Name:  Nathan Alison College: Brown College '14 Major: Computer Science Describe your style: Classy-ish, geek-chic. What motivates you to dress up everyday? It's a cascading feedback loop---people liked it when I dressed up so I started experimenting more until I dress like this everyday. People actually get mad when I don't dress up. It makes me more confident and helps me stand out---plus it's fun. Any fashion faux pas? Senior year of high school, I wore exclusively pastel polo shirts. How do you feel about fashion trends? I believe in them so much as they are something to subvert. They exist but you can work around them. What inspires your style of dressing? I try to be as unbound by time period as possible. My bow tie/suit combo has been around since the 1800's. I purposefully fit different decades into my aesthetic. Any fashion advice?  Maybe a lot of people have the mindset that "You don't h...

Name: Michael Awalt College: Hanszen '16 Major: Architecture  Favorite Decade: I don't try to find inspiration from the past, but if I could pick one, it would probably be the 80s. The 80s seem awesome. #1 Fashion Do:  "Guys, the best rule of thumb for what you are wearing is to have one truly bold item per outfit - nothing more. Don't make your outfit a competition within itself. If you're looking to add color, try a vibrant solid color shirt with a pair of black, white, gray, or dark wash jeans. Another way to add color is through pants. Many stores are starting to carry colored denim now and the variety is endless. Don't cop-out on the color though-- get something bright and vibrant. Be sure to wear something very subtle with the pants though, and don't be too coordinated with the pants or its starts too look tacky. And don't get orange pants. Just don't." #1 Fashion Don't:  Those toe-shoe things. What the hell are p...

Name:  Maggie Sulc College:  Martel '13 Major:  English Style Inspiration:  Audrey Hepburn and classic film. But when I was abroad, I was inspired to try layering more with tights and leggings; that's what all the British girls did. And finally, the 20's. I already have the bob haircut. Where's your favorite place to shop? : Anne Taylor Loft. I love the bright colors and the classic fit of most pieces. What's your favorite clothing item:  My black oxford's. They click when I walk down the halls and what makes you more confident than your shoes announcing your presence? #1 Fashion Do:  Wear the style that makes you feel confident and helps you stand out from the crowd. #1 Fashion Don't:  It's hard to come up with a fashion don't because like so many rules, I can always think of the exception. But I suppose it would have to be wearing the same thing most every day of the week (I'm talking about you, work-out shorts ...

Name:  Amber Callan College:  Wiess '15 Major:  Biochemistry/Cell Biology & Psychology Style Inspiration:  As a military brat, I've lived fifteen places including Germany and England. My travels and the friends I've made along the way help inspire me in life and in fashion. Where's your favorite place to shop? : Black Milk Clothing! JL and his company are so inspirational creating a brand and a community out of nothing. Plus they help me put everything including galaxies, paintings and fruit on my legs. What's your favorite clothing item:  My  Pulp Sesame swimsuit . It's a parody on the classic Jules and Vincent pose from Pulp Fiction using Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. It's funny, simple and the fact that it's super flattering helps too.. #1 Fashion Do:  Do try new things! Wearing a new trend or trying out an odd print is a part of style discovery. Besides, fashion should be fun. ...
