STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Batchel

Style Advice of the Week

The best part about fashion is that it’s unique to the individual. The same item can be worn in so many different ways by so many different people. I love how this Fashionista styled her canary yellow Cambridge “batchel”—an updated version of the traditional satchel, with a handle added for easier transporting. The batchel’s bold hue caught my eye as I was scanning Towson’s campus for fashionable finds. While most students stick to a plain black backpack to carry their textbooks and pens, this Fashionista puts a modern twist on the school briefcase.

With a streak of vibrant turquoise in her hair and dark-red tights that are perfect for fall, it’s clear that this Fashionista is a risk-taker when it comes to trends. Rich-brown leather combat boots juxtapose her sweet floral-patterned dress. Topped off with an army green military blazer, she was set for a day of classes.

Want to recreate this Fashionista’s daring look? Get your Cambridge Satchel Company batchel here, or get a similar version here. If you want to put together a look that will stand out, remember to pair similar colors in your outfit and then add bold elements. Like this Fashionista, try a fall color scheme. Reds and yellows go well together, especially when added as accent pieces. If you want to wear a print, find one that is appropriate for the season, like a fall floral. Don’t forget to pack a punch and make a statement—whether it’s a bright yellow handbag, a streak of blue hair or an awesome vintage dress!
