The latest trend on college campuses, Clemson’s at least, seems to be having anything and everything monogrammed.
I fall victim to this trend, having even the floor mats to my car monogrammed. To me, having your initials stitched on to a personal item is way of individualization. Not only is it the latest style for teenage girls and young women, it is a trend that I see to continue on for years.
Monogramming is a trend that allows individuals to embrace their name, and the kind of person they represent. It allows them to be proud of who they are and what they’ve become.
Monograms can be a way of showing true style and personality. Some may view this style as preppy and unique and can be seen on a variety of items. Rainboots (which we all know everyone on Clemson’s campus owns), rain jackets, hats, scarfs, pocket T-shirts, sweatshirts, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, koozies, Tervis Tumblrs, and even iPhone covers fall into the category of the monogrammed items that you’ll see on campus.
What most people stereotype though, is that monograms are just for women. However, this is false and can be proven otherwise. Monograms for men and women differ in appearance. For women, the monogram will consist of three initials, with the last initial larger and in the middle. For men, however, all three initials are of the same size and in the correct sequence.
