WHAT TO WEAR: Formal

May 3rd, 2016 at 2:00am

When it comes to college, prom and homecoming are no longer. Instead, we all get excited for fraternity and sorority formals! No matter the occasion, finding the perfect outfit is always the first thing on our minds (at least for us girls). Although finding a dress or suit is not to the same extent as prom shopping, it is still a huge part of the process.

This Fashionista decided to wear a bright pop of color for a fraternity’s spring formal. Instead of just sticking with the typical little black dress, she switched things up for a change and went with a more colorful dress. Staying simple is not always the answer; it is good to take your style out-of-the-box! This dress was paired perfectly with a nude heel that did not distract from the abstract prints on the dress and made for an overall cohesive look.

When in doubt, always stick with a dress that you feel comfortable in and that flatters your personal body type. Whether you wear a flowy, bodycon or little black dress, there is nothing stopping you from looking your best! This bodycon dress worked perfectly for this Fashionista and flattered her very well. A happy and confident Fashionista makes for a good night at the end of the day!

One Simple Change: To take this look from formal night to a day brunch, lose the heels and trade them for a simple pair of sandals. Then, throw on a light-colored cardigan to tone down the brightness of the dress. Adding these two items will make your look more appropriate for brunch and make the switch from night to day look effortless.
