Trendwatch
We really can’t get enough of the jacket trend around campus this term! The snowfall looks so good with everyone’s style. Sarah Ryu ’19 sported a green utility jacket with pink fur along the collar, a perfect representation of how to stay stylish in the cold weather. Winter is the perfect time to pull out your favorite boots. We especially loved how Hillary Davis ’19 mixed styles by pairing floral embroidered heeled boots with basic mom jeans. A classic trend that came back this season are over the knee boots. We’ve seen these in a range of different colors, both with a heel or flat soled. Ariane Avandi ‘19 wore a houndstooth patterned cropped pants with cream adidas gazelles. She also added a simple frilled white top and a loose jacket on top to battle the cold. Ashley Lin ’19 and Leah Cohen ’20 accidentally matched their outfits on Friday. Leah Cohen ’20 wore a black turtleneck sweater with a bright orangey red corduroy mini skirt. To fight the cold, Leah also wore black tights with tall brown leather boots to walk through the snow. Ashley Lin ’19 opted out of walking through the snow when she decided to wear thigh-high black velvet boots. Ashley also wore black tights and a black turtleneck top. But her skirt which was also red was ripped asymmetrically and had a large silver zipper running down the middle. Red is one of our favorite colors to incorporate into our outfits, and Ashley demonstrated perfectly how to make this pop of color stand in the spotlight by rocking black pieces around it.
As the rain poured down, we saw some very innovative ways to combat the weather.
The weather is seeming to get warm throughout the week with a chilly day on Thursday and some rain on Monday and Tuesday so we were excited to see you guys attempt to be warm, dry and stylish this week. However, if you embody the classic Exeter tendency to opt for comfier pieces, we suggest adding a few pairs of stylish joggers to your wardrobe to stay on-trend. We especially love the pair of camo joggers Brody Faliero ’21 wore, rounding out the outfit with a raw cut cropped hoodie that was beige colored. Joggers and sneakers is a classic look anyone can rock, which is why we love it so much.
Sad to see all the snow melt in the last week of January, but luckily it brought some warm weekend days. We both bought dresses for Abbot, but sadly were not able to go because of squash. Abbot Casino is a great way for everyone to pull out all the stops and stunt in their favorite formal attire. We love seeing when people take risks and go beyond the basics. In the past we have seen silk robes, a casual spin with hawaiian shirts and festive hats and tasteful pantsuits. We loved all the pictures of you guys taking advantage of this special event at Exeter!
This week we saw some great winter outfits. As the rain poured down, we saw some very innovative ways to combat the weather. Adrian Kyle Venzon ’19 pulled out what he called “feet ponchos” which were protective white plastic material that wrapped over the shoe and zipped up over the laces. Niko Amber ’19 also wore an interesting raincoat from Topshop which was made out of completely clear plastic and a white zipper down the middle. The jacket had two layers and was sectioned into different square parts, so in between the layers and parts were pink and purple glitter and confetti pieces that moved around the jacket as Niko walked. Alexander Knopp ’21 went above and beyond the dress code later in the week by pairing a thin striped blue button down with grey chinos. He rolled his pants at the ankle to show off his brown chelsea boots. Pulling the outfit together with accessories like a gray scarf and simple black Hermes belt, we loved this cool toned look. Grace Carroll ’19 took advantage of the warm weather by rocking a snake print mini skirt, choosing to have it stand out as the center of the outfit by pairing it with a black shirt, black sheer tights and black booties. If chosen strategically, all black outfits outfits can make a real statement.
Until next week—stay stylish!
