What to wear to your high school reunion

Leave the bandage dresses and sequin minis to the former Mean Girls. Stealing the spotlight at your high school reunion is just a matter of a few smart (and subtle) outfit choices.

Dress code: Cocktail or casual

Wear it with a t-shirt to dress it down, or a silk tank if the occasion's fancy.
