Everyone knows that when you’re dressing up for a school event, it’s completely different than dressing up for a night out. At school events, you’re with parents, classmates, teachers, and professionals.

Although we completely agree that you should be allowed to wear whatever you want, there’s always a time and place for every outfit. At school, it’s important to make a good first impression, and therefore important to have the right outfit.

We’ve already covered school outfits for daytime, but now it’s time to see some night ideas. Here are three chic looks that would appropriate to wear to any school event. Scroll down to see them all:

Maybe you were invited to an award show ceremony where you are going to be recognized for all your hard work. If that’s the case, you want to look professional and studious. You want others to know that you take your education seriously but also value your sense of style.

That being said, it’s perfectly fine to wear a skirt. A pencil skirt is always a safe bet, and it’s even better to wear one in a color that stands out. With this specific outfit, you can wear a bold red/orange skirt. Pair it up with a cute blouse or button-up shirt, worn tucked into your skirt. To make your outfit look a little more complete, a cute belt will help too.

As for shoes, pumps or kitten-heeled shoes can help your outfit look even better. Because you’ll be at a school function, you want to make sure that your feet are as comfortable as possible, so two inch heels would work well.

You don’t want to sacrifice style, so accessories will be your best friends. A nice statement necklace, a bracelet. and even a watch will make your outfit complete. A little clutch also helps to finish the look. Now, you are ready to accept your award!
