It’s a warm October afternoon in Inglewood, and your bag holds two things that don’t seem to belong together: a travel tube of sunscreen and a folded hoodie. The sun is bright on the walk in from the lot. By the fourth quarter, the air moving through the stadium has a coastal edge you didn’t plan for.
That swing is the real puzzle behind Rams game day outfits. Southern California rarely gives you a truly cold game, but it does give you close to a 20-degree gap between the afternoon high and the overnight low in fall, and SoFi Stadium is built without exterior walls, so the evening breeze finds your seat. You want royal blue and yellow that look good at 80 degrees and still work once the sun drops behind the canopy.
Below are seven looks, four for women and three for men, including a plus-size-friendly option and two built for chilly December nights. After that you’ll find the bag rules, the monthly temperatures and a checklist, so nothing gets turned away at the gate.
Know the colors before you shop
The team calls its two main shades Rams Royal and Sol. They arrived with the 2020 rebrand as a brighter take on the old royal blue and gold, and Sol was named for the Los Angeles sun. Color reference sites list them at roughly #003594 for Rams Royal and #FFD100 for Sol, which helps when you’re matching a sweater online to a hat you already own.
The catch is that Sol is a warm, saturated yellow, not a mustard or a gold. Pair it with a true royal rather than navy, or the outfit reads as a different team. White, denim and black all sit comfortably next to both colors, so lean on them when you can’t find the exact shade. If you want a broader starting point, our game day outfit ideas hub covers the basic formulas that work for any team.
7 Rams game day outfits for women
1. The royal blue sweater and light-wash denim
A lightweight royal blue crewneck (cotton or a cotton blend, $30 to $60) over a white tank, with straight-leg light-wash jeans and white sneakers. Add a small Sol yellow hair clip or scrunchie so the second team color shows up without a second loud piece.
It works because the sweater can come off at 1 p.m. and go back on at halftime, and the tank underneath still looks finished. Tip: in October, downtown Los Angeles averages a high near 79°F and a low near 60°F, so that tank alone is fine on the walk in but not after dark.
2. The Sol tee and wide-leg trousers
For an early season day game, try a fitted Sol yellow team tee ($25 to $45) tucked into royal or black wide-leg trousers in a breathable fabric like linen blend or Tencel. Flat sandals are tempting, but closed-toe sneakers or loafers handle the stairs and the crowds better.
Yellow is the harder color to wear head to toe, so keep it to one piece near your face, where it brightens everything. Tip: September in the area averages around 83°F, and the stadium’s roof shades the seats but not the plaza, so keep sunscreen in your clear bag for the walk and any tailgate time.
3. The plus-size jersey and long cardigan
A replica jersey sized up one size ($100 to $175) over black ponte leggings or straight-leg black jeans, with a long open cardigan in charcoal or cream that falls to mid-thigh. Finish with cushioned sneakers, because you’ll likely walk more than a mile between parking, the plaza and your section.
The length of the cardigan draws a clean vertical line, and the jersey’s boxy cut gives you room to move without clinging. This is the plus-size-friendly pick because nothing is tight at the waist and every layer works on its own. Tip: check the size chart for the jersey’s chest measurement rather than guessing, since cuts vary between replica styles. Our guide to oversized jersey outfit ideas has more ways to style the same piece.
4. The cold night puffer vest and thermals
For a December night game, start with a fitted long-sleeve thermal in white or royal, layer a team crewneck or hoodie on top, and finish with a black or royal puffer vest. Add dark jeans, warm socks and ankle boots, and keep a Sol beanie in the clear bag.
December lows in downtown Los Angeles average about 48°F, which isn’t harsh, but you’ll be sitting still for three hours in a building open to the breeze. A vest keeps your core warm without bulk under your arms, so you can still clap and wave. Tip: SoFi permits non-heated blankets, so a thin fleece throw folded across your lap is a quiet upgrade.

5. The quarter-zip and chinos
A royal blue quarter-zip pullover ($40 to $80) over a white tee, with khaki or olive chinos and clean leather or canvas sneakers. A Sol yellow cap ties it together.
It’s the easiest look for a day game that runs into evening: zip up when the breeze picks up, zip down when the section heats up. Tip: a performance quarter-zip dries faster than cotton if you’ve been tailgating in the afternoon sun. For more men’s options, see our game day outfits for men.
