1.) First Dates.

Amanda - D&M Major

“Go out. Meet new people. Indulge in sensuality.”  

2.) Leap Years 

Amanda - D&M Major

“The only definite in life.” 

 3.) Letting Go of the Past  

Bobby - Fashion design major

“2024, settle the score.” 

4.) Wonton Soup 

Bobby - Fashion design major

“Lil B said it best: ‘Eat that wonton soup.’”  

5.) Learning a New Language 

Bobby - Fashion design major

“Bilingual, Trilingual, just new ways to say ‘I love you.’”  

 

6.) B&W Photos  

CJ - Marketing major

“Clean, throwback, focuses on the ideas and not the commentary.”  

 

7.) Ties  

Divina - Communications major  

“Let's keep it classy, please.” 

8.) Digging through Vogue Archives  

Divina - Communications major  

“Drexel’s basement is home to some pearls. It's always nice to grab an old Vogue on a cold day and curl up on the couch. Inspiration for days.”

9.) Armor 

Ellie - D&M major  

“Chainmail, Greaves, and metal chest plates are all the rage for high-end fantasy couture. From Balenciaga FW21 resurfacing on TikTok to Bella Hadid's chrome metal look for MJ Heaven F23, we all want to experience a little medieval fantasy this season.” 

10.) Dog Clothes  

Ellie - D&M major

“These doggies are getting cold and are not the type of chilly dogs you want.”  

 

11.) Red Anything  

Hala - D&M major

“People shouldn't be afraid to wear red.”  

12.) Skinny Scarves

Harper - English major 

“Slinky, sexy, very Hedi.” 

13.) “No” 

Izzy - D&M major

“Just say no; if you don't want to, don't do it.” 

 

14.) Frosty Eyeshadow

Julia Kulik - D&M major

“Crispy and clean.” 

15.) Tanghulu

Krysta - D&M major 

“Tasty treats to share with friends, especially in these cold months.” 

16.) Being Single  

Lauren - D&M major  

“Explore the realm of singleness.”  

 

17.) White face paint 

Lauren - D&M major  

“Whether it's avant-garde clown looks from Violet Chachki or Pat Mcgrath's Margiela glass skin, everyone is feeling their porcelain oats.”   

 

18.) Bright White eyeshadow 

Lauren - D&M major  

“Especially if it's defused and paired with a bold liner or lash, it aligns with the "Dark Feminine" aesthetic and brings out the eyes. Tie it together with a thin brow, and you're the femme fatale of everyone's dreams.”  

 

19.) Sunglasses  

Maya - Fashion Design major

“Keep it cute and keep it mute; grab some sunnies and keep it moving.” 

 

20.) Wearing What You Want  

Maya - Fashion Design major 

“Time to stop wearing what you see and start wearing what you like. Figure out what elements of clothes intrigue you and why.”  

 

21.) Being Funny  

Maya - Fashion Design major 

“Notice it does not say, “Try being funny.” Know your place; if you are funny, keep it coming. If you’re not, keep pushing.” 

 

22.) Chihuahua 

Mia - D&M major  

“They’re mini, and they work.”  

 

23.) Listening to Early 70s Jazz Fusion Records 

Nick - D&M (faculty) 

“It has a little surrealist vibe with so many things mashed together. There used to be a lot of hate for early '70s fusion, but it's heavily appreciated now.”  

 

24.) Dumplings

Nick - D&M (faculty) 

“Warmth for the heart.” 

 

25.) Colorful Tights  

Nyah - D&M major

“Gives your outfit that extra oomph.”  

 

26.) Silver Chunky Hoops 

Shea - D&M major  

“Big bold but still opulent.”  

 

27.) Balaclava Scarves 

Summer - Film & Television major

“They’re so cute and so warm. A balaclava and a baseball hat are a great mix, but the scarf must be really cute. I love the ones mixed with many colors or just monochrome.” 

 

28.) Uggs/Any Warm Boot 

Summer - Film & Television major  

“I have to walk at least 15 minutes to class daily, and I like being cozy! I specifically enjoy wearing baggy jeans or pants over my Uggs.”  

 

29.) Fur EVERYTHING 

Sydney - D&M major

“Fur jackets, vests, boots, hats, and scarves… not only do they keep you warm, but they look CHIC!!”  

30.) Trench Coats 

Talal - Public Health major  

“I think trench coats & overcoats are going to be more in this winter. Compared to winter jackets and puffers/parkas, I think the more formal look with a trench-like coat is something more people should start wearing instead of their more utility-style counterparts.”
