Welcome Back to The Style Script!
The Style Script (created Spring 2014) is Southern U’s own style guide yielded towards todays and tomorrows next fashions, trends, and on campus style which I personally pull inspiration from. This column is just merely ideas, and does not take any responsibility for fashion mishaps but is here to inspire my fellow jags to dress the best they can, being great at doing so and ultimately having fun. Fashion should be a means to express one’s self without preservations that they aren’t original. Experiment with colors, prints, textures, lengths, as long as it makes you happy and you look good in it. Clothing is a direct conversation between you and world, so why not tell the world each day who you are without declaring who you are verbally. Life is too short to wear boring clothes and life is definitely about taking chances. No you don’t have to wait until “Pretty Wednesday” to dress up or look nice, everyday should be your own personal cat walk! But your catwalk does have a few limitations such as setting appropriate clothing which is the biggest of them all. It shouldn’t be the normal thing to see “club dresses” or mesh insets at 12:50 when everyone is getting out of class on a Monday. Appropriation is key when dressing for life! Every setting has a theme whether stated or not. Class, dinner date, social events, clubs, church, there’s a time and place for everything you would like to wear in your wardrobe. So let’s talk about the most common fashion situations you can find yourself in being a college student: class, social events, and clubs (church is included but everyone should know better by now). For class, ladies you don’t want to wear anything revealing, extra tight or just unflattering to yourself. We’ve all seen classmates with body parts tumbling out of their clothing. Don’t be that person and try to scale back on some things you wear. For guys, pants sagging below the butt is out of line and disrespectful to yourself and everyone around you, just don’t do it. My biggest advice for on social events especially on campus events such as glow in the dark parties, circle parties, or foam parities, is to keep it comfortable. Nine times out of ten you will be hot, you be standing and definitely jigging to pieces. Keep it causal and leave your “good clothes” and heels at the room; you won’t really need them because it will be very dim. Lastly is clubbing. Apart of me wants to tell you to go all out and the other half wants to tell you to keep it classy so since I’m clearly stumped on the club scene wear I’d say go for whatever looks best on you. Often times we get so caught up looking at a certain dress or style of dress that looks perfect on the model or mannequin but we aren’t shaped or have the same body type and build as the person/mannequin. The best thing to do in this situation and every one you find yourself in is to look your very best. Stay fashion forward! XO
