<p>hey!
So I was just wondering what would be appropriate to wear to a re visit day?
Does it have to be as formal, as you've already been accepted?
Any advice would be a huge help!
Thanks!</p>
<p>Not unless it’s a formal school. When in doubt, be “business casual” or - look at Youtube videos and the viewbook and dress similar to the students already on campus.</p>
<p>thanks!
i’ll try and youtube the schools :)</p>
<p>I would recommend maybe a polo and some khaki shorts</p>
<p>That’s a good point @Groton. Polo and khaki’s is a very safe choice and you can’t go wrong with that.</p>
<p>As the objective of the revisit is to decide whether you will fit in at the school, I suggest you dress like the students at that school. Follow the schools’s dress code guidelines.</p>
<p>I dressed nicely at my revisit days…a cute sun dress. Because the schools had dress codes, I decided I’d rather look nicer than the students than look worse than the students. For girls, I highly recommend wearing skirts and dresses. But, if you don’t want to, MAKE SURE YOU’RE IN DRESS CODE. I know of kids who just wore track suits…that’s a no-no, even at a school with no dress code.</p>
<p>Have to say that i overdressed when it came to revisits and really stood out! My advice: semi casual dress. This means for guys a casual button down tucked in dark jeans. Girls, anything that doesn’t look over the top</p>
<p>Relax & remember that you’ve ALREADY been admitted. You’re not being interviewed, but dress respectfully.</p>
<p>Now it’s the school’s turn to dress up to impress you. Enjoy.</p>
<p>Ok, no laughing, but what about the parents?? Especially mom! I don’t want to look silly and I certainly don’t want to embarrass my DC. Any thoughts on the paretns who look out of place and why??</p>
<p>The safe thing for parents is to dress at least to the level of the school’s dress code, i.e. if the boys are required to wear a jacket, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the dads to wear a jacket. At the fall parents weekend, I see moms wear pants or skirts. Wear what you would expect a neatly dressed teacher to wear.</p>
<p>Again, I really wouldn’t stress about it. The spotlight will not be on the school not you. Congratulations on your child being accepted!</p>
<p>The schools we are revisiting indicated in their materials what the suggested dress was for both students and usually adults. “Formal” school = formal dress; “Casual” school = casual dress. I would suggest casual is not less that khakis/polo for boys, and comparable for girls.</p>
<p>Essentially, students should follow the dress code of the school being visited. Parents should wear the same. An indication of appropriate dress should be in the materials received in connection with the revisit.</p>
