The Orange Carpet: Superman, Super-chic

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

Super heroes aren’t the only ones who can rock the cape trend. This super hero inspired trend is a chic alternative to winter coats. Cape’s are also the perfect transition piece from winter to spring. The cape trend re-works the indie poncho look and refines it into a chic winter jacket option.

The Orange Carpet spotted Lauren Taylor looking cozy and chic in her black cape and fur embellished high knee boots. This simple outfit is taken to another level with Taylor’s alternative to a pea coat. The best part is that this expensive looking cape if from H&M. Her jersey cape will be a great alternative to a cardigan in spring. It is also a great layering piece with long sleeves or a chunky scarf.

Cuse Closet: Casual Coffee Dates

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

Syracuse weather determines every outfit. When the weather is snowy and miserable, I pile on the layers and pull on the fuzzy snow boots. However, when the weather is only moderately cold, I can wear fewer layers and break out the flats.

Since the sun was shining, I decided to wear flats as opposed to my usually boots. I then chose my favorite pair of jeans with decorative stitching. My jeans determined what I would wear on top because I did not want to cover the decorative pockets.

I wore a cropped button-up sweatshirt and layered a plain white camisole underneath. The sweatshirt resembles a peacoat with the double-breasted buttons and therefore is dressy enough to avoid looking as though I just rolled out of bed. I then chose to carry an oversized black purse to hold all of my essentials.

My outfit is coffee date appropriate but still just as comfortable as yoga pants and a sweatshirt. I felt ready to take on my day filled with classes and of course, coffee (or in my case, tea).
