Ten Ways to Wear Your Lanyard

By: Kaylee Chen and Cindy Su

  1. Wear it as a belt when you don’t want your pants to fall down. They say dress for the job you want and nothing says top dog like being a future Red BanditTM
  2. Swing it around your head like a lasso wherever you go. Say “yeehaw” instead of hi for dramatic effect. The cowboy hat is optional. 
  3. Don’t. Bundle it up into a pocket square and dangle it from your jeans. 
  4. If you drape it around your head like a headband you can at least be certain nobody will be worried about your hair.
  5. Wear it, but make sure the photo side isn’t showing. You’ll seem more mysterious when you complain about how your photo looks nothing like you.
  6. Dress it up for Friday Night EP — that tie lanyard combo moves differently.
  7. Wear it everyday.
  8. Clip a few necessities onto the lanyard: hairbands, keys, tissues, the patience you need to finish that history paper, pens...
  9. At some point, you'll set down your lanyard for the last time. The nylon faded, beat and torn. That sun kissed maroon withered by your adventures together. It was loved. Appreciate those final moments with your lanyard. You only realize it when it’s gone.
  10. If you’re anything like us you appreciate high fashion — wearing your favorite stuffed brown bat at the end of your lanyard? That’s something I’ve never seen before.
