<p>S2? You parents need to chill it with your acronyms, honestly.</p>
<p>Highlife at least it isn’t the DD, DS abbreviations that really do not need to be there.</p>
<p>^^Haha, spelling out the word “son” obviously takes too much effort for some people. Three whole letters, and all. I never got the “DD/DS” thing either. I always think their talking about a Nintendo DS or something.</p>
<p>*They are.
Damn homophones.</p>
<p>^^ I visited the parents forum once and asked the same question. They mean “Dear Daughter” and “Dear Son.” Weird? Impractical? I think so.</p>
<p>Why don’t the parents just say son or daughter? That seems to be a bit more efficient. But to the question at hand. I would recommend wearing something comfortable. Just get a few pairs of jeans, a ton of tshirts (so they can easily be thrown on because in the morning when you’re hungover/very tired you just won’t care), a pair of khakis or two, some shorts (cargos are nice), a polo or 2, some sweatpants, and a suit for special occasions. I live in the south and sperrys are very common here. I like to wear them because they go with a lot of clothes and they’re comfortable but if you don’t like them than DON’T wear them. </p>
<p>And seriously. I wouldn’t pay more than $15 for a shirt. You can go to stores like H & M and even Target to buy some great looking clothes for an even better price. Yes Brooks Brothers may have great quality clothes but I went on the website and shirts in the clearance section were almost $50. That is way overpriced for the average person. </p>
<p>But that’s just me injecting my opinion…</p>
<p>“Why don’t the parents just say son or daughter? That seems to be a bit more efficient.”</p>
<p>The same reason we say “lol” instead of “haha.” You can’t believe that netspeak was REALLY created for convenience like the 11 year olds who tipe liek dis would like you to think, can you?</p>
<p>Blue plaid fedora. That’s all I plan on wearing.</p>
<p>In addition to whatever he has/wears regularly: sweaters, khakis, oxfords, Sperries.</p>
<p>Sweaters look so good on guys.</p>
<p>No Ed Hardy look or tight Emo pants please. Being able to see the blackboard without long hair obscuring your eyes helps too.
Seriously though, just be casual, express yourself how you want but don’t “dress-up”, it’s just school. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen guys look like they are going clubbing or girls wearing high heels with curled hair and a pound of foundation. Just have good hygiene and look neat - especially if recruiters are coming around and you want recommendations.</p>
<p>Glassesarechic and workworkwork are definitely correct.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The meaning of lol has become so mitigated by constant usage in inappropriate situations. Lmao is the new lol.</p>
<p>What is considered “winter clothing”? (I live in Phoenix)</p>
<p>When I think “winter clothing” I think jackets, coats, etc. I know there has to be something else. :)</p>
<p>scarves, beanies, snow boots</p>
<p>^^Long pants, boots, gloves, hats, real scarves (pashminas sometimes just don’t cut it), thermals, heavy-duty socks, turtlenecks, a puffer vest if you like those kinds of things, and obnoxiously thick snow pants.</p>
<p>Well, maybe not the last item. But anyone up north should have the rest, save for the pants and probably the puffer vest (upon further consideration). :)</p>
<p>and don’t forget the balaclavas (aka ski masks)</p>
<p>Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always like the look of khakis, green turtleneck and a blue blazer. In general, I just think that turtlenecks are an underrated, at least for college-aged people, layering item.</p>
<p>Turtlenecks are hideous.</p>
<p>^and are highly uncomfortable.</p>
<p>I don’t get how something that’s predominantly a solid color could be deemed hideous, but whatever. </p>
<p>I don’t find turtlenecks uncomfortable but then again, I don’t find ties uncomfortable either.</p>
<p>If anything, you guys are just proving my point that turtlenecks are underrated amongst the college crowd. I mean its a layering piece to wear when it’s cold or chilly outside.</p>
<p>And it makes your neck look fat. And stumpy.</p>
