What to Wear? What to Wear?

Well, I know it has been a long time since I have written, there has been so much going on in my seminar and with my internship that I have not been posting what I have been writing down.

One thing that always comes up in the Washington Semester is how to dress for class. There are three styles in which you will be asked to dress for your seminars in the Washington Semester. These styles are business formal, business casual, and casual.

First, business formal, for males business formal is a full suit which includes a button up, suit jacket, dress pants, a tie and dress shoes. For females there are more guidelines. Women can also wear full business suits; this would either be with a skirt or pants. I female business suit would include a business jacket, button up, blouse or nice top, then a nice pair of pants or a skirt, and business shoes. Girls can also wear business dresses; these would normally be a bit above knee length or knee length or longer. Business dress of course would be partnered with business shoes. With most of these outfits females tend to wear stockings or tights.

Next is business casual. Business casual is always harder to define. For males business casual would mean dress pants but not suit pants, so it can include khakis or other pants which are not jean material. Males would also wear a button up but you do not need a tie or suit jacket. For females it gets a little more difficult to define. Skirts are still fine but not miniskirts, I would say that if you put your hands down at your side and your skirt is above where about your fingertips hit you will probably want to not wear it to a business casual class. When it comes to pants it is just the same as for guys, no jean material everything other than that is pretty much acceptable.

For casual it is really whatever you would wear to classes at your normal class at your homeschool. I would personally suggest not wearing pajama like clothes.
