Checks, plaids and the Emerald Isle style
Start your very own fashion revolution this Fall by layering, wearing V-neck sweaters and dressing in the colors of the season
As I walked across the red brick paths, crossing the beautiful lush quads on my first day at Hopkins, I couldn't help but notice one small thing: the student population resembled poster ads for Abercrombie & Fitch and Ralph Lauren Polo. Coming from a strange and foreign land myself, Canada, this notion of uniformity across campus struck me as odd. Wasn't college a time to be unique and express oneself? I was inspired, blown over with exhilaration; I wanted to start an uprising, a campaign against the conformity that runs rampant in our classrooms and dorms. Rise up, take a risk eager fashionistas, wear something different and set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd.
In this modern world, we are inevitably judged, at first glance, by our garments. As students, we should always be dressing for success. I'm sure my fellow sex columnists would agree that we base part of our attraction for the opposite sex on what they wear, and that we pick and choose our partners based on such criterion. So follow these tips and you'll be sure to turn heads everywhere you go.
Autumn is inarguably my favorite and the most gorgeous season of the year. The fluctuating weather brings the chance to experiment with fresh, new burgeoning styles. But are you unsure of what those styles are? Well that's why I'm here.
My first and foremost suggestion is that match your colors with the season. Deep burgundies, creamy beiges, cashmere browns, sultry reds and oranges help keep you attuned with the season. Play around with colors and make sure to find the ones that best suit you and your body. A certain young fashionista (yours truly) relies on browns and beiges to complement his dark features. Keep in mind however; you do not want a wardrobe stocked with monotonous clothing.
Now more than ever, military chic is in. Look for dark olive greens, browns and grays to model the trenches and coats of the stylish British. Especially for men, I recommend that you find yourself a unique military trench coat-styled outfit for those colder days of the year. Wear it correctly, and you'll draw eyes from across the cafeteria.
