Fashion Student Dress Up

The wardrobe is a student's: charity-shop coats, oversized shirts, workwear trousers, boots, tote bags and a handful of genuinely good pieces bought carefully. Colors are mixed rather than coordinated, which is the register.

Dressing on a budget is a different brief from dressing well, and the interest is in which single piece is worth the money. Everything around it can be scruffy if that one is right. A specific and quietly realistic take, and a change from the aspirational end of the catalogue.
