<p>I can’t even imagine a boy having 6 bags worth of clothes. He’ll need jeans, a pair of khakis, a couple pairs of shorts, a mix of short and long-sleeved tee shirts, a button-down, and a couple of hoodies. Fourteen pairs of underwear and socks. Sneakers, flip-flops. Fall jacket. Maybe a blazer, depending on the school and his extracurrics.</p>
<p>Winter gear is highly dependent on the size of the campus and issues like waiting for a bus. Chicago wind can be brutal. But much better to take him shopping in Chicago in October. (I am extremely dubious that college age boys wear winter boots to class, by the way.)</p>
