stuff if going from work. Jeans and a top if weekend.

MissBeehiving · 31/01/2014 18:40

The corporate boxes are heated and glazed.

Corporate boxes at some grounds have a no jeans rule so you might want to check first.

Trousers (not jeans), smart jumper/top, healed boots (with warm socks), warm coat, nice scarf, gloves.

Boxes are usually warm but you may be expected to actually sit outside and watch the game!

If you're not a football fan I would also recommend a hat and some discreet headphones so that you can listen to radio/music/audiobook.

You will probably have drinks / dinner first / after the game so layers are good so you don't get too hot. I usually wear dark jeans, shearling lined boots, thermal vest, a cashmere roll neck, thick cardigan I can take off, big scarf, bobble hat, leather lined gloves and warm puffa jacket. When I used to go with clients I'd wear tights under smart trousers with a thermal vest, roll neck, scarf and big overcoat.

Smart casual where I go sometimes

No jeans. & layers

perplexedpirate · 31/01/2014 23:42

Lots of layers, all of which can hold their own. Also a hat that goes with your hair. You will take it on and off, don't be a victim of hat-hair.
Also, even as a non-football fan, the game is still very enjoyable. Pick the side you are sitting with and shout along. Lots of fun.

Nothing else useful to add, just Grin at no-jeans rules. For watching football. The world has truly gone mad. Enjoy the match.
