For most of us, classes are back in session in little more than a month. This means not only late nights at the library, but also late nights at parties and cab rides home with strangers who you hope are going to the same place you are. With that I bring you the top 5 things not to wear to a party..
5. A Sombrero
Unless you are from Mexico, or are going to a Mexican themed party, this can’t be pulled off. It may look great on your head after pre-gaming, but if your friends care about you they will make you take it off. Leave the sombrero at home until the night in Mexico party because let’s face it; you will need the sombrero that night.
4. A bandana
You are not staring in a cowboy film where you need to pull a bandana over your face, and you are certainly not wearing one around your head to look like a biker. So why would you want to wear one in the first place?
3. Any shirt with a stupid saying
When people leave the house for the party, do they actually look at what they are wearing? A guy who wears a shirt that says, “I’m down to fudge,” wouldn’t make any girl in their right mind want to leave with him that night. Does he think he’s the only guy trying to get laid that night? Leave the shirt at home buddy, and let your game do the talking.
2. A guitar around your neck
This isn’t Animal House where the guy is serenading a bunch of girls in the stairwell. You are at a college party, so if you live in the frat house, don’t run up and get your guitar, because some guy will come and take it from you and beat the living hell out of it.
1. Ed Hardy
Unless you are auditioning to be on the next season of the Jersey Shore, leave the Ed Hardy at home. There are multiple reasons not to wear Ed Hardy to a party. One, like I said, it looks like your auditioning for the Jersey Shore. Two, every guido that is there will be wearing it, and three, it’s a party, so don’t wear Ed Hardy.
