HELP--what to wear to Andover tour?

<p>For boys: most wore ties and navy blue blazer with khaki pants. It is more than dress code, but a sign of respect for the school. It works well for all schools. really, anything clean, neat that fits well should work fine. No jeans. Be comfortable.</p>

<p>For girls: My daughter wore grey pencil skirt, oxford shirt, argyle vest, Brooks Bros navy blue blazer and flats. Worked fine. Wear comfortable shoes, the tour takes an hour and is a lot of walking (for the whole family). Bring an umbrella or raincoat along if there is any chance of rain.</p>

<p>Thanks!
My tour was…not what I expected. My tour guide was a boy and he wore a Chaps polo ,khaki shorts and mandals. I couldn’t care less about his sex and attire, but the tour was pretty bad. I didn’t learn anything I didn’t know already and I didn’t get to see a dorm room, which I was looking forward to.</p>

<p>The tour being bad wasn’t completely his fault ,of course. I was pretty nervous and when he tried to make banal conversation, I squawked back mono-syllable answers.</p>

<p>HarvardRox1199 you are from Ohio?</p>

<p>As much as appearance determines our impressions and opinions of each other. I believe that your words and actions during the tour and interview are more important than what you chose to wear. Especially at a school like Andover where there is no enforced dress code I don’t think they put as much stock in your appearance, though of course you always want to put your best face forward.</p>
