A crisp suit is not exactly the norm for college students. I certainly don’t consider my pencil skirt and tailored blouse as my first choice of clothingto wear to class. However, it is so refreshing to see Sacred Heart students cleaned up and grown up, instead of the typical jeans and hoodies that have become the quintessential wardrobe for so many college undergrads.

With many businesses coming to campus and senior portraits being taken, I have seen more people dressed up than usual, besides professors and administrators, of course. Take a look at today’s Fashionisto. The second I saw him in the hallway, I knew he needed to be this week’s College Fashionisto. His basic black pin-stripe suit is a versatile necessity for anyone’s closet. With interviews and the “real world” heading our way, jeans and T-shirts just won’t cut it.

Throwing on a well-fitting suit and adding personal touches with the button-down shirt and tie speaks volumes over even the nicest polo and khakis. Every outfit has an occasion, and this Fashionisto’s screams “professional.” Looking your best is important in this day and age to get the job you desire. Finding a job is extremely competitive in today’s market, so it’s crucial to stand out among anyone else going for the same position. This suit is a winning look.
