There is something about the middle of the semester that makes everything feel a little “been there, done that.” The new school clothes we bought in August are no longer quite as fabulous, midterms have us over-caffeinated and sleep deprived, and the D.C. weather is an unfortunate humid/wet/cold variety.

When thinking about the clothing men wear, two categories usually come to mind: the first, classic and conservative, just within the bounds of a J.Crew catalogue. The second, edgier, with a hint of high fashion and personal flare. While most men remain in the former category, there are plenty of guys around campus who embrace the latter.
A wise fashionista once said: One woman’s “last season” is another woman’s “must-have.” If you look hard enough, fashion can be found anywhere, from the bottom of a Goodwill bargain bin to the top shelf at Barneys.
Shorter days, longer nights. The classic autumnal flavors at Starbucks. New York Fashion Week. All telling signs of one thing: goodbye, sweet summertime, and hello, fall.
