Ask CF Question

Hi College Fashion,

One of my professors has invited my class to their house for dinner to celebrate the end of the semester.  I would like to honor the occasion by dressing up a little more than I usually do for class, but I also don’t want to look too formal or overdone (it is their house, after all, not a black-tie event!) Also, for medical reasons, I prefer to keep my legs covered, so as much as I love the look of cute spring dresses, they aren’t really an option for me.  Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!!

Our Response

First off, I just wanted to say congrats on finishing the semester; I bet you’re so relieved that it’s over, and I hope you did well in your classes!

And, now that school finished for the time being, it’s time to focus on more important things, like what to wear to your prof’s end-of-semester party!

Personally, I think you’re right in your thinking that it’d be a good idea to dress up a little, but not too much. However, because the idea of “dressed up a little, but not too much” means something different to everyone, it can be hard to decide exactly what kind of outfit to put together for the occasion.

So, with that in mind, I’ve styled three classy and put-together, but not over-the-top, outfits for you below; just keep reading to see them!
