Question

Is a maxi dress suitable for a farewell party?

Community Answer

Yes, if you wore it with sandals or open high heels. If it's a more formal event, make sure it's a maxi dress with maybe not too much of a pop of color, but more monochromatic.

Question

What should I wear to a formal school dance?

Community Answer

What you wear to a school dance should make you feel attractive and confident, yet it shouldn't be too uncomfortable. If you're a boy, I would recommend getting a well-fitting suit or jacket. If that's too warm, try to wear light, breathable materials. If you're a girl, you might try wearing a dress made of soft fabric, and its material and length would be dependent on the weather/temperature. If dresses aren't really your thing, you might be able to pull off a dressy top and capris. The most comfortable shoe options are flats, short high heels, or pumps. If you choose to wear heels or pumps, make sure that you can walk in them and that they're the correct size so you don't fall.

Question

Are skinny jeans formal?

Aditi

Community Answer

Skinny jeans should not be worn to formal events. You can make them dressier by wearing inherently dressy pieces with them, but they still should be reserved for casual events.
