Formerly one of the HBICs at Total Sorority Move (RIP), Rachel Varina has a long history of writing about things that make her parents ashamed. She's an avid lover of holding grudges, sitting down, and buffalo chicken dip. Currently, she lives in Tampa, Florida, but did not feed her husband to tigers. And even though she's married (with a *gasp* baby), she doesn't suck. Promise. PROMISE! Follow her on Instagram and Twitter (@rachelvarina) so she gets more followers than that influencer her husband dated in high school.

Whether you’re in it for the game, the commercials, or just here to see what Taylor Swift wears in the VIP suite, Super Bowl Sunday is basically a national holiday. And like any good holiday, it requires preparation. Which means it’s time to talk Super Bowl party essentials because you don’t wanna be the person scrambling to throw together some sad-looking chips and dip while the game-winning touchdown happens — or worse, miss a single second of Swiftie PDA because you forgot to stock up on booze. Priorities, people.

Tbh, whether you actually understand football or just nod along when someone yells about a flag on the play, one thing is for sure: you need to have your Super Bowl setup locked and loaded. We’re talking snacks, drinks, decor, and maybe even a festive outfit to show you at least tried. Bonus points if it’s giving “cool girlfriend who gets it at the watch party” or “chic-yet-unbothered plus-one in the corner.”

So, to make sure your Super Bowl experience is as ~elite~ as Tay’s VIP box, we rounded up the absolute essentials — from the best bites to the perfect oversized sweats that scream, I’m here for the vibes, not the plays. Because whether you’re yelling at the TV all night or just hanging on until the halftime show, you deserve to do it in style. Go team!
