The Orange Carpet: Revamped Denim

The Orange Carpet scours SU to roll out the best of campus style (die, hoodies, die!).


A sunny fall day brought out the most fashionable outfits Syracuse has to offer. The Orange Carpet caught up with Victoria Troxler, a sophomore Magazine major. Troxler was spotted wearing the classic combination of leggings, a loose fitted shirt and tall boots. But what really helps Troxler’s outfit stand out was her on-trend denim vest. Denim is popping up everywhere this fall besides your basic pair of jeans. Troxler’s outfit demonstrates that wearing denim in unexpected items such as vests, or shirts really helps an outfit stand out.

Besides the fact that denim in unexpected places is a fashion DO, Troxler’s stylish outfit helps us see the value of recycling your own clothing. Embracing the current trends and being stylish on a college student’s budget can be challenging. A foolproof way to stretch your shopping dollars is to take a look at what is already in your wardrobe. Here, Troxler revamped an old denim jacket and turned it into the eye-catching vest she is wearing today. Get inspired by Troxler’s outfit and take a look at what you already own. Have any old jackets you could turn into a vest? An old pair of jeans to crop into shorts?


Troxler’s favorite trend of the moment are fur vests, She describes her style as easy but edgy.

Troxler is wearing:


Leggings: American Apparel

Boots: Target (only $10 on sale!)

Shirt: Free People

Vest: Her own denim jacket she converted into a vest


Copy Troxler’s style with these denim pieces:
