Hello Davidson ladies,
Yup, that’s right. The best time of the year is right around the corner and some of you may have even started celebrating as your eyes glaze over this article. They’re glazing because of one event and one event only: frolics. The year-long waiting is done and the better than Christmas feeling has inhabited your fingers and toes. Davidson’s spring frolics, a weekend or week-long (depends on who you’re speaking to) festival of hazy memories is upon us. Sure, he may not have remembered what your outfit was when you hooked up at Phi Delt’s phrolics day party, but boy did those photos on Facebook remember the pit-stains on your tight t-shirt.
Ladies, frolics wear and gear must be processed ahead of time with a detailed style agenda and an emphasis on an I-look-carefree-but-obviously-I-tried-on-fifty-other-outfits-before attitude. Weather is a big game-changer so make sure you obssessively consult your online forecasts before planning.
1. Anything goes, but don’t look trashy.
You’re not trying to look like you’re trying. Or that you’re going to a club. Frolics is made for shorts (denim or athletic) and tanks. T-shirts are very appropriate because you’ll be getting them dirty. I’m a big fan of the bikini top if it’s nice out but make sure it stays on.
2. Do not wear anything that cost a lot of money or is valuable to you.
vs.
I meant it when I said you’re going to get dirty. Look at this hot chick sitting in a pool of foam. She’s not wearing her DVF blouse or 7s jeans. You just might be able to get away with them at KPub Thursday night, but after that, all bets are off. Frolics is a messy weekend and the last thing you want is to wake up Sunday morning, having spilled rum and coke on your favorite shirt.
3. Two options: Fanny pack or backpack.
It is absurd to think you can last through frolics by using just your pockets and hands to hold your phone and catcard. You will break your phone. You will lose your catcard. To ensure their safety and your ability to get back to your room for a quick catnap, carry a holding device. A Camelback is also a good idea.
4. Check the weather!
I cannot repeat enough: check the weather! Frolics will be fun regardless but if you’re freezing in a bikini top and shorts, frolics becomes less fun. If you have any last-minute weather questions please contact Caroline Thompson.
The most important thing to remember about frolics style is to wear something that you’re comfortable in and can have fun in. Fun after all is what frolics is all about.
