Party shoes
Dances are one of the best parts of growing up and being a teenager. In high school you get plenty of opportunities to attend a dance. Depending on the type of dance it is, you'll want to wear different outfits; it's important to know the dress code before you start planning what you're going to wear. You might even have the perfect outfit in your closet right now.
Casual Dance
A casual dance gives you the most leeway in deciding what to wear. Casual usually means that as long as it's within your school's dress code, anything goes. Jeans are probably your best bet, as they allow you to move and dance and hang out with your friends. Girls should choose a top that is a little different from what you wear every day. Wear flats so that your feet don't get sore from dancing in high heels. Guys should wear a button-up shirt or polo and stick to everyday shoes for footwear.
Semi-Formal Dance
A semi-formal dance is a good reason to get dressed up without having to go to the max. Girls should wear a skirt made of a material other than denim (try chiffon or rayon) or a dress that is knee-length or shorter with heels, but keep a pair of flats in your handbag so that you can change out of them if your feet get tired. Think of a semi-formal dress code as what you might wear to a fancy dinner party; nicer than jeans, but not as formal as prom dress. Guys should wear khakis and a button-up shirt. A tie isn't necessary but would still look great. Athletic shoes aren't appropriate. Try some casual black Skechers.
Formal Dance
A formal dance, like prom or homecoming, is a chance to go all-out with your clothing choices. Girls should head to a dress store and buy a floor-length dress. You can choose a knee-length dress as long as it has some special features, such as a tulle underlay or embellishments to make it definitively a formal dress. Heels are a must, so choose ones that aren't too high or are already broken in so your feet don't hurt all night. And choose a clutch as a handbag; it's much more formal than a shoulder bag. Guys should wear a suit and tie combination or a tuxedo. If you don't have a tux, you can rent one from a men's tuxedo rental store. Make it a special night by dressing up and looking great.
