Fashion Fridays: Light Layers and Spring Kicks

DSC_2210

As Sproul quieted down after ASUC campaign season, the campus’ best dressed kids had an opportunity to shine even more this week. With a perfectly even temperature of 70 degrees throughout the week, light spring layering became the key trend on campus, and students have been excited for pastel on everything, from tailored blazers to contemporary bomber jackets. Meanwhile, sunnier days have made way for lighter footwear such as boat shoes, white low tops and Birkenstocks — a nod to the hyper-ironic Normcore trend that’s puzzled the press. We decided to also take a look at some of UC Berkeley students’ fresh kicks this week.
