Bow ties kick but. You wouldn't believe how many compliments I've got on the judges ballot about my style (especially in debate).

I think bow ties are okay in debate, but not in speech except for one time one of my teammates wore a bow tie and got third.

i cant let myself wear collared shirts as i play with the collar when i am nervous. no necklaces either. always a pair of heels...i have no idea why but i feel like i perform better in them. i do use color to emphasize something in the piece. for example my piece is about columbine shootings so i wear red or black.

I normally would go w/your typical black suit with a variety of shirt colors and even more ties. But as I get closer to my state series, I think I'll tone it down to the black suit and turtlenecks. I don't know yet.

I'd like at what is typical in Illinois and make sure that if nothing else, I am equal with that. Turtlenecks are looked at as a step down from the full blow suit. I can't remember the last male state champion who was not wearing a shirt, tie, and a coat, if not a full blown suit.

Love me some pinstripe suit with PAISLEY PAISLEY PAISLEY!!!!!! Ties are my favorite thing in the world. I have many shirt/tie combos. Some of them are pre-lim attire, others are break day, and then there are the DUO outfits, Oh man. So many ties, so many shirts. LOOOVE forensics fashion and this thread even more.

I STRONGLY suggest looking second-hand for suits. I was just at Goodwill today and for three dollars I picked up this lovely blazer that was originally $80 with the tag still on. Don't look down on it because it is second-hand. Generally people take good care of their blazers/suits and just don't have a need for them anymore. And hey, if they're in good condition, I don't see a problem with it.

Question:
The blazer I picked up today at Goodwill looks idential (from what I can tell) to this:

Is it over the top for competing? I'd pair it with simple black pants and a black shirt that's similar to hers.
I'm a girl competing in HI, by the way.

Those navy blue jackets with the gold buttons are my favorite. I sometimes don't wear a tie, but I do if it's a bigger tournament. I don't like them at all.

I have a dark gray suit that I wear. The jacket fits perfectly (except for hemmed sleeves) and the skirt is A-line (pinned in the back). This way I have room to grow into it. I have a bunch of these nice, plain camisoles (I like my purple ones the best) from New York & Company that I wear underneath for a bit of color but nothing too noticeable. Sometimes I switch it up with this silk skirt, but for the most part I wear this suit to every tournament, and I've grown quite attached so I hope I don't grow out of it (but, 2 years is a long time to grow haha)

Lol well my favorite fashion is a Blue Suit with a amazing Red and gray tie. Then Wearing a bright red shirt or a burgundy shirt. Black shoes.

Tho next year I am wear a pair of black pants, probably a red, burgundy, or green shirt or purplish shirt. Then a black sweater vest with a gray or whit design. Probably a black tie or a white or red one.