6. The throwback jersey and denim jacket
A throwback style jersey in royal and gold-yellow over a gray hoodie, with dark jeans and high-top sneakers. If it’s warm, skip the hoodie and carry a light denim jacket instead.
Throwback cuts usually run longer and looser, so they layer well over a hoodie without pulling at the shoulders. Tip: if you’re buying a jersey you’ll wear over layers, try it on with the hoodie underneath before you commit.
7. The December night flannel and shell
For the coldest home games, wear a royal or black flannel shirt over a thermal, a light water-resistant shell on top, dark jeans or work pants, and boots. A royal beanie and thin gloves fit into a clear bag easily.
Rain is the more likely nuisance than cold in an LA winter, and the shell handles both the drizzle on the walk and the wind inside. Tip: the stadium is cashless, so leave the cash at home and keep a card or phone wallet in a zip pocket of that shell.
What the weather actually does in Los Angeles
The National Weather Service’s 1991 to 2020 normals for downtown Los Angeles give a clear picture of the season. September averages about 83°F by day and 64°F at night. October cools to about 79°F and 60°F, November to about 73°F and 53°F, and December to about 67°F and 48°F. January sits near 68°F and 49°F.
Inglewood sits closer to the coast than downtown, and the stadium’s designers built it to pull in cooling ocean winds rather than rely on air conditioning. That’s great at 2 p.m. and noticeable at 9 p.m. The rule of thumb: dress for the high, carry a layer for 10 to 15 degrees lower. Our cold weather game day outfits guide covers deeper layering if you’re also heading to road games.
SoFi Stadium bag rules and what to leave at home
SoFi follows the NFL clear bag policy for Rams games. Bags must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, with no tint or printed pattern. Small non-clear bags and clutches up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches are allowed, and a one-gallon clear freezer bag also counts as approved. You can read the full rules on the SoFi Stadium bag policy page.
Prohibited bags include purses larger than a clutch, non-clear backpacks and fanny packs, coolers, diaper bags, cinch bags and camera bags. Non-heated blankets are permitted, and soft seat cushions up to 22 by 16 inches are allowed if they have no pockets or hard parts. Strollers and wagons aren’t allowed in the bowl.
The SoFi Stadium A to Z guide adds a few details worth knowing: the stadium is cashless, you can’t leave and re-enter on the same ticket, and outside food isn’t allowed, though one factory-sealed water bottle of 20 ounces or less is. For temperatures, the National Weather Service Los Angeles normals are the source used above. Rules can change by event, so check the team or stadium page in the week before kickoff.
Your Rams game day checklist
- Clear bag no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches

Questions people ask
What should I wear to a Rams game in LA?
Start with one royal blue piece and one Sol yellow accent, then add denim or neutral basics. For early season afternoon games, breathable fabrics and sunscreen matter more than layers. From October on, bring a hoodie or light jacket for the second half.
What should a woman wear to a Rams game when it’s cold?
A fitted thermal under a team hoodie, with a puffer vest, dark jeans and ankle boots, covers most cold nights in Los Angeles. December lows average around 48°F downtown, and you’ll be sitting still in a building that’s open to the breeze. A beanie and a thin non-heated blanket finish the job.
What do men wear to Rams games in Los Angeles?
A royal quarter-zip with chinos is the simplest choice, and a jersey over a hoodie is the classic one. Add a Sol cap if the rest of the outfit is mostly blue. For night games, a flannel and a light water-resistant shell handle wind and drizzle.
Are there good plus size Rams game day outfits?
Yes. A jersey sized up one size over ponte leggings or straight black jeans, with a long open cardigan, is comfortable and flattering. Look for soft knits, longer hemlines and shoes with real cushioning for the long walk from parking.
What should women wear to a football game at SoFi Stadium in winter?
Layer instead of reaching for one heavy coat: a thermal, a team crewneck and a vest or shell. You’ll be warm in your seat and won’t overheat on the concourse. Keep a beanie and gloves in your clear bag in case the evening drops below 50°F.
Is SoFi Stadium indoors or outdoors?
It’s covered by a fixed roof that is partly transparent, but it has no exterior walls, so outside air moves through. That means shade and rain protection, but not climate control. Dress for the actual evening temperature, not an indoor arena.
