We couldn’t be more excited for the end of term social this Saturday where we’ll be reliving the summer of 1963 where 17-year old Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman meets Johnny Castle in the classic story of Dirty Dancing.
We know you’ll have all of the moves covered so we wanted to provide a few styling tips on what to wear for the ladies and guys in case you were feeling stuck.
For the ladies who want to go more relaxed
Baby wore denim shorts a few times, including with this cute tangerine leotard when she’s dancing over the bridge to her lesson with Johnny. She also wore white sandshoes a lot. A comfortable alternative to heels, perhaps?
She also wore cute white cropped jeans with a white boho-type top when she tells Johnny how she feels. And she wore a stripey dress when she first comes across all of the resort staff dancing.
For the ladies who want to dress it up
For her performance with Johnny, Baby wore a gorgeous flowing number a little like these below with silver t-strap shoes to match if you want to dress it up.
Here are some ideas for shoes to go with the flowy dress.
For the boys
It’s a lot simpler for the boys. Wear anything black and you’ll be chanelling Johnny. He got around in black jeans and a black t-shirt or tank top for most of the movie. And a black shirt for the final performance. There may have been a white shirt in there as well.
Go Johnny!
We can’t wait to see what you all wear. We’re sure you’ll all look fabulous. And if anyone decides to carry a watermelon, you’ll receive a very special mention!
If you haven’t got your tickets yet, you can grab them here.
