The randomness of spring-like weather earlier this month caused several fashion tragedies around campus. Mother Nature seemed to have been a tad bit bewildered, and apparently some students were just as confused. There are specific cases that stick out in my mind, and I’ll describe them from the bad to the worst.Anybody will tell you that it is not a good idea to drink a milkshake in a snow storm. Unfortunately no one told a certain young man that blue jean shorts, a red and green t-shirt, and high top wheat Timberland boots is a bad fashion combination. He is the first and only person that I honestly believe has a wardrobe ready for Christmas in July.
An even worse fashion tragedy was created by a young woman who seemed to be prepared for a tropical fun filled getaway of some sort. I was walking outside on my way to class when I noticed her in front of me and what she was wearing. Not only was her shirt screaming Hawaiian vacation, but her brightly colored matching fishnet legwarmers screamed wardrobe malfunction.
People need to realize that it is the month of January and the season is still winter. With that being said, Soffe shorts and a coat should not be an option as an outfit for the day.
Also if you see someone you know and care for about to make a fashion mistake, stop them! Friends don’t let friends dress ugly.
