The Denver Broncos still have to win the biggest game of the year, but off the field the team has already beat the entire league—at least in the sartorial sense. Late last year, Sports Illustrated voted the Broncos the “Best Dressed Team” in the NFL. As the team arrived in San Jose wearing an array of colorful dress suits and accessories, it’s easy to see why. Instead of throwing on your favorite orange jersey to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday, try flaunting your team spirit in something a bit more stylish—inspired by the Broncos’ high-flying fashion.
Arrive In Style: Make an entrance wherever you’re watching the game by wearing a slick jacket. Haspel‘s navy seersucker sport jacket is a casual, lightweight piece perfect for layering. Pair it with straight-leg jeans and throw it over a fine cashmere or cotton hoodie to sweat out the game. $625, Sully & Co., 2443 Eliot St., 720-398-8064, sullyandco.com
Wear White: You already know that the Broncos have decided to wear their white uniforms (having lost four times in their orange duds). If you’re as superstitious as the team, plan on keeping it simple on game day and wear a fitted, timeless white T-shirt, like this cotton one from Cheap Monday. $26, Fancy Tiger, 55 Broadway, 303-282-6590, fancytiger.com
Sight Lines: Whether vintage, retro, or new, part of Von Miller’s signature look are his statement-making specs. Take a cue from the linebacker and pick a bold pair to accent your personal style, like See By Mondo‘s oversized Gordi frame (pictured, above) with vivid orange accents. $299, See Eyewear, 2800 E. Second Ave., 303-200-1095, seeeyewear.com
Cowboy Boots: After the 2014 season, Peyton Manning bought each of his offensive linemen a pair of custom cowboy boots as a thank you. Add a little Western flair to your Super Bowl look by rocking a pair Liberty Boot Company’s handmade Night Moves—a classic that easily pairs with your best boot-cut jeans. $798, Cry Baby Ranch, 1419 Larimer St., 303-623-3979, crybabyranch.com
Cool Kicks: If cowboy boots aren’t quite your thing, stick with sneakers (check out Von Miller’s neon kicks that he wore to Cali). But go beyond your everyday running shoes with a slick pair of style-makers in the team’s colors, like these navy Giuseppe Zinotti sneakers with high-gloss finish and zipper details. $695, Neiman Marcus, Cherry Creek Shopping Mall, 3030 E. First Ave., 303-329-2600, neimanmarcus.com
