What to wear for orientation week Forum

Thanks for the advice guys.

I will probably just go in jeans.

In all seriousness, mine emailed me and told me casual. If you want to be safe, just do relaxed biz casual and cover your bases.

Does "casual" include belly dancer/genie costumes? because you should wear that.

Unless you are taking a picture, casual is fine, but I wouldn't look like a slob.

You have a week of orientation? I just have a day. I hate orientation activities though.

The real question is what backpack are you getting?

It cannot be worse than undergraduate orientation.

My UG orientation was only two days..

My law school is three..

Backpacks are for proles. A nice, leather messenger bag is TCR.

I was planning to wear a suit but my school requires us to wear a special tee shirt on the first day

Does it matter? If it's too large for your messenger bag, hire some poor to carry them around for you.

Are v-neck t-shirts frowned upon in law school? I have quite a lot of chest hair, if that matters. I have a closet full that I regularly wear and will be sad to part with them.

Not a flame. Entirely serious. I'm also married, so I don't care about scaring off women who dislike chest hair.

I mean... how are you going to keep the women off of you?

This thread is fucking stupid, btw.

Hopefully the prominent wedding ring will help. If not, I guess no more v-necks. But are v-necks considered sloppy? Everyone at my UG dresses super casual so I haven't given my clothes much thought until recently.

V necked shirts are not considered sloppy. V necks with a ton of chest hair poking up over the top, however, would be considered sloppy. I'm sorry.

If you like layering, one idea is to wear your v neck t-shirts over a crew necked shirt. This can be a really nice, informal-but-not-sloppy look.

My school also emailed me and suggested business casual.

[sinfiery]

i will probably wear vnecks and jeans every single day until OCI

Welp, time to swallow some sadness. I'll just be in the corner having an existential crisis.

I like the cut of your jib.

Hi guys,

I'll be starting school in about 2 weeks, and I'm wondering what to wear for orientation week

Would a suit and bow-tie be overdoing it? I was thinking about maybe scaling it back to a regular tie, but I'm not sure. I don't want potential classmates / competitors to think I'm sloppy

Thoughts?

edit: but seriously, do ppl show up in jeans and t-shirts or what?

Contrary to popular belief, this is very important. I'd say you can't go wrong with business professional. I remember during our first day of orientation someone wore jeans and a t-shirt and we never saw that guy again. Rumor has it that his admission was rescinded because of his sloppy appearance - something about him not taking legal education seriously. Moreover, I also heard that he didn't get a refund on his tuition either, except for the grand the school gave him to buy a suit and some decent dress shirts, shoes, and ties.

You're joking, right? That's ridiculous, and I wouldn't even want to be associated with that law school.

This is obviously a joke.

Eh, yeah, gave it a bit more thought and realized that.
