Street style at Laurier

/

Even with the surprisingly mild weather we seem to be having, itโ€™s unfortunately still winter outside and that means everyone has to stay bundled up.

Thankfully, it appears that once the coats and scarves come off, weโ€™ve still got some great looking students walking around. I donโ€™t know if it was just the people I saw today or this is an early week trend, but I noticed that most outfits on students were less about drawing attention with the use of accessories and more about how certain outfits worked together.

Name: Lina Lie
Major: Second-year English
Style Inspiration: โ€œI like fashion so I read a lot of Chinese magazines.โ€

Where she shops: โ€œI shop in different places: sometimes China or Asia [her boots are from China]. I like to shop in Toronto at the Eaton Centre.โ€
Other than the fact that Iโ€™m jealous Lina bought her boots from China, what I really liked about her outfit was the amount of layers she had on. Since I was mostly obsessing about her beige cape and boots, I liked that all her clothes underneath were black. Although beige is usually a neutral colour, it definitely added a subtle pop to what she was wearing.

Name: Gabe Surian
Major: Third-year economics
Style inspiration: โ€œSometimes I just throw on anything, but usually I like to think about what Iโ€™m wearing. I donโ€™t think I have an inspiration โ€” I donโ€™t dress the same way all the time. Sometimes I wear fitted [hats], or baggy jeans, raw denim? It depends; I wear anything really.โ€

Where he shops: โ€œThe shirt and the shoes are from Loop [in Uptown Waterloo] and I canโ€™t remember where the jeans are from.โ€

I have to give a hand to any guy who doesnโ€™t roll out of bed and wear sweatpants to class. His outfit was super casual, but it was the little details โ€” such as the oversized fit of his shirt and the unexpected hood, that made it interesting. In short, it was an extremely relaxed, basic โ€œjeans and a shirtโ€ look but it was definitely still eye-catching.
