By nature, I prefer simplicity and always pick casual clothes no matter what the occasion is. Yet off the top of my head, there comes a time when I had to put on a suit for a photo shoot for our yearbook, which I personally feel quite burdensome and formal.
Everyone was supposed to dress smartly and formally for the occasion, so boys were told to have their black suit on, and a pair of shining shoes or a brand-new pair of sneakers for footwear. I did also wear a necktie to look more elegant and sophisticated. The girls were simpler in their clothes; some colorful traditional clothes could do wonders to their outer appearance.
The suits were rented from a store that specializes in renting costumes for artists or students about to graduate, and fortunately our monitor made great preparations beforehand so we had our clothes rented dirt cheap.
I’d have to admit that it was the very first time I put on formal wear, so my friends made quite sarcastic comments about my look at saying that I looked quite serious and unnatural. But somehow I was quite satisfied with how the clothes fitted me perfectly, and afterwards I tried to be more at ease I would say I looked great. I mapped dozens of selfie pictures and stored in my phone and sometimes take them out and feel quite nostalgic, actually.
