Being prepared and planning ahead what you will wear to a class reunion can help reduce the amount of stress and anxiety that you feel about attending a class reunion. Most people look back at their school years and think of how uncomfortable they were or how they wanted to fit in better. Most see their class reunion as a way to show off their new self-confidence and show that they are proud of their body and the way they look. But, it’s not just for people who want to show off their body, the people who want to camouflage their body flaws and look better now that they may be heavier after having kids or just getting older should also plan ahead on what they will wear to the class reunion. There are certain ways that you can dress that will help both flatter the body you have and even help hide the flaws that you don’t like.
So, if you are going to be attending a class reunion in the near future, here are some clothing options that you should consider wearing.
The Little Black Dress
The little black dress is always a great option for any evening event such as a class reunion. It is something that will always be in style and will always fit in. Plus, a black dress can help flatter your body as black is slimming. To go for even more slimming effect, try a black wrap dress. Wrap dresses look good on just about every body style and keeping in a neutral color like black will make it even more figure flattering. If you want to add some color into your outfit, then add a splash of color with your shoes. Try a pump or dressy sandal in silver, gold, purple, or even red.
Elegant Suit
If you want to cover up more of your body and come across as sophisticated, then wear an elegant evening suit to the class reunion. Choosing a suit that comes with a skirt is a good option to add a little more drama to the suit. But, if you are uncomfortable showing your legs, a pantsuit will also work. Make sure that the suit fits you properly and does not make you appear dowdy. It should still show off your curves but in a sophisticated way. Add some color to the outfit by adding a colored lacy camisole underneath the suit.
Sundress or Skirt With a Blouse
If you are having a more casual class reunion, try wearing a sundress if it is warmer weather or wear a casual skirt with a blouse. Pick a sundress that will help hide your flaws. A-line dresses and skirts are a good pick for most body types. If you don’t like you arms so much, try to find a cute, casual dress that has short sleeves or three-quarter length sleeves. Wearing a dress or skirt even in at a casual class reunion, can help you to look more polished and put together than throwing on a pair of capris or khakis. For a casual class reunion, you want to leave the jewelry and accessories real simple like diamond stud earrings and a small dainty bracelet.
Random Tips for What to Wear to a Class Reunion:
*Make sure that the outfit you do choose to wear fits well and is neatly cleaned and pressed. You should not wear wrinkled or dirty clothes to a class reunion.
*Make sure that you are properly groomed. Get your hair done, get a manicure and pedicure and your eyebrows waxed. This can help make your outfit for the class reunion look even better on you.
*Make sure that the outfit that you choose for the class reunion is still you and fits your personality. Yes, you may want to impress your old classmates, but you should still remain true to yourself. If you don’t usually dress so sexy and you are more conservative, then you can go out of your comfort zone a little bit, but not so much that you feel uncomfortable and stiff the whole night.
*The right accessories can make your outfit. Go ahead and buy some new jewelry or a new evening handbag. They do not have to be expensive, but can be up-to-date and trendy to add a little more style to your outfit.
