Chilly November nights and crisp days in the campus shade call for a change of wardrobe, and local shops, boutiques and students have the know-how on what to wear for the pending winter season.
The winter fashion trends of 2010 offer a diverse palette of new and exciting everyday wear for both men and women.
From prints and lush, velvety fabrics to army-inspired structured jackets and boots, getting dressed has never been so much fun.
This season, women are wearing men's clothes, men are donning skinny jeans and headbands, and the fashion world is approving it all.
Jordan Gremillion, University alumna and manager of local store Noelie Harmon, said her store is featuring winter wardrobes and eco-friendly style.
"Our store is entirely eco-friendly," she said. "People who like stores and lines like Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters will love what we have to offer, especially since we have great prices."
Gremillion said the Southwest look is popular this season, but Noelie Harmon has a plethora of up-and-coming trends for men and women.
"For women, we have cool fur, velvet blazers, sequins, really cool Southwest-inspired sweaters," she said. "We've got prints, cardigans, sweaters, and a lot of our stuff, unless it's a collector's brand, is under $50."
Gremillion said her winter wardrobe includes Native American-style high boots with fringe.
"I always wear fringe boots for sure," she said. "I'm always into that,Ugg Classic Tall Boots, and really cozy sweaters and ponchos, high-waisted shorts and tights with over-the-knee socks and boots. Oh, and biker jackets. There are so many things to wear."
Noelie Harmon also caters to men's winter fashion needs,Uggs 5854, Gremillion said.
"We have a lot of really cute button-up cardigans, jean jackets and biker jackets for men," she said. "We also have reconstructed bow ties in really cool fabrics like sequins and plaid and skinny ties, too."
Debra Tongue, owner of Purple Rocks Contemporary Boutique, said summer wear can easily be transformed to winter wear.
"We still have summer dresses and a few rompers that can still be worn with tights," she said.
Purple Rocks also has some of the season's hottest winter items, Tongue said.
"Leather jackets always become popular when it's cool outside," she said. "Obviously, people want to look good while staying warm."
Layering allows an easy style, Tongue said.
"You can wear some leggings and a tank, cami or shirt underneath a jacket and look like you have an incredible fashion sense but still be comfortable and warm at the same time," she said.
Katie Annessa, fashion merchandising sophomore and Frock Candy's visual merchandiser and sales associate, said androgynous looks are popular for women this season.
"We have a lot of boyfriend styles right now," she said. "So, we have a lot of blazers, jackets and sweaters that are oversized or have a lot of masculine tones to them, but they're really, really cute on women."
Animal-inspired clothing and fabrics are all the rave at Frock Candy, Annessa said.
"We also have what we call primal instincts,' which is like faux fur and a lot of animal prints," she said. "I know a lot of people don't like the whole fur coat idea, so we have a lot of things with different aspects of the primal instincts on them."
Peter Twal, electrical engineering senior, said he has an old-school sense of style.
"I'd say I wear nerd writer clothes," he said. "I wear a lot of skinny ties and sweaters."
Steven Eckert, painting and drawing senior, said he has an easy-going style.
"I mostly just like to wear corduroy pants and a sweater something that'll keep me warm," he said.
Eckert said running shorts shouldn't be a part of women's winter fashion.
"Honestly, I hate the really short sorority shorts with the Ugg boots or whatever they're called," Eckert said. "I'm not a fan of those at all, and some girls will wear that when it's 45 degrees. There's no way that's comfortable."
Danyelle Mackie, English freshman, said she likes boots, tights and dresses.
"Kim Kardashian is my style inspiration," she said.
Mackie said she likes to see boys dress a specific way during the winter.
"For guys,Uggs 5815, I like jeans, probably like skinny jeans, Nike shoes, Jordans, beanies and letterman jackets," she said.
Katelyn Wood, English and Spanish junior, said she's inspired by classic styles.
"I don't dress like this because not many people do, but I really like the style of the women of the '40s and '50s," she said. "They were so elegant. If people dressed like that, I would dress up every day."
Christina Biondo, Spanish junior, said she buys all her clothing at exchange stores.
"I love scarves," she said. "I don't care what you're wearing a scarf with. I automatically love it."
