1 Colle t ' IQI5 Each class da ' ev WorrcT ' L me student faces the same question, What will I wear to class? While a quick glimpse inside the Notre Dame football stadium on game day will give the impression that students are all green-sliirted clones, students break away from tliis mold during the week. Each student has his or her own style and standards for dressing for class. For many students who attended private schexils before comiiig to Notre Dame, the absence of a schixil uiiifomi is a new experience. For Freshman Kaitlin Mtiran, wearing a unifomi was so much easier but. . . I like being able to get up and put on whatever 1 want. lii college, students possess the freedom to select clothes that fit their personalities and schedules. Some students put a lot of time and effort into their appearances for class. Dress shirts for guys and skirts for girls present the image of composed and serious students eager to embrace the academic world — or at the very least, students ready to give an in-class presentation or attend a job interview. Basic questions many students take into consideration when dressing for class include: Do I match? Wlien was the last time I wore tliis outfit? When will 1 work out? The majority of students embrace a casual style that relies heavily upon an American favorite — denim jeans. Students pair jeans with anytliiiig from dressier sliirts to t-shirts. Favorite t-shirt themes include Notre Dame aiid domi t-sliirts, as well as hometown sports team and favorite bands. Some students take an even more simplisric approach to getting dressed. Socks. Deodorant. Underwear. That ' s it, explained Junior Joe Pomerenke. The number of rimes students hit the snooze button, as well as how man ' hours they slept, often contribute to the decision to dress down for class. The t-shirts and sweat pants of exam weeks reflect a shift in prioriries. Students worry about finishing papers and studying for tests rather than the seeiningly trivial matter of physical appearance. Despite the many different approaches students have for dressing for class, there appears to be one universal corrsiderarion — the desire to dress to impress ...the opposite sex, that is. Many female students admit to dressing for whom they will see that particular day.
