Five Outfits for Being Hot and Absolutely Unapproachable at the Reunion

It’s reunion season.

Whether that means family reunion or alumni weekend at your college or graduate school, it’s time to reunite with friends and family from all over for what can only be described as a free booze bacchanal.

What you wear at these reunions is a great way to communicate that you are the hot gay aunt that the family thinks is rich because you like to travel and probably have a degree. Or maybe you don’t, and you’re the cool gay sibling that does writing for a living that no one reads. Maybe you were drunk for most of college and have come back to show how much you have grown.

No matter what is the story you are trying to tell, an outfit can say it without words.

So, get into these five outfits for either scenario! Again, these outfits are mere guides, so if you find something else similar in your size or your price range, go buy it! Happy reuniting!
