If you’re unsure of what one wears to a Super Bowl party, allow Virgil Abloh to give you some guidance ahead of game day. While unveiling Off-White’s Fall 2019 collection at Paris Men’s Fashion Week today, the creative director sent a series of football helmets, fringe disco boots, and floral bodysuits down the runway. Game day lewk come thru.

In the predominantly menswear collection, two models stood out in matching floral bodysuits accessorized with white football helmets and leather fringe boots. If you’re unsure of how football works, this is what they call a touchdown.

And for those nights when you have a game at 7 but have to be at Studio 54 at 8, there was a pair of metallic fringe boots that were the stuff of disco dreams.

Another iteration of the over-the-top fringe boots in a black-and-white leather style featured Abloh’s signature “For Walking” text down the shaft.

The cheeky “For Walking” boots are currently available to shop in a cowboy boot style—sans the dramatic fringe.

Abloh also offered additional options for game day outfits. A model wearing a Colts helmet donned a floor-length shirt dress and black cowboy boots. Sporty, but make it Southern Charm is officially the new aesthetic we didn’t know we needed.

So it’s been decided by Virgil: We’re wearing football helmets in 2019. Leave your berets and baker boy hats in 2018. Helmets are the only headwear accessory suitable for blocking out the BS this year.
