Back To Campus Fashion

Bag the books and stow the syllabus. In college the challenge is learning how to flip--to make the grade in every scene from classroom to frat house. You need outfits that say you're cool and styling with stuff that rates among jocks and art history majors alike. Clothes-minded scholars will notice that this year history repeats itself. Classic gear like cargo pants and generic varsity jackets are back, with updated lines and modern fabric blends. The effect is reminiscent of Geology 101: earth tones with a touch of color. On an Intro-to-Philosophy style note, remember that a simple layer of clothing is what separates you from your classmates. You wear your best stuff just to get the chance to throw it on the floor of some navel-ringed honey's dorm room. In the moments that matter most, clothes are immaterial. But before you can take it off, you have to learn how to put it on.
