If the title of this article captured your attention, you are asking a great question, “What should I wear to a college fair?” or “What should I wear to this campus visit?” The answer is not always obvious based on what I see teenagers (and sometimes their parents) wearing to these events.
NOT
Here are some quick tips and I will start with what not to wear:
- Cut-off jeans
- Shirts with the backs cut out
- Graphic T-shirts with obscene or explicit language/images
- Heels that are 6 inches high (when your feet hurt, it’s hard to listen!)
Hopefully, these brief tips do not leave you saying “I need to go shopping!”
YES
Here are a few suggestions for what you can wear:
- Comfortable, clean shoes
- A collared shirt
- Pants, belted at the waist, i.e. not sagging
- Jeans are OK as long as they are worn neatly!
A good rule of thumb if you’re still wondering . . . . when in doubt, dress up!
