So, I just got an invitation to my 10-yr high school reunion.

I can’t believe it has already been this long. My one question (since they provided very few details in what I got) is what does one typically wear to such an event? It is going to be a dinner at a restaurant without any dress code (if you were to go there on a random night for dinner with your family or something)…maybe a little on the upscale side (dinner is $35, so not too expensive or anything), but not really what I would consider a fancy place. Whenever I see a reunion in a movie or TV show, it always looks more formal than I am picturing this as…so I figured I would try asking. I am a 27 yr old guy and the school is kinda in the styx, so most people there are not the most stylish people around either…I also get the impression I am one of the few who actually left town and made something of themselves.

When my hubby went to his reunion he wore a suit and so did many of the other men. Some just wore jeans and a T-shirt but probably didn’t own suits.
You’re gonna have a blast :D

i think you should wear smart shoes and nice jeans. buy a trendy new t-shirt (if you dont have one). and put a suit jacket over the top.
the suit jacket will make you look dressed up if thats appropriate, and if you feel too dressed up you can just take off the jacket.
that is what i would wear
if i was a boy

the girls will be in dresses btw if its summer so you couldn’t be too dressed up

My 10 year was about a month ago and I decided not to go, which turned out to be a good thing because the people who did go weren’t any of the ones I hung out with anyway so it would have been awkward. The reason I know who did go is because I saw the pics from the reunion on MySpace.
But anyway, nicnicnic above had a great suggestion on what to wear.
Good luck & have fun =]
