Deciding what to wear to your class reunion can be fun. Before you decide on an outfit, take into consideration the weather forecast, where the event is being held, what time of day the reunion will take place. Once you’ve figured out these logistical parameters, choose an outfit that makes you feel fabulous and comfortable at the same time.
Steps
-
Consider the time of the event. When the event is happening will affect the outfit you choose to wear. An evening reunion might invite a cocktail dress, while a casual sundress and sandals might be more appropriate for a reunion in the late afternoon. [1] X Expert Source Kalee Hewlett

Think about the location. Before you choose an outfit for your class reunion, you should consider where the event is being held. A reunion at the local pub might lend itself to a more casual outfit, like jeans and a button down shirt. A reunion at a fancy restaurant, however, might mean donning a fancier, more refined getup.

Don’t forget to check the weather. Make sure you look at the weather forecast before you choose an outfit to wear to your class reunion. This will help you plan an outfit that is suitable for the climate and season. You would not, for example, want to be stuck wearing a three piece suit in triple digit weather.

Wear something in which you feel comfortable. If you want to have fun and project your best self at a class reunion, feeling comfortable in your clothing is an important. Choose an outfit that makes you feel great while keeping you comfortable at the same time. [4] X Expert Source Kalee Hewlett

Choose an outfit that makes you feel attractive. You want to look and feel your best at a high school reunion. Wearing an outfit that makes you feel attractive is important. If you feel frumpy in jeans and a nice top, but hot in a dress or suit, go for the dress or suit.
-
Stick to what you know. A high school reunion is usually not the best venue for trying out a new look. Instead, stick to your tried and true fashion hacks. For example, donning a new pair of stilettos at an outdoor reunion may not be the best idea if you don’t normally wear heels. [5] X Research source
-
Go for an age-appropriate outfit. It is important that your outfit reflects your age and stage of life. An outfit appropriate for a 20-something attending their 10 year reunion could be questionable for someone attending their 30 year reunion. Don't try to look like your younger self--show everyone who you have become. [6] X Research source
-
Wear a business casual outfit. If you want to look put together in a chic, modern way, try wearing a business casual outfit to your high school reunion. Consider a tailored blazer with skinny pants or a skirt. A sport coat and slacks is a simple, yet refined choice.
-
Go for dark denim. Pairing dark denim with a nice blouse, a sport coat, or a blazer can result in a refined, yet casual look for your class reunion. Add a pair of nice shoes and some fun accessories, and you will be ready to socialize with your old classmates while looking stylish and laid back.
-
Don’t forget to accessorize. You can up the ante on a simple outfit with accessories. Try pairing a simple dress with a designer handbag or fine heirloom jewelry. For an understated, masculine look, add a simple chain bracelet or necklace. [7] X Research source [8] X Expert Source Kalee Hewlett

When choosing an outfit for your class reunion, make sure to pick something that makes you feel confident and that's age-appropriate.

You can also go with a business casual look, like a tailored blazer and skinny pants or a sports jacket and slacks. Or pairing dark denim with a nice blouse or blazer can give you a refined yet casual look. To learn how to dress for your reunion with the location in mind, keep reading!
