What to Wear at Opening Ball

By Editor 8 years ago

Long or short, tie or tux? An Opening Ball veteran shares her thoughts.

For many freshers, Opening Ball will mark their first foray into the world of black tie. Although photos from past events provide a glimpse of what to expect, this guide offers a more detailed explanation of the flexible dress code.

Long vs Short

While men struggle over bowties and neckties, women must choose between floor length gowns and thigh-chafing minidresses. Ultimately, anything goes at Opening Ball. In St Andrews, “black tie” tends to include cocktail attire: Many girls select dresses that would not seem out of place at The Vic.

The dress code is not strictly enforced, but some respect should be afforded to the night’s theme. Something from ASOS’s “party dresses” section is worthy of a Tequila Tuesday; Opening Ball surpasses such a banal night. In our entire lives, we will have very few opportunities to wear long dresses in a beautiful marquee, surrounded by peers and photographers. A gown is not a requirement, but it is my recommendation.

(That said, the majority of female guests do tend to wear short dresses.)

Shoes

Unsurprisingly, heels are the most popular choice at any ball. Consequently, it is not unusual to witness scores of girls barefoot by midnight, their skin exposed to a carpet stained with sweat, spilled drinks, and various other fluids.

Opening Ball will have a seating area for recovery in between dances, but stilettos ought to be avoided. Not only do they become painful after six hours of wear, but they sink into the damp grass that surrounds the marquee. Heels should be three inches at their highest, and there is no shame in going lower. Ballet flats or particularly fancy boots are also viable options, particularly when hidden beneath long dresses.

Men

A standard tuxedo is the go-to look for any male guest. This is yet another argument on behalf of long dresses: Tuxes and gowns compliment each other, establishing a cohesive aesthetic and promoting the general atmosphere of the ball.

Scottish guests are encouraged to wear kilts, a frequent sight at any St Andrews event. Beyond this, men have little to stress over when preparing for the night ahead.

Part of the beauty of Opening Ball lies in its lack of restrictions. Short dresses, long dresses, high heels and flats will all come together for a night that celebrates St Andrews in its purest form. The black tie dress code contributes to the wonder of the event, separating it from any standard night out. By adhering to it, we are doing our part in crafting an incredible night.

    로드스탁과의 레버리지 스탁: 투자의 신규 분야

    로드스탁을 통해 제공하는 레버리지 스탁은 주식 투자법의 한 방식으로, 상당한 수익률을 목적으로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매력적인 선택입니다. 레버리지 사용을 사용하는 이 방법은 투자하는 사람들이 자신의 자금을 초과하는 자금을 투자할 수 있도록 하여, 증권 장에서 더욱 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 방법을 줍니다.

    레버리지 방식의 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 원칙적으로 자본을 차입하여 투자하는 방식입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 투자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자자들이 일반적인 자본보다 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 사들여, 증권 가격이 올라갈 경우 해당하는 더 큰 수익을 가져올 수 있게 합니다. 그러나, 증권 값이 하락할 경우에는 그 손해 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 조심해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 큰 기업에 투자할 때 효과적입니다. 이러한 사업체에 큰 비율로 적용하면, 성공적일 경우 막대한 수입을 얻을 수 있지만, 그 반대의 경우 많은 위험성도 감수하게 됩니다. 따라서, 투자하는 사람은 자신의 리스크 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해, 어느 기업에 얼마만큼의 자본을 적용할지 선택해야 합니다.

    레버리지의 장점과 위험 요소
    레버리지 스탁은 높은 수익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험성 따릅니다. 주식 거래의 변화는 예상이 곤란하기 때문에, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 항상 상장 추세를 정밀하게 관찰하고, 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 계획을 세워야 합니다.

    맺음말: 조심스러운 선택이 필요
    로드스탁에서 제공된 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 막강한 투자 도구이며, 적당히 사용하면 많은 수입을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 그렇지만 높은 리스크도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 결정이 충분한 데이터와 세심한 고려 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자하는 사람의 금융 상황, 위험을 감수하는 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 반영한 균형 잡힌 투자 전략이 중요합니다.
