Taking Spirit to the Street

Sponsored by Steve Madden

Is it possible for classics to be trendy? Simply take a look at fashion at the moment and it certainly seems that way. When it comes to footwear, thereโ€™s nothing more classic than a great pair of sneakers. Steve Madden recently put a collegiate twist on their classic Ecntrcqt sneaker, releasing the shoe in red, green and purple. We all love our school, but itโ€™s often difficult to translate that love into an everyday look. These sneakers make it easy to add a touch of school pride to your street-style look.

We caught up with our Style Gurus to give us the low-down on classic trends making a comeback on campus.

CollegeFashionista: Hey Style Gurus! Can you believe itโ€™s already October? Whatโ€™s happening on campus to save you from midterms?

Ellie Williams, University of Arkansas: Iโ€™ve been cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks for football season. Thereโ€™s nothing quite like an SEC football game, even when Iโ€™m stressed.

Michelle Keswani, University of South Florida: Same! I love tailgate season.

CF: Tailgate season is the best! It never gets old. Weโ€™ve been talking a lot about fashion that never gets old recently. What are some trends you were happy to see make a comeback?

Courtney Quinn, Loyola Marymount University: I was so happy to see high-waisted jeans come back. My style is laid-back, so I wear them almost every day!

Angel Johnson, East Carolina University: Me, too! You can always find me in high-waisted jeans and a crop top. Iโ€™m normally wearing an all-black look, so these sneakers add a little sass to my look.

Olivia Stauber, University of Miami: I was super pumped to see silk camis and dresses make a comeback. These sneakers dress down the look making it perfect for a day of class.

CF: Everything our moms used to wear seems to be back, too! Do you ever steal pieces from her closet?

Jordan Shiley, James Madison University: Heck yeah! I always steel my momโ€™s shoes. She has an admirable collection, but weโ€™re definitely not sharing these.
