I'm 15 and will be going to my high school Homecoming dance. My date will be wearing an Orange dress. I'm not sure of the exact shade. What can I wear that goes well with this? Thank you. ~~Hunter Begy

Advice from Melissa

Hi Hunter,

Wear a black suit or tux, white shirt, and give your date a white corsage. Whatever you do, stay away from trying to match the shade. If you wear black, you'll be classy and fit in no matter what.

Advice from Katie

Hunter,

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT, GO RETRO.

Black. Wear black. The pastel tux died with disco. If you give her a corsage, the flowers should be white.

You could wear an orange tie if you really want to "match" her- but matching is kind of lame. Black, with a white shirt, is always a good bet.


I’m starting 6th grade in my school. We have a dress code and cannot wear jeans or trainers and instead we have to dress smart. In my religion I cannot wear short tops, short skirts, or trousers and tops. My usual wear is skinny jeans and dresses. So, I’m kinda stuck! I have got a week left and I have no clothes to wear. It’s really depressing me because now I don’t want to go to school! Please help. ~~Ameena

Advice from Melissa

Hi Ameena,

Since you can wear dresses, that’s a starting point. There are many styles of dresses that are casual, fun, and not too short. You can also wear dresses over skinny pants (not jeans), adding, scarves, cool accessories, and different colored tights. There are also lots of things you can do with skirts (pencil skirts, tulip and A line) oxford style, shirts, and vests. Once you get through that first week or so, you may get some ideas from your friends and share or swap clothes as well. Good luck.

~~Melissa

Advice from Katie

Ameena,

Don't worry, conservative does not have to equal frumpy, Instead, consider the dress code a FASHION CHALLENGE and see what you can work with within the rules. Get creative. Embrace the turtleneck and wear fabulous shoes. In the meantime, shove all your super-trendy stuff under the bed and wear it on the weekends.

Hi, I'm starting highschool next month and want to change my style. In middle school I never had very great style. I want to know how to dress for my body type. I'm pretty curvy, and I have big thighs. What should I wear that looks good on my body?
