packing list: rack habit goes to a giants game

if you were on twitter on wednesday afternoon, you probably realized that the rack habit office had gone on a field trip. we took the afternoon off to see the san francisco giants play the los angeles dodgers at at&t park, just a short walk from our office. although the game was exciting, with a pitching stand-off between the two teams' best pitchers, observing and interacting with the crowd was almost equally impressive-- from intense mohawks to foam beards and orange hair, crowd-watching was a blast too.

not so entertaining? the realization that most of us had dressed totally inappropriately for the event. san francisco natives katrina and emily got it right in giants' gear and shorts; the rest of us were suddenly fashion victims, having dressed under erroneous expectations regarding san francisco's usually cool weather and the navigability of bleachers in heels (it can't be that different from climbing san francisco's hills, right? not so much). personally, i found myself sweating through a pair of thick black leggings and boots, while still managing to get sunburned!

with this experience now behind us, we have a much better idea of what to wear to our next sporting event. planning on taking an afternoon off for america's favorite pastime? make sure you have rack habit's must-haves for attending a baseball game!

1. break out your favorite pair of denim shorts-- a summer baseball game is the perfect opportunity to wear this classic!
2. a baseball cap corners the market on easiest way to show team spirit while providing coverage from the sun.
3. stay cool in a breezy top! keep your look on trend by choosing stripes or, if you're daring, a crop!
4. converse scream all-american, just like baseball, and they make trolling the stadium for garlic fries a walk in the park.
5. accessorize with cute friendship-style bracelets in your team's colors.

other essentials include sunscreen and an anti-bacterial gel like purell (always!!), as well as plenty of cash for ice cream!
