Re: What to wear to college bar?

  • Why are you going to a college bar?

  • Going to visit. Does it matter?
  • I would just wear jeans, sneakers/some casual/cable knit sweater or casual shirt.

  • Thanks! I'm old but don't want to stick out *that* much. :)
  • I wouldn't wear anything I cared about...all the bars I went to in college were dives.

    LOL, this is what I was thinking.  I can just imagine myself getting all uptight about beer on my shoes.  Ha ha.

    OP, I guess it depends on the type of bar it is (not just college, but if it's a dive bar).  If it's a dive bar, I'd wear jeans and a shirt you don't care about getting spilled on (assuming it will be crowded and people might be squeezing by you with drinks and whatever).  Same goes for the shoes.

  • I would wear jeans, flats and a cute top.  It will be warm in the bar; I would think.
  • flat or wedge sandals, jeans, cute top, fun jewelry. Keep it simple and something you can stand in for a long time.

    This! I live in a college town, that's pretty much the norm.

  • Ha, wow, styles certainly differ by locale.  Bright colored cocktail dresses and sky high heels are the norms in college bars here.  Only if you're over 30 do you dare wear jeans, even then you'd better be in heels, a sequined or silky top, with a blazer over top, and great earrings...so that's my rec.

    This is 90% of the college bars near me too.  The other 10% are dive/hippie spots.

    Where the heck is this?

    I'd feel like the biggest loudest trampiest cougar on earth if I went to a college dive bar looking like that.
