Cuse Closet: Tights are what's up

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

Great fashion is seasonal. And while it may not be freezing yet, everyone who lives in Syracuse knows winter is coming soon. 

Walking to class in snowstorms makes sweatpants straight-up irresistible. But a great way to avoid the sin of sweats - especially when all your jeans are dirty - is to wear tights. 

They’re surprisingly warm if you get a thicker thread count and they can make you look classy or cute (maybe even both if you’re skilled) while accentuating the length of your legs. Not a bad deal, if you ask me.

I decided to wear tights with an autumn-like plaid mini dress. I wore a black t-shirt under the dress, which made the look a little more conservative to balance out the short length. I decided to wear heels though, to “rock” the length in a sense. 

And finally to accessorize, I added gold hoops and a funky headband.
