Cuse Closet: The preps are going PUNK

Cuse Closet peeks inside the staff's wardrobes to find out where we're going and how good we look getting there. 

Today's Closet: Maria Sonico

When the weather sucks, like yesterday, my Docs are my saviors. These classic boots once worn by British punks and later co-opted by 90s hipsters are back again. They're comfortable and warm, and they don't clash with my clothes the way bulky rain boots tend to.

I wore the boots with my favorite skinny jeans and topped the look off with a denim button-up and wool cardigan. Denim on denim can work, as long as they're different washes. 

I tucked the shirt in, but rolled up the sleeves to keep it casual. I love the preppy-punk combo, and the crest on my cardigan paired with my Docs creates the perfect balance. 

This is my go-to style for class because it's polished while still being edgy.   

Cardigan: Urban Outfitters  
Shirt: American Eagle
