Fall is just around the corner and summer activities have come to an end. Schools and Colleges are back in the running. With all this work, you need a break on the weekends to let loose and have some fun.What better way to enjoy your weekend with a couple of friends in the bowling alley? It’s fun and competitive.
Dos and Donts
There are always some things you have to keep in mind regarding your outfits for certain occasions. While bowling is a very casual and fun occasion, there are certain things you should steer clear of. Nobody likes a fashion disaster and that’s not a secret.
- Try to wear knee length dresses/skirts or shorter when you go for bowling. While long dresses are still in fashion, you don’t want to trip over your dress and ruin a fun night.
- Avoid wearing heels! Heels and that slippery bowling floor is definitely not a good combo.
- Sneakers or joggers are your best friends when it comes to any kind of sporty activity.
- Keep a light material jacket or a shrug with you incase it gets too chilly.
- If you want some post worthy material for your socials, dress to impress.
