Dear Reunion Committee

Dear Reunion Committee,

   What should I wear to Reunion?  I want to look nice, but I also want to be comfortable. 

Sincerely,

Fashionable 40 Something

Dear Fashionable,

We completely understand.  We have received a lot of questions about attire at reunions.  Here are a few pointers:
  • This is a party.  It is supposed to be fun.  Dress comfortably and be ready to have a good time.   We will welcome you whatever you are wearing. 
  • Here are some more concrete suggestions:
    • Lunches:  The lunches are in the tent on Old Campus.  Think shorts, jeans, maybe a collared shirt,  maybe not. For women, summer dresses might also fit the bill.
    • Friday dinner:  This is in the tent. What you wore during the day works just fine.  Some might dress up a little bit, probably not a lot of ties.  It is supposed to get a little cooler in the evening, too, so a sweater might be appropriate.   Bring your dancing shoes.
    • The Saturday dinner is in Commons.  It will be a very nice event.  Some may feel the desire to wear a coat and tie or a snazzy dress.  Others, will be a bit more casual.  Again, dancing shoes are a must.
  • We have a guarantee from President Levin that there will be no rain, so no need for foul weather gear.  (Seriously, check the weather by clicking here before you come.)
Yours,

The Committee
