<p>What schools do people think of when the image of a well-dressed guy or girl is conjured?</p>
<p>I know like USC and Vanderbilt and UVA have those reputations (I think), but I'm interested in learning more schools that are similar. While being well-dressed is not the only criterion, I would like an environment that does pay attention to aesthetic quality, especially of oneself. I do not feel that I would hate a sweatpants, throw-on-in-the-dark sort of wardrobe, but it would be nice to be around people that cared about appearance.</p>
<p>USC, Vandy, and UVA? I can see that with Vandy and UVA as well-dressed…but it’s hard for me to call USC well-dressed considering the less clothing the better when it comes to friends I know going to USC. Well dressed is relative.</p>
<p>Howabout good ole Southern Methodist University in Dallas.</p>
<p>I tend to associate the “image” of a school with the cars in the student lot. yea, I’m a huge car guy what can I say.</p>
<p>anyways, I know car-wise BU is up there. There’s a good number of BU people in my Bimmer car club.
USC isn’t far behind. other schools - NYU, Pepperdine, BC, Georgetown, GWU, UMiami. etc etc</p>
<p>Notice its all private. and all in good locations.</p>
<p>I remember being in shock at how dressed up for class everyone was at American. I saw like two people in sweatpants the entire time and they were clearly athletes going to or coming from practice.</p>
<p>USC, Vandy, UVA, Duke, NYU, Georgetown, SMU come to mind. Mostly private schools in cities or the south. If you want really well dressed though I’d think Cambridge or Oxford.</p>
<p>Princeton possibly? There isn’t much of that pure old money look anymore, but from the pictures I’ve seen, it seems like people put some thought into their dress. And the people that aren’t the fanciest dressed (in t-shirts and such) still seem to take the time to pick out stylish clothes that match the rest of their wardrobe.</p>
<p>I actually find it weird that people expect to see sweat pants. maybe its because i live in la, and have so my whole life…but i think it becomes second nature. I would tend to think most schools in cities have kids that “dress up.” i just think it’s a persons style. i don’t think there are people whose style is sweatpants. grunge yes, but sweatpants?</p>
<p>^^there are people who live in sweats. in the midwest-at least in ks- all you wear is sweats and you get dirty looks if you’re too well dressed too “out there”</p>
<p>in chicagoland (not really midwest but oh well) it’s mostly sweats/jeans, athletic or cargo shorts, t-shirts, and sweat shirts. Is that pretty normal dress on the coasts or down south?</p>
<p>Ralph Lauren is probably the most popular thing to wear down here in the south. I have relatives up north in Minnesota that say we dress like Easter eggs.</p>
do they call oklahoma city “the city?'”</p>
