As winter is truly upon us and the festive season is approaching, fashion around campus is beginning to change. On the way out are the linen trousers and t-shirts, being replaced by hats, scarves, gloves, anything to try and keep remotely warm.

What I have noticed most of all these last few weeks on campus though is trench coats! We all know the feeling when you perfectly curate an outfit, only to ruin it with a big puffer jacket because of the Baltic temperatures outside. With a trench coat, it elevates the outfit and keeps you warm – who wants to have to sacrifice their fashionable outfit due to the freezing cold?
Trench coats are often associated with high price tags, but this definitely does not have to be the case! Primark sell an abundance of trench coats, and whilst they are cheaper, the quality is not always there. I would recommend high street shops like Stradivarius, H&M, or Pull & Bear – they are affordable but excellently made. I bought a grey one from Stradivarius for only £35, and it keeps me warm when going between lectures and seminars and is a gorgeous accessory to any wintry outfit!
So… what fashion have you noticed around campus? Come to the SMA and write an instalment of Campus Catwalk!
