Escape from the Uggs! While we all love our favorite go to boot, don’t let your sense of style get lost in the sea of Northfaces and Uggs that flood campus every fall. These 4 style savvy girls stay ahead of the tide with boots that combine looks, practicality and comfort to keep them high and dry in this cold rainy Chicago fall.
Classic!
Chrissey Nguyen
Major: Pre Pharmacy

Bag: Chloe
Fall Staple: Sweaters paired with scarves
Chrissey pairs the classic fall leather boot with a sweet pastel peacoat and tops it off with the perfect gray bag with matching leather accents to offset her boots. By keeping it classy Chrissey beats the wave of repetitive fleeces and over used Uggs, while still maintaining her comfortable yet girly style.
Bold!
Nabiha Quadri
Major: Neuroscience
Jacket: Old Navy
Boots: Macy’s
Fall Staple: Her favorite cozy sweater
Nabiba takes bright and bold to a new level by combining her magenta jacket and two toned boots. Standing out in the sea of mismatched colors that plagues fall as stylistas scrounge in their closest to keep warm, Nabiba’s bold choice is both practical and unique.
Short and Simple!
Caylen Doyle
Major: Architecture
Jacket: Nordstrom
Boots: Zara
Fall Staple: Her black Peacoat
Caylen keeps her everyday look simple, but not sloppy. Pairing all black attire with her short black boots she achieves a both practical and stylish outfit to protect her from the Chicago fall, easy to rock day or night.
Lace Up!
Chinyere Evulukwu
Major: Criminal Law and Sociology
Jacket: Charlotte Russe
Top: Agaci

Chinyere pairs a classic neutral coat and jeans with a pop of color top and complementing lace up boots with another peek of color. This is a great twist on the usual lace up leather boot, adding color to the bland fall landscape of the Quad.
So campus stylistas, take a note from these ladies and don’t be afraid to rock bold colors, stay sweet with pastels, or keep it simple with a monotone look. Either way, don’t let your style sag in the fall rut!
