<p>It really depends on the vibe of the party/where you live/type of university you go to. I go to a school in the south, and for sorority girls, if it’s out to bars–black bandage skirts and a flowy top, jeans and boots and a cute top, or a dress, and so on. You don’t see that many girls wearing heels because we ALL know drunk or walking long distances in those suckers will kill you. If you’re not the sorority type, you are most likely still following that trend, but most people keep it fancy up top, not bottom, unless you’re feeling dressy.
Frat parties, same attire, unless it’s themed. Mostly dresses or skirts, not that many people wear heels, especially if there’s dancing. Smart.
And if you’re going to a house party, muuuch more casual here. Combat boots and calf length boots are cute and comfy, just wear a cute top and put on some makeup! Really, anything you feel confident in, you’ll be good. </p>
