Whoever you meet here will be your life-long friends and potential future love interests, so setting yourself up for success is crucial. I, for one, still talk to every single person I met during Visitas, and I credit this networking success to one thing: my cute fit that shone through the Zoom screen during virtual Visitas (way back when that was a thing). Here’s a guide to being voted “Best Dressed at Visitas” in your future yearbook (or in Fifteen Minutes Magazine).

Harvard Merch

Leave the people with no doubt that you are either a Harvard student or an overzealous tourist. If you’re a walking ad for the Harvard Shop, they might pay you partial commission.

Business Formal

Recruitment season is so early lately, might as well start the moment you step foot on campus. Who knows, maybe your Visitas host is a newly hired OpenAI software engineer who can give you a referral down the line.

Couch Potato Fit

Exam season is approaching, so you’ll fit right in with the students.

Yale Merch

Heck, recreate the Khurana dog picture. It’s a rite of passage.

Turkey Fit

Welcome to New England. Maybe they won’t attack you if you look like them. (Probably not, but one can dream.)

Joe Biden Fit

For people who didn’t get an invite to the exclusive Institute of Politics event last week.

Future Final Club Member Fit

Carry around a plank of wood.

Remember, people always judge a book by its cover.
