Class Reunion Clothes that Work for “Night, Day, and Facebook”

Are you going to your high school reunion? If so, what are you going to wear? The Wall Street Journal says the same things that set our sartorial compass askew when we were teenagers—“the desire to impress mixed with feelings of insecurity”—can also lead us down the wrong path as adults. But don’t worry—the Journal puts together a guide of “clothes that work for night, day, and Facebook.”

One tip is to wear something from your existing wardrobe instead of spending a fortune on something new: “It’s better to wear something comfortable from your existing wardrobe than something new that might be stiff or make you more self-conscious because you haven’t test-driven it.” Also, if you’ve “put on pounds” since high school, go for tonal combinations.
