STYLE ADVICE: Don't Rain on His Parade

January 30th, 2017 at 2:00am

How have the holidays already come and gone? Sadly, this means we are getting closer and closer to the dead of winter—more snow and ice. Now that the temperatures are lowering by the day, we as Fashionista/os have to adapt our outfit choices to the different weather patterns. This means more comfy sweaters, layers, and boots. Are we ready for this? Probably not, but we will get through the low temperatures together, especially this Fashionisto!

This Fashionisto is brave enough to fight the gross rainy and snowy weather and show off one of his favorite winter looks. He is rocking his favorite Hollister Co. navy sweater that he wears to stay fresh and warm. He matched the sweater with a pair of flat front, slim fit khaki pants. He ties the entire outfit together with his suede, wing tip Polo by Ralph Lauren shoes. Unfortunately, since it is raining, he couldn’t forget his umbrella. He also said his signature look at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York is wearing his lanyard tucked into his pockets. He said he will never loose his room key and everyone will know that he goes to Marist; it is a win-win in his book!

When looking for winter clothing, look for items that will work with different outfit choices and that you will be able to layer. Layering is key for the cold winter months; it helps you stay warm and look fashionable! This will also save you money in the long run and make you look super stylish without owning a ton of clothing. You can also try buying comfy sweaters to stay warm during the winter season. Winter designers have put out some of the greatest outfit choices for men and women’s ready to wear. Now, all we have to do is take advantage of the numerous choices while we still can!

Don’t forget to stay RAD and be FAB!

    Hi, Fashionista’s! My name is Caroline Verdic and I am from New Jersey. I am currently a student at Marist College studying business marketing and fashion merchandising. I am obsessed with fashion; it is my passion. I’ve grown up with fashion. My mother worked in the industry and absolutely loved it. Growing up, I always had a sense of style. Even at a young age, I would play dress up in my mother closet; walking around in her high heels, wearing her jewelry, and trying on her lipsticks. She knew from that young of an age that I would explore the fashion world when I was older. Growing up so close to the fashion capital of the world, I got to experience the many different styles and looks found in New York City. I gain so much inspiration from magazines, on social media, even people walking around every day. I see how so many people have their own unique style that fits their personality. I love this quote by Rachel Zoe, “style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” I would say my sense of style is trendy, I love to follow the trends and add a little spin to it. Trends are always changing so one day I could go for a preppy look to the next day edgy, then to boho chic. If I am going for a casual look, I will always go for an athleisure style. I love to experiment with styles and even mix trends. Currently, I am obsessed with accessories. I love a nice big earring or necklace, or even the perfect lip color and bag combo to spice up your outfit and make you stand out. I love a great accent piece that just ties the outfit all together. I have also recently become obsessed with sneakers; I feel as though I need every pair I see. I love to run but now that the newest trend is wearing sneakers with dresses, skirts, shorts, and pants is trending, I am fully taking advantage buying more sneakers; although my bank account may not like that! I am so extremely happy and excited to join the CollegeFashionista Style Guru family and I am so excited to share my articles with you! Don’t forget to #stayRADandFAB
