Dress Appropriately for Formal or Informal Dress as a Girl

There are so many types of dance, it could be formal, informal, or a themed dance. At first, you should understand that a formal dance is the complete opposite of an informal one. If you are not sure what to wear, ask someone who knows. If you are sure that it is a formal dance, then you can choose the formal dress, some guidelines below.

In a formal dance, you will need a formal dress or a fancy blouse with a skirt or dress slacks. Usually formal dress meams a gown or modest cocktail dress. If you are going with a date, try to coordinate colors; for example: if the boy were to wear a black suit with a red tie, you could wear a red dress. Also, put on some heels. If your feel get tired easily, instead with a nice shoe such as a flat. The school will post a list of attire that can and cannot be worn.
For hair and makeup, a formal dance means that you push the boat out a little bit. Wear more makeup, and make your hair really different and special. Usually girls go to the beauty parlor for a formal hairdo, or have someone create a different style for them at home.

Informal means less dressy, but you still want to look different from your everyday clothes. You could also wear some shorts, as dances get really hot. Primp a little bit; this isn't just a regular school day, it's a dance! Wear nice, well-fitting dark wash jeans with an appropriate but slightly dressy top and comfy, cute shoes. Just keep it appropriate! In addition, you can wear leggings or hardtails, with a dress top and dangling jewelry. You can also wear summer dresses. These are typically short (knee-length or higher) and made of dyed cloth, and can be considered casual.
In the informal dance, don't be afraid to try something different. Remember that a dance is a special event, and when you enter, you want everyone to look at you and make you feel as if you are the center of attention.
