Depending on where you live, styles differ for everyone। Traveling from the west coast to the east coast, you can notice many major style changes. Being from L.A., I am most familiar with the west coast style. When I asked 19-year-old sophomore from Santa Monica College, Marissa Littell, to describe the style there she mentioned "Nikes, sandals all year round, skinny jeans, and the newest trend, colored jeans."
^She said that many people are also into moccasins, flannels, crazy colored tights and headbands. In my own opinion, a lot of the style in L.A. is modeled after it's endless graffiti and street art. There is a funky feel to the style on the west coast, and lose shirts with sunglasses are always in because it is hot almost all year round. When I decided to come to the east coast for school, I was interested in seeing the style over here, as well as bringing my own style from California.
Molly Hubley, a 19 year old freshman at Parsons College in New York, described her view of style in the big apple। She said it was hard to put a name on what style is in New York because it is so diverse। She said there is everything from "the bum, grunge look, to the most elite dressed people. Some people wear knock offs that they find on the millions of stands around the city, and some people wear only designer brands."
^As you can see in the picture of a girl who lives in New York, heels with skinny jeans, a nice shirt and a warmer, slimming, sophisticated jacket go well together to give off a classy, stylish city girl look। Since it gets colder on the east coast, Molly mentioned "heavy pea coats for winter, scarves, boots, gloves and hats" will be seen when fall and winter come around.
^Boston is a city where most people have different opinions as far as style goes। It isn't as big or noisy of a city as New York, but has a laid back, chill vibe to it. Lindsey Alston, a 21 year old junior at Emerson College, described Boston's style as "metro and grungy." She said things such as "boots, leggings, skinny jeans, longer shirts and jackets" are often seen around Boston. Since it gets freezing in Boston as well, "trench coats, rain boots and longer jackets to the knees" come in handy for the cold season. There are many different opinions on what style is in these different areas, and these are just some of the numerous types that exist coast to coast.

As i'm looking at this blog, you guys obviously know what you're talking about--but, if you're going to keep doing sartorialist type blogging about emerson/boston fashion (which you totally should), please branch outside your group of friends, because there really are various tastes at emerson in what clothing and people are attractive.
keep up the good work.
