STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Vintage Cheer

The first home football game of the season brings out an all-American school spirit with cheering fans, grilling burgers, and sideline tailgates. Such an event is the perfect place to showcase your school pride by sporting your school's apparel with an old-campus twist.

Rather than sporting the usual worn-in sweatshirt or wrinkled cotton T, these two Yale Fashionistas take on a vintage 50's cheer-inspired look with navy blue crew neck sweaters. The thick material, baggy fit, and center-sewn "Y" all emulate this modest, vintage school-girl charm. They keep the look modern and relevant, however, with jean shorts both white and dark wash, cuffed and non-cuffed, and varying shoes from gladiator sandals to metallic Jack Rogers.

Wear your school's name and colors proud this fall while borrowing from old-school styles. If you want to go even more Grease, pair this school girl sweater with a classic pleated skirt. Just keep the styling fresh by trading in the knee length for a shorter cut and adding bold accessories.
