WHAT TO WEAR TO A COLLEGE FRAT PARTY

Survived rush week? It's time for your first frat party.

Get ready for a night of antics that will likely include fighting over the last lite beer and braving impossibly sticky floors. The frat scene leans more casual, however if you want to make an entrance, it's time to raise the bar. Think microscopic mini skirts, head-turning silhouettes and dresses that inspire at least a few drunken confessions.

This is your guide to building the perfect frat party outfit.

One less headache, because you'll probably have one the next day x

MINI DRESSES THAT NEVER MISS

A mini dress is the ultimate frat standout look and one of the easiest party outfits to throw together.

It's the one piece that requires zero styling effort, just add boots, sneakers or whatever shoes you're willing to sacrifice to the basement floor.

Need some help? We love the Shanti mini dress for its dramatic cowl neckline and snatching mesh fabric. It's the easiest black dress to wear and rewear all season. No one will remember you're an outfit repeater after all that mystery punch.

Co-ordinated Chaos

Enter the matching set: think of it as coordinated chaos. Your GPA might be hanging by a thread, but your outfit doesn’t have to be.

The Rodeo set is your ticket to a wild night. Buckle hardware, dramatic cleavage and a corset top that cinches your waist, paired with a mini that shows off just enough skin to make an entrance.

That's the beauty of a two piece, you get twice the outfit and twice the options. Swap the top for a tank between the darty and the afters, and you're ready to go. If only calculus was this easy.

Being a little overdressed has never looked this good.

STATEMENT TOP & Shorts

Statement tops are in session.

Our campus favorite, the Roc top, pairs with just about everything in your closet. Sequin fabric and a fitted silhouette make it as easy to dress up as it is to dress down. The Roc shorts match for a set that gives as much drama as your group chat. Toss on a pair of heels and pray they survive the night.

Need more inspiration? The Sola mesh corset is another go-to, effortless with micro shorts for hot nights or dressed up with capris come fall. No overthinking required.

Consider it extra credit for your outfit.

MESMA CORSET GOLD Corset

The Perfect Top & Skirt

A mini skirt and top combo carries more power than a fake ID.

The Monty mini skirt is the perfect building block for any frat outfit. Add a statement top, like the Mesma Corset in gold for a look that's equal parts polished and provocative, sequins and shimmer included. Pair minimal tops with statement skirts or vice versa, we have it all.

Consider it extra credit for your outfit.

MINKA MINI DRESS MOJAVE Mini Dress

PRINTS THAT DEMAND ATTTENTION

Like us, you love to make a statement. And what easier way to do that than with a statement print?

Animal prints instantly make an outfit feel louder, hotter and bolder. For anyone that considers leopard a neutral, one print is about to become your new staple.

The Minka mini dress has been a crowd favorite for a while, and it's easy to see why. Sheer mesh and a mojave print drape into a flirty silhouette that leans into your animalistic nature.

Our wildest print for your wildest nights.

WHAT’S TRENDING ON CAMPUS

We went straight to the source (our interns) for a debrief on what’s actually being worn on campus. Here’s what we predict will be spotted all over your Pinterest feed and the party scene this fall:

  1. CAVALLI ENERGY – Loud prints, silky fabrics, gold hardware, and absolutely anything but minimal. If it looks like it belongs in Miami or on a Y2K runway, you’re on the right track. 
  2. POLKA DOTS – Polka dots are still everywhere, especially on tiny shorts, flirty minis, and matching sets made for behaving badly in. Sweet in theory, spicy in practice.
  3. ANIMAL PRINT – Leopard, zebra and snakeskin are considered neutral this fall. Pair with anything but tame behavior. 
  4. MATCHING SETS – You shortcut to looking put together in record time. Makes a head to toe statement. Set your wardrobe up for success.
  5. MICRO EVERYTHING – Shorts are getting shorter. Skirts are getting smaller. Pair them with corsets and fitted tops that cinch the waist. Your going out uniform just got smaller.
  6.  WESTERN – Don’t hang up that cowboy hat yet. Expect western details to keep showing up well beyond the themed party – belts, hardware, denim, lace-up corsets, and cowboy boots included.

FAQs

What do girls wear to a frat party?

Depends on the night, but you’ll usually see skirts paired with corsets, minidresses, and mini shorts. Opt for anything casual that still turns heads – the hemlines are short and the nights are long.

Can you wear jeans to a frat party?

Yes, you can definitely wear jeans to a frat party, especially after the weather starts to cool. Pair with a corset top or plunging neckline for maximum impact.

Do frat parties usually have themes?

Yes – some common frat themes are: Western, Rave, Anything but Clothes, White Lies, Wigs, Heaven & Hell, Bikinis & Beanies, Wizards, USA, Jungle, Festival, Risky Business, and Christmas (also known as Sexmas.) They don’t sound real to us either.

What is a satellite party?

A satellite party is one that takes place outside the frat house. Think a frat party, but under the radar.

What shoes should you wear to a frat party?

Frat parties are notoriously less than spotless. Sneakers with jeans are a safe bet. If you’re wearing a skirt or shorts, boots are also a go-to. Save your best heels for the bar.
