When it comes to the Super Bowl, we say it's not about winning, or nine-layer dip, or the commercials: It's about how you look. Super Bowl Sunday has long been a day for bold style choices, from black under-eye streaks to Janet's boob. (And yes, that sound you hear is Vince Lombardi doing loop-de-loops in his grave.)
To paraphrase ol' Vince, fashion icons aren't born, they're made. So show your team spirit with the tasteful-but-fetching fashions below. Just don't be shocked if the guys there don't peel their eyes off the TV long enough to notice.
Do: Go Back to Jersey
The obvious apparel choice for a Super Bowl party is, of course, a team jersey. The catch is that these tend to be sized to fit Refrigerator Perry, not your girlie figure.
Don't: Get Sexy With Scissors Many a fashion faux pas has been made by ladies hoping to hottify a jersey. Exposed midriffs, laced-up sides, or otherwise Pretty in Pinked-up mesh tops say "Hooters girl," not "Gisele Bundchen in training."
Do: Play Up Your Curves If you're slender, consider getting a jersey in the largest child's size available; the fit will be snug but not revealing. Or, hit the NFL Shop to score a women's Cardinals or Steelers jersey. If your jersey is more a oversized than fitted, tie in the back to eliminate the boxy shape.

Team CardinalsAre you rooting for Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald? Check out Retro Sport's team tee. It's adorable, but what would Samantha Micelli wear? We're guessing this form-fitting black Arizona Cardinals tee designed by Alyssa Milano.
If logos aren't your thing, just don a red top with jeans -- we like Mink Pink's pleated Lizard Queen blouse. Accessorize with Charm School Design's whimsical cardinal hair pins into your up-do.
Team SteelersCheering Ben Roethlisberger and company on to victory? Suit up in Retro Sport's vintage-style Steelers tee. Junk Food Clothing is also showing the Steelers love with its mustard-yellow logo tee. Or represent in a Pittsburgh tee from Neighbor Teaze, which gives shout-outs to a slew of local 'hoods.
For simpler black and gold chic, we like the lattice-print ruffle sleeve top from Reyes, or the yellow embroidered Tikirani Midnight Sun Top from Urban Outfitters.
Team AnybodyLike Switzerland, you're resolutely neutral -- you showed up for the free beer and queso. Put your game face on in Mighty Fine's playful Snoopy tee, or LaRok's ultra-glam Navy 88 football sequin tee. Or, just throw on a gray NFL tee from Junk Food Clothing, commandeer the Laz-E-Boy, and cheer on the halftime shows, men in tight pants and pigs in a blanket. Goooaaaal! (Wait, is that the football word?)
