What should I wear?
We love seeing your best Subaru Smart Casual style.
Think jeans (without tears), shorts at or below the knee, and your favorite Subaru shirt or gear. As we’ll sometimes be taking photos and asking you to do the same, we ask with heart that you do not wear logos from competing brands. These include ‘dealer group’ shirts (even if the Subaru logo is featured alongside another your group’s portfolio).
We'll spend time both indoors and outdoors, so be sure to check the local forecast before you arrive. Closed-toe shoes are required for all driving activities.
Comfort goes a long way toward a great day behind the wheel.
