Campus Style: Newark Hall Formal

Get your chips ready, because these outfits are definitely worth betting on.

Good food, wine and clothes bought just for the occasion, must mean one thing, hall formals are here! Newark Hall on Jubilee Campus had their first formal of the year and the Tab was there to spot the best casino-ready outfits.

Ben’s blue suit is a firm favourite for us – tapered to perfection – it makes for a contemporary choice for this formal occasion.  He teams up the suit with a slim black tie and trendy brown brogues from Churches for a stylish end, apt for a Hall Formal.

A little black dress works for any occasion. Saxon chose a dress with a glossy finish for that touch of glam and nude pumps which give her legs for days. It’s that simple to achieve a fabulous formal look.

An all black bow tie affair is the epitome of after-dark elegance. Rishi keeps things consistent from head to toe opting for a black suit and dress shoes, topping it off with a crisp white shirt. He adds a little character and colour with the use of his Gold ring and coloured bracelets.

Rav shows us how helpful the internet can be in assisting us with sartorial investments as he dons this pale blue suit purchased from an online suit retailer. He brightens up the affair with a pink shirt from Reiss and grey suede dress shoes; his lack of tie goes great lengths  to support his ‘too cool for school’ image.

Lace detailing can be tricky, but Cat wasn’t worried and pulled it off in her fabulous outfit. Her beige lace top gave this total black look the edge that it needed to be different, and it was in the best way.
