Q: okay so our school is doing the play High School Musical. And I play Taylor but I have no idea what i'm supposed to wear! Someone please help .
Taylor is a very nerdy type of girl. In the movie, she is portrayed as kind of chic- blazers with flower pins on the lapel, pencil skirts, chunky headbands, flats.
You could also take it the other direction and wear sweaters, Mary Janes, and pencil skirts.
I really loved the movie Taylor's look, but it really depends on how you plan on portraying the character.
Playing the Nerd Tips:
-If you're doing your own makeup, use "smart dots"(small white dots on the inside corners of your eyes) to look smarter offstage. I've really no idea why this works.
-Glasses automatically make you look nerdier. If you don't wear any, simply purchase sunglasses(small one, probably wire frames) and pop the glass part out. If you're not strong enough, ask a techie for help. They are the most awesome people ever.

**EDIT**
A jean skirt sounds perfect, as long as it isn't a mini... that would be pushing things.
For the decathalon, try to find a lab coat. Try asking a chemistry teacher at your school, or looking at a costume shop(ours is called Actor's Attic.)

thanks for the advice! But I do have another question if you could give your opinion... I have this jean skirt its like knee length and it kind of flows out. And what do you think would be good to wear for the science decatholine portion of the play?
