Freshman biomedical science major Kate Furst opts for a trench coat in
color rather than khaki or black, so the ensemble has more life.

best to impress Donald Trump, and wearing short skirts with their
suits was definitely close to the top of the list, firing a debate
around the length of a skirt in the workplace.
What works on television does not always work in the real
world, so directly imitating the fashions seen on television without
making them more appropriate could be risky.
Michael J. Casey. A&M graduate, currently lives in New York
City and said the biggest problem his company has when bringing
A&M graduates to New York City for interviews is that many do
not “look the part."
“My wardrobe went from jeans and T-shirts to Hermes ties and
Turnbull and Asser shirts when I moved to New York." Casey said.
“My advice is spend the money on a nice suit by going to Saks or
Neiman Marcus and having it tailored well because it makes a lot
of difference. If you cannot afford that, go to Saks Off Fifth or
Neiman Marcus Last Call and buy something traditional and safe
... two-button, single-breasted, dark colors.”
As Aggies, our love for tradition is endless, and for some, no
matter where they go. College Station fashions are never left
behind. A&M graduate Bryan Liley, who works for CBS in New
York City, said his wardrobe has not changed since college.
“Working in television production, my wardrobe has not had to
change and that is why I got into the business," Liley said. “The
only thing that is different is I need a tuxedo a couple of times a
year, and not for a wedding.”

When it comes to makini

For men, the traditional
suit is always best, but bei
creative with your shirt is
acceptable. White and hint
work well and steppingouuo
try a different color is doable,
but avoiding earth tones is
essential. j n today’s world.a
black suit is not the only thiti
women can wear. Women are
lucky when it comes to the
business suit because they are
allowed more creativity in
style and color than theirmale
counterparts.
The Minimalist style of the

out glamour fest that is panic
ularly alive in large cities.T1k
average price for a pair of
Manolo Blahnik shoes is $45(1.
and the number of people I
know who would lay dour
that amount of money at this
point in their lives is zero
Jimmy C hoo. another high-end
shoe line, ranges in price from
$AfK) to $670. Although the
women who work in rhese
shoe boutiques are working
minimum wage jobs, they will
undoubtedly treat you like a
peasant while exuding the
snobbery of - British royalty
Do not waste your time in
these stores, but take the extra
time to find a pair that is just
as striking but less than half
the price.
It is all about mixing bar
gains with couture in creative
ways. An average suit jacket
and khaki pants will be updated
in an instant with a designer
scarf for men. A longer, fitted
coat is a necessary addition to
the wardrobe of the woman
w ith the new fabulous job in the
big city. A winter white or a red
will brighten up winter blues,
and a pastel trench coat is per
fect for spring.
No matter where the future
takes you, the laid-back tone of
College Station fashion should
never leave you. I have learned
that even a maroon T-shirt can
look good every day. and cow
boy boots will never go out o(
fashion. As it becomes time to
update my wardrobe to enter
into the business world, 1 know
that there will forever be a place
for my Maroon Out T-shirt.
