Fall is almost here, and with the 2026 football season just around the corner, there's zero chance we're showing up to a tailgate in the same old thing. Caitlin and Leah clearly feel the same way. In their latest "Game Day Get Ready With Me" episode on their YouTube channel, the duo broke down exactly what they pack for a crisp Saturday afternoon. And the star of the show? The Caitlin and Leah Classic T-Shirt, a soft, relaxed tee that's built for everything from the stadium seats to the post-game hang.
We've been testing it out, and we've got the full breakdown - how to style it, what to expect with sizing, and why fans are making it their go-to for a fall football game outfit.
The Look
The foundation of any good game-day fit starts with a tee that actually feels good. The Caitlin and Leah Classic T-Shirt rings in at $24.99, and it's made from 100% ring-spun cotton. That means it's pre-shrunk, so you won't have to worry about it shrinking up in the wash after that first big spill of queso. The relaxed unisex fit gives you room to move, but it still looks sharp when you tuck it into high-waisted jeans or knot it at the side.
For a complete look, pair the tee with your favorite broken-in denim and low-top sneakers. Add a light jacket for early afternoon games, or toss on the Caitlin and Leah Premium Hoodie ($49.99) for those night games that drop into the 40s. The hoodie is pre-shrunk too, and it's got that cozy heavyweight feel without being stiff.
If you're planning to switch things up, the Caitlin and Leah Polo Shirt ($34.99) is a polished alternative. It's perfect for a more buttoned-up tailgate look or if you're walking the concourse and want something a little more refined. And for the warmer early September kickoffs, the Caitlin and Leah Tank Top ($19.99) is the lightest layer that still reps the brand.
How Fans Are Styling It
The fan community has taken the classic tee and run with it. Right now, there's a whole "Caitlin and Leah Game Day" tag on TikTok where fans are showing off their fits. We've seen the tee styled with cargo pants, layered under a flannel, and even paired with a cardigan for a softer touch. One fan favorite bit from Caitlin and Leah's recent "Group Chat" video is their "touchdown twirl" - a little spin to show off the back of the tee. Spoiler: it's just the standard fit, but the energy sells it.
The hoodie is also showing up in unexpected ways. Plenty of fans are wearing it open over the tee as a look-all-day layer, while others are sizing up to get that lounge-all-day vibe. The polo? It's become a top pick for game day brunch before the stadium gates open.
Sizing and Fit Guide
The Classic T-Shirt is designed as a relaxed unisex fit. So if you like your tees a little more fitted, we'd suggest going down a size. If you're between sizes, sizing up gives you that easy, breezy layer that works with leggings or loose pants. The fabric is soft from the first wear, so there's not a lot of breaking-in to do.
For the hoodie, the fit runs true to size with a slightly boxy cut. It's ideal for layering, and since it's pre-shrunk, you don't have to account for shrinkage. The tank top has a more fitted cut, so if you're particularly between sizes, you might prefer the larger option for a bit more room through the arms.

FAQ
Is the Classic T-Shirt true to size?
Yes, the tee is designed as a relaxed unisex fit. It runs true to size, but if you want a more fitted silhouette, we recommend ordering one size down.
Can I wear the Polo Shirt to a more formal tailgate?
Absolutely. The polo's tailored collar and button placket read as polished, but it's still a casual piece. Pair it with chinos or dark jeans and you've got a smart-casual game day look.
Will the hoodie shrink in the wash?
No. The Premium Hoodie is pre-shrunk, so you can wash it and dry it without worrying about fit changes.
What's the best way to style the Tank Top for a hot, early-season game?
Keep it simple: the tank is fitted, so it looks great with high-waisted shorts or wide-leg pants. Add a hat and sunglasses for a classic summer-to-fall transition.
When does the 2026 fall collection restock?
We're not sure exactly, but keeping an eye on the store and Caitlin and Leah's social accounts is the best way to catch updates. As of this week, sizes are still looking pretty full. - -
