15 real-life looks* What to wear to a sports banquet (casual + dressy)

Wondering what to wear to a sports banquet? You’ve come to the right place! 

Being an athlete is no easy feat. For years, you’ve been trying your best to balance studying, practicing, sleep and leisure.

I mean, resilience is real.

That’s why a sports banquet holds a place in an athlete’s heart. 

It is a special moment when you can gather all your family, friends, and coaches to celebrate the journey with you and recognize your success.

To fully enjoy this big day, well, picking the right outfit is key.

Depending on the formality, below I’ve gathered 15 real-life athletic banquet outfit ideas, enjoy!

1. What to wear to a sports banquet ladies?

Depending on the school and venue, the formality varies.

However, there’s one thing all sport banquet shares in common – always dress decent and COMFY.

After all, the banquet is a formal large feast, and a high chance you will eat a lot and feel somehow bloated.

That’s why it’s best to go with a loose-cutting romper or forgiving tunic dress.

Avoid anything that is too restrictive like a corset top or bodycon dress.

2. What to wear to a sports banquet guys?

For a semi-formal or formal banquet, wear a tie and shirt as a safe bet. When in doubt, it’s better to overdress than underdress.

3. What to wear to a formal sports banquet

If you want to play safe, double-check the dress code with the host.

After all, you will be taking a ton of photos the whole night.

The last thing you want is to stand out in a sports jersey when everyone else dresses smartly in a suit.

4. Semi-formal sports banquet attire

If the athletic banquet is more relaxed, feel free to jazz up the look with a dash of fun.

For ladies, heels are not your only option! A pink dress with cowboy boots can be equally flattering!

As for guys, get experimental with waistcoats. It just looks presentable and stylish at the same time.

5. What to wear to an athletic banquet cocktail party

If you are going to a formal sports banquet cocktail party, this is the perfect opportunity for you to go dress up.

It’s time to step out of your comfort zone with all the bold colors and a nice hair-do to feel the best. You know, a little sequin never hurt anybody!

Reminder:

You should always dress decent for a sports banquet, avoid the super low neck and a mini dress. When in doubt, go for midi length.

As a girl with a bloated belly 24/7, I’ll highly recommend you wear a peplum dress to a sports banquet.

This new year, I’m trying not only to share fashion tips but come up with ways to instill body positivity in all women who are reading my articles – aka YOU!

Instead of just reading it, say it loud or murmur the quotes (if you are in public) to maximize the effect.

Ready? Here we go.

I love my body. She is my forever home and sanctuary.

Sassy isn’t a shape, it’s an attitude.

Work out because I love my body – not because I hate it.

I can love myself and change my body at the same time. No guilt about that.

It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.

My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.

I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.

I AM perfect imperfection.

What are your thoughts on that? I hope that makes you feel better (as you deserved).

Please help me pass the body positivity message in your community. #womenhelpwomen

For teenage girls, a cute floral dress is just perfect for both sports banquets and after-party.
