Buyer guide

What to look for in Campus Style

Four things we check before a product earns a slot. Use them even if you buy something we did not list.

  • Three fits, not thirtyLecture, going-out, and interview. Everything else is a variation on those three.
  • Laundry cycle testIf it needs hand-washing, it will sit in your hamper until winter break.
  • Layer for a walking campusA shell over a mid-layer beats one heavy coat you cannot carry into a lecture hall.
  • Shoes are a mileage purchaseYou will walk five to eight miles a day. Buy the outsole, not the colourway.
