LIN: Dress how you truly want in college, regardless of pressure to conform
I believe that University students often place too much weight on conforming to a “stereotypical U.Va.” style. I remember when I was about to enter college, somebody told me I had to “upgrade” my wardrobe with some colored pants, some Vineyard Vines, some Patagonia and a pair of Sperrys. I remember not listening to this and deciding to stick to my comfortable sweatpants because they looked cooler and were more comfortable to me. I wanted to dress how I truly wanted without breaking a budget and succumbing to any pressure. For all those who are entering the University and for everybody already here, I would recommend you do the same.
