It's time to start thinking about the next party holidays -- Christmas (or Hanukkah) parties and New Year's Eve.
For many, the word "sweater" conjures up images of pom-pom-riddled creations, often found on out-of-touch grandmothers. However, a good sweater will certainly prove its worth in the coming winter months. As a way to combat the cold without rocking the knitted-snowflake look, try one of these on.
Sailors, gypsy princesses and bumblebees will still roam the streets of State College this Halloween, despite the bad economy.
Conspicuous consumption is often the name of the game in the fashion world, but the Penn State Marketing Association aims to change that in its fashion show this weekend.
Goodbye to summer, where less is always better -- autumn gives people the option to add more clothing and individualize their outfits. From baggy sweaters, knee-high boots, scarves and jackets, the options for putting together an outfit during the colder months are endless.
In the past, drops in State College temperatures have caused a drop in fashion as well. Once the thermometer starts to fall, the amount of hoodies and full-body sweatsuits rises. However, this shift down in appearance is not necessary to stay warm.
The leaves are turning, the days are shortening and the signs of the encroaching fall are all around us.
As September comes to an end, Penn State begins to feel a bit more like fall.
There was a time when wearing boat shoes meant that you had either just gotten off the yacht or live on your own island and don't trouble with what is fashionable.
Like history, fashion repeats itself. Whether it's the '60s that are back in style with tie-dye T-shirts, a boho-chic trend borrowed from the '70s or neon colors and leggings from the '80s, it's hard to find a trend that is truly original.
Typically what the audience is wearing at a concert isn't too important, but it is something a fan should think about before heading out the door.
Fall at Penn State means two things: football and tailgates. The swarms of Penn Staters streaming in, dutifully decked out in their blue-and-white best, form a veritable ocean around Beaver Stadium come tailgate time.
With the new year comes a new set of rules for what is in and what needs to get moved to the back of the closet. As for State College shop owners, many were ready and willing to shed some light on what fashion-savvy students should expect for the rest of the winter season in 2009.
The line dance for the 2008 Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon included the lyrics, "grab your iPhone, make a call."
With every New Year comes the dreaded resolution -- losing weight. Whether you just want to hit the gym more than once a month or if the goal is to look like Jessica Simpson in a bikini, there's no doubt that fit is in this spring. Since the gym has to be wedged between class, lunch and meetings, something that actually flatters your figure works best. And if you just can't seem to get into the healthy spirit, see if some of these trends will get you started:
Who: Katherine Grant (senior-history and English)
Who: Clare Bakewell (junior-chemistry)
This winter season, avid texters and cell phone fanatics won't need to worry about losing fingers with the glacial winds that too often plague State College.
There's no crying in baseball -- or in fashion.
