Hey everyone! I'm going on an athletic visit to a college soon and I'm not sure what to wear. I want to make a good impression, but still be comfortable. What do you guys recommend for the visit? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there! It's exciting that you're going on a college athletic visit. The key is to strike a balance between looking presentable and feeling comfortable. I'd recommend following these guidelines for your visit:
1. Casual but neat: Wear something casual, yet neat and presentable. You can't go wrong with khaki pants or dark jeans, paired with a nice shirt or blouse, depending on your preference.
2. School spirit: If you already have some apparel from the college you're visiting, consider wearing a shirt with the school logo or colors. It shows you're enthusiastic about the school and its athletic program.
3. Dress in layers: Be prepared for varying temperatures, especially if you'll be both indoors and outdoors. Consider wearing a light sweater or jacket that you can easily take off if needed.
4. Comfortable shoes: You'll likely be walking around campus quite a bit, so make sure you wear shoes that are both presentable and comfortable. Athletic shoes or clean sneakers should be fine, but make sure they're in good condition.
5. Bring workout clothes: Since it's an athletic visit, you might have an opportunity to participate in a practice or workout with the team. Bring appropriate workout clothes and shoes just in case you get the chance to join in.
6. Consider the weather: Make sure to check the weather forecast in advance and dress accordingly. If it's going to be cold or rainy, bring a coat, hat, and/or umbrella to stay warm and dry.
Remember, first impressions matter, and your outfit can help set the tone. Dressing appropriately and comfortably will allow you to focus on enjoying the visit and making a good impression on the coaching staff and team members. Good luck and have a great time!
