The Night Out
Don’t:
Him– What you wear to class is not appropriate for a night out. Pairing a super casual hoodie with a plain T-shirt shows you just don’t care enough to take the extra five minutes to spruce up. Dingy sneakers and baggy jeans are definitely a no-go for the night out, so leave them at home where they belong.
Her– A sexy, feminine look for going out does not have to include a mega miniskirt. When you want to look good for a night on the town, make sure that you can bend over without mooning the entire bar and that you can last longer than an hour in your flashy heels.
Do:
Him– After your last Friday class, you decide to go out for a night on the town. Go from a day to a night ensemble with a sharp button down and the jeans you already have on. Or, change into a sleek pair of gray jeans. Dress up the outfit with classier kicks, keeping a casual and approachable look.
Her– Keep it sexy and classy with black skinny jeans topped off with sharp pumps. Let yourself sparkle with a playful top that gives the outfit a splash of color. Leaving your hair down and natural makes getting ready quick and easy, while softening your look.
The Date Night
Don’t:
Him– Avoid distracting colors that risk burning your date’s corneas. Polos can be an option for date night, but wear one in a neutral tone (this does not mean pink, bro). Jeans can be comfortable and appropriate, but be sure to wear ones that have a higher quality or clean-looking wash rather than your everyday blues.
Her– Stay away from wearing something too form-fitting or short. Leave a bit to the imagination when you choose what you are going to wear for date night. Plus, more coverage will help you avoid constant readjustments while you’re out.
Do:
Him– On date night, think polished and approachable. Roll up the sleeves of a light colored button down and pair it with some clean-cut jeans. You will be more comfortable while maintaining a sophisticated evening look. Make sure your shoes are scuff-free, and don’t forget about cologne.
Her– Every girl wants to stand out when she is on a date. Change up the look from your typical nightlife outfit by using softer tones and colors. Remember that subtle details can make a difference. When wearing a simple dress, spice it up with some accessories. If you go for a more daring ensemble, keep jewelry and shoes dainty and simple.
The Internship
Him– Don’t wear jeans. No matter how chummy you think you are with your boss, this can only make you look unprofessional. You want people to take you seriously, so unroll those sleeves, iron those pants and leave the boat shoes at home.
Her– Don’t wear that black miniskirt. Even if you can rock it, it’s just not a work-appropriate item. Covering up your shoulders with a blazer won’t hide the fact you’re showing too much leg. If you’re not sure if your skirt is too short for work, be on the safe side and wear pants.
Do:
Him– Do dress the part. Guys don’t have a lot of options for office wear, but a few accents can help. Swap that white collared shirt for a bold button down, and classic ties that will impress your boss.
Do:
Him– Do keep it simple. You don’t need a three-piece suit to look good in lecture, but putting in a little extra effort in the morning will impress your classmates. Choose jeans that fit you well — don’t bother with hipster-skinny or extreme baggy jeans.
Her– Do stay natural. Classy and casual don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Skinny jeans are flattering for almost everyone, and with all the colors, patterns and styles, you’re sure to find one that fits your look. Pair some with your favorite cardigan and a comfy scarf.
