Ah, you smell that? That fresh cut outfield? The right-off-the-grill hot dog? The jock sweat? That only means one thing people' it's baseball season! 30 teams honoring their hometowns and their fans, so we have to reciprocate that, right?

When you show up to the game looking like you have no clue what's going on, you embarrass yourself, the other fans, and your club. So if you want to avoid getting boo'd in your own hometown stadium, put on for your city and follow The Complex Guide to Baseball Style.

Caps

Rocking the right cap to a game could make or break your standing with your fellow fans and with your own self-conscious. While a 59FIFTY New Era will always get you a pass, don't be afraid to spruce it up with a snapback or even a old-timy flannel cap to raise your sartorial roof. 

What to rock: 

Los Angeles Dodgers 1981 World Series New Era Fitted - $36 

Baldwin Denim x Ebbets Red KC Wool Cap - $42 

New York Yankees New Era Snake Snapback - $30

Jerseys For The Streets

Jerseys will forever play a pivotal role in the acceptance by your peers because, let's face it; you are being judged solely on your appearance. You don't always need to be plastered with your teams logo. There are plenty of subtle, yet dope jerseys out from your favorite brands. Or check for some vintage ones that rep the olden times.

Ten Deep Triple X Baseball Jersey - $75

Ebbets Washington Grays 1944 Road Jersey - $185

Raglan Shirts

The quintessential part of the baseball game uniform is always stylish, with or without team affiliation. Rock 'em with jeans, shorts, or comfy swag sweats and you may catch a fly ball and a fly chick.

Jackets 

Spring ball is over, but it's still a bit nipply at a majority of these parks. Wearing the appropriate jacket is key to your baseball style and to keep your nipples from falling off. This is also a good opportunity to take a style risk and rock some camo.
