Striped ties began as signifiers of membership in a university, club or military regiment. Today, they still work extremely well at club or academic events. Depending on your major, you may have class presentations that will require you to dress up. These kinds of presentations are especially common if you're pursuing a business degree like finance or marketing. Wearing an ironed shirt and tie, in some cases even a suit, is always a smart presentation decision even if it's not required.
It lets people know you care about the presentation and naturally makes you look more authoritative. Dressing up isn't just for the people in the audience either. It will often give you a little added confidence too, which is always welcome. Keep these tips in mind and you won't look like a fish out of water when it comes time to look your collegiate best.
At some point in your college career, you're probably going to attend a job fair. Finding a job post graduation is the whole point, isn't it? Treat a job fair like you are meeting your future employer for the first time. Standard job interview attire should rule the day. At the least wear a shirt and necktie, and in most instances a suit. This will help you avoid misplacing your valuables while making your rounds. Give yourself enough time to get ready for the big event and make sure to get plenty of sleep the night before.
Eat some healthy food and drink lots of water throughout the day so you have plenty of energy to get through the night. You only get to go to your first formal once, after all—so a little planning ahead can help you do just that. Give yourself a few hours or an entire day just to shop online catalogs and explore the latest trends.
Ideally, at the beginning or earlier than college formal season— or you risk the chance of missing out on your size and the best selection.
Pack a pair of comfy flats or sandals to change out into and out of if your feet get tired. That little extra effort will pay off when you realize you can dance all night without pain and actually enjoy the party. You can get together with friends for champagne or light cocktails while you all get ready or host a gathering that ends at a specific time before everyone takes an Uber or car ride over to the event.

Everyone you run into is either enjoying the weather of their Senior Spring Semester or hitting the books pretty hard, preparing for final exams or proofreading their final papers. I definitely fall into the latter category, as I am not a senior and I have a lot of final exams and papers coming up.
But every could has a silver lining, and final exams mean that summer is almost here! The Harvard Library system is one of the most extensive in the world. I was looking for a specific set of newspaper articles from this past week so I visited the Houghton Library. And, as I found out upon my visit, they take that priceless aspect pretty seriously.
Houghton is open to the public, but being allowed to research items is almost as difficult as getting through airport security.
The staff was very strict about how items are treated, although they were incredibly friendly and helpful with my research. Check out the Houghton Library blog for more information! Twinkling fairy lights line the patio; a grand white tent sits on the grass covering a flawless hardwood dance floor. A live swing band plays great music that can be heard all along the river until 2AM. The invitation to Fete was slipped underneath our doorway about a week before the event!
This was my first time attending and I loved the live band, the swing dancing, the decorations, and of course the chocolate covered strawberries. Wish me luck! Reading period is always filled with end-of-the-year activities, and one of the major traditions is that each house hosts its own formal dance.
As my roommates and I were getting ready, shoe selection was determined by whether we could wear them for a whole night on the dance floor read: flats. The formals are also attended by all members of the House, including new freshmen who just got into Dunster, tutors, the Resident Dean, and our House masters!
Admittedly really bad shot, but gives you an idea of what the tent looked like! There is also a guest night every term, which is even more formal, and includes pre dinner drinks and post dinner coffee and port. Pembroke In first year formal hall is compulsory three times a week. Formal hall is not very fancy at all- you just have to wear your gown. The atmosphere and food is generally very good. Queen's We have formal every Saturday. They're always delicious and well attended.
It is an excellent social event to attend. Regent's Park Formal hall is on Friday evenings. The cost has gone up significantly over the past couple of years, without an increase in food quality which is annoying, but since we have to pay a compulsory meal charge it's a good way to spend it. It is BYOB.
Somerville We have formal about once a week. Most people go once or twice a term - some go more, some less. Because we don't have them every day, they're a bit of an event, and everyone makes an effort to dress nicely and bring drinks.

It's a really nice occasion and very sociable also good for dates Christmas Formal is exceptional and one of the highlights of the year - it often includes a 'wine enhanced' speech from our Principal and some carols.
St Benet's Unknown St Catz We have formal hall every night, but at Catz they are very informal in atmosphere - no gowns needed. The atmosphere is vibrant because of the large hall and lamps on each table. Formal tends to be pretty packed so the atmosphere is great and the round tables encourage discussion. Guest dinners are also a lot of fun and also great value for money!
St Hugh's Formal hall takes place once a week, usually on Tuesday evening. They are well attended, though it's best if you get a group of your friends together to all go or you might be lonely.
You only need to wear smart clothes, no gowns, and it's quite laid-back. Food is usually very good and slightly unusual so it's exciting to try out. Sometimes the food isn't so great but the menu is released in advance and there are curry nights every other Tuesday. They have a nice atmosphere and are well attended on Thursdays, due to free wine formals for societies, and usually packed out on Sundays when the choir sings the grace.
