I may blame Russell Smith's "Thinking Man's Guide to Style" for this, but lately I've become much more conscious of what people around this school are wearing. It's also made me more conscious of the gap I feel between where I am in my life right now and were I was as an undergrad two years ago. I quite LIKE feeling grown up. And inwardly laughing at the students. Particularly the guys.
I mean, c'mon. Are you over the age of 14? Are you currently playing baseball, and I mean at this exact moment? Then lose the baseball cap. (If you're unable to do that, wear it lower on your head. It looks stupid atop your noggin like some kind of beanie.)
There seems to have been an explosion in "class clown" style. The "Hey look, I dress like I'm 12, wear sneakers, stupid pants and t-shirts with 'student x-ing' written on them!"
In the words of Mr. Smith himself, everybody likes the class clown. Nobody sleeps with the class clown. It's an important distinction.
