This fall, with the changing colors of the leaves comes a wave of masculine clothing for the feminine physique. The patterns and cuts that were once markedly “guy-oriented” have now hit the radars of fashionistas across Penn’s campus. Locust Walk is buzzing with blazers, flannel shirts, fedoras, Oxford loafers and motorcycle boots. Check out the other trends we've spotted...
Oh-so-practical, cross-body messenger bags have been spotted on undergrads trekking across campus with style. A dark chocolate or traditional black one can provide a classy alternative to your standard beat-up backpack.
Students bring a hint of the Upper East Side to West Philly by donning the ubiquitous “Blair Waldorf headband." Complete the polished prep-school look with a large accessory — think flowers or feathers — centered over a deep side-part.
Leather jackets have taken over campus. No need for a Harley: we've seen this tough and tailored look paired with everything from cigarette leg pants to frilly dresses. Top it with a pashmina for a chic and colorful way to keep warm.
The ultimate fall essential, this lightweight peacoat easily trumps any frayed sweatshirt or North Face fleece. A simple complement to skinny jeans and flats, a peacoat keeps you warm — and keeps you looking classic in that most Ivy League sense of the word.
Taking another cue from trendsetters across the country, students have started embracing color — particularly pastels. Fighting off the dreary winter trend of black on black, guys and girls alike are keeping things on the brighter side.
