This is hilarious. Fashionista was forwarded a five-page dress code written by Pi Phi’s rush chair at Cornell University.  It’s mad specific, and doesn’t leave any room for non-Stepford-looking pledges. Some highlights:

+ On Clothes — Denim leggings are appropriate as long as it’s done right: aka, not from American Apparel and worn with chic, cool, chunky boots over them and a longer top.

+ No satin dresses. No one looks good in satin dresses unless it’s from Betsey Johnson or Dolce & Gabbana, you weigh less than 130 pounds, have three pairs of Spanx on and it’s New Years Eve.

+ No Frumpy.

+ On Shoes — Yes to nice flats: Tory Burch, etc. More evening-ish, understated, patent leather good. I’m thinking mid-height Mary Jane heels, or mid-height chunky Kate Spade. — Booties ok if you can pull them off, aka probably not. [LOL!]

+ On Jewelry — I expect everyone to be wearing accessories. This is an important part of every outfit and can make or break any ensemble. — Bangles need to coordinate. I’m not saying you have to wear a Harry Winston wreath, but I am saying I won’t tolerate any gross plastic shizzzz. I love things on wrists and I demand earrings if your ears are pierced.

Can you believe this circa-1950s stuff still goes on? — and at a so-called liberal university like Cornell? Outer limits.
