How Plussize Women Should Dress for a Saturday Alumni Brunch
The dreaded high school reunion. Or maybe, it's the highly anticipated reunion. That invitation is coming either way. And no matter what high school experience you had, that invite likely inspires feelings of anxiety and confusion — as you wonder what to wear to a high school reunion.
I mean, is it a general rule that reunion information has to be as vague and confusing as possible or what? As if there isn't enough concern around meeting up with people you (probably, most-likely, almost definitely) put in your past for a reason.
But then again, it could be fun. It could give you the chance to reconnect with some old friends. It could be a chance to prove, hey, you turned out alright, or even just give you a break from the office, or the baby, or anything else that's become your life since leaving your adolescence for the "real world."

Maybe it's your 10-year, maybe it's your 30th. The numbers don't matter. What does matter is how much you stress out over wanting to look your best.
With so much left up in the air regarding the high school reunion dress code, there are only a few ways to ensure no Romy & Michele-esque scenario goes down. And that starts with being comfortable in clothing, sure, but also in your own skin.
Sure-fire fail: Going over the top
Don't go over-the-top to impress anyone other than yourself. If you love rockin' a mini on the regular, rock on. If you don't normally teeter around in heels, but strap them on because of some silly idea of necessity…you're likely to be stuck on the sidelines all night. Or worse, you'll lose your balance and take a dive into the punch bowl. Just say no.

Don't be afraid to ask
Reach out to your old friends to touch base on their planned dress code. If a group of you set a dress code, you won't stick out. And, your 'grams will look amazing.
Don't ignore your style
Know your style. Know your body. Know what works for you and, most importantly, what makes you feel good. Because when you feel good, you're happier.
Don't forget to check the location
Dress to the location of the event. You likely weren't given a dress code at all (I know I wasn't) so if it's in a local bar, you might consider the attire to be a little more casual than, say, one being held in a ballroom or country club.
Don't overlook the LBD
When in doubt, wear black. It's slimming, eternally glamorous — even in the most casual of pieces — and works for every skin tone.
If you need some more concrete advice, you're in luck. Here are our top picks for foolproof high school reunion fashion ideas.
Top high school reunion outfit picks
10-year reunion: Sophistication is your answer
I love this sophisticated version of sexy for a 10-year reunion. It's bold without being over the top. The vibe here is, "I am powerful, hear me roar (b*tches)."
20-year reunion: You still got it
At your 20-year high school reunion, you have nothing to prove — well, except for that you're super hot and not afraid to show it. A little sparkle and a little cleavage tells that story perfectly.
30-year reunion: I woke up like this
Elegant and tasteful is the name of the game at your 30-year high school reunion. Try an LBD paired with an easy updo.
40-year high school reunion: No frump here
Steer clear of frumpy, matronly styles for your 40-year reunion. I'm not sure why designers make those dresses honestly — shapeless coverups look good on no one. Choose sleek instead. Show off the shape that you have. A jumpsuit is an excellent choice.
