Welcome to Campus Couture!
It's right here where I'll share with you my thoughts on style, who has it, and who doesn't.
All you have to do is take a quick scan at the people around you. What we wear is a big part of who we are.
I may run the risk of sounding stereotypical, but ethnic and social groups at our campus definitely stand out in terms of what they wear. I've often seen Asians girls sporting hella expensive designer bags, usually Chanel, Gucci or Prada. They also happen to be the group of girls that wear high heels around the most as they click away with their smaller strides in each direction heading to either Baker, Porter, CFA, or the library, etc.
Jocks, athletes, and the "sporty" folk also have a very definitive way of dressing up. It's all about sweats, jerseys, t shirts, and footwear of choice usually tends to be sneaks, dunks, or Adidas flip flops.
Then we have the more "emo" kid who tends to sports the skinnies, hounds-tooth hoodies, and for footwear sport from a selection of vans, and/ or converses (more specifically the chuck taylor design).
Students also tend to dress in a manner that often tends to give away what school they belong to. Musical theater and the more artsy kids dress a certain way in comparison to your CS geek or business school "prepster".
As the number of entries in this blog grows so will your understanding of personal style. Each entry will focus around a particular group of people, and it would be interesting for you to go away and see if what I've said is in fact true based on observation.
At some point, I would also like to introduce all readers to a clothing line i designed, the inspiration behind it, and the amount of work and dedication that goes into putting a show together.
Enjoy this style guide, and happy reading :)
