Within the first few minutes of wandering around campus, we spotted a group of seniors playing catch. Among them was our first street-style snap of the year.
Upon seeing her baseball glove we had flashbacks to Alexander Wang’s S/S 2010 collection, where models were sent down the runway with sports equipment for accessories. Adding to the masculine appeal were her worn in pair of combat boots. The feminine addition of her Chanel-like jacket topped off a minimal, yet playful ensemble.

We have seen plenty of ombre tresses on campus this year, but upon seeing Steph, we saw how she made the hair trend her own. After ogling her hair, we were struck by Steph’s vintage vibe. She perfectly pulled off the oversize look, which one could claim to be a reaction to the previous years’ domination by body-con silhouettes.
Being extremely stylish and comfortable is a hard thing to do, and Steph definitely pulled it off!

About to call it a day, we decided to head back to our vehicles. While passing the Canal Building we saw a flash of pink, which led us to Xeyuo, an exchange student from China! Mixing prints like a pro, Xeyuo also skillfully mixed a transitional outfit. As fall approaches, we have noticed many students seemingly jumping headfirst into winter wear. Xeyou avoided the seasonal confusion by adding fall touches, like her socks and thick cardigan, to her otherwise summery outfit.
Xeyou’s prints are reminiscent of a Rachel Comey-like pairing, and show her knack for creating an unexpected, yet, pulled together outfit.
