The fashion here at Baylor is what really makes this school unlike all other universities.. It’s safe to say that the overall the look that Baylor students have is very “casual,” especially for the girls.
The typical Baylor girl is known for her distinct style. The unwritten rule is that upon admission to the freshman class every girl must buy at least one pair of Nike shorts. They come in all different colors, even custom Baylor versions from the bookstore. Girls wear Nike shorts wherever and whenever.
The reasons for their popularity? There are a few. First, they’re very comfortable. When one has to walk around a campus the size of Baylor and with the heat of Texas, you definitely don’t want your clothes to weigh you down. Second, Nike shorts tend to make almost everyone’s legs look good. With female students usually gaining the “freshman fifteen,” it is the easiest way to help others not notice. Lastly, Nike shorts come in all different color combinations, making them fun and desirable.
But what do I then wear with my Nike shorts you ask? Once you are in a sorority, you will be receiving endless amounts of t-shirts. When you’re not wearing your sorority shirts, then most people wear either Baylor shirts or any other fun type of t-shirt.
Then comes the shoes! Although Nike’s most recent release, the “frees,” are very popular at the moment, freshman year is all about the “Toms.” Hearts and Crafts is a store located right across from campus next to Common Grounds. After every girl buys a hand-painted template with their name and “Sic ’em, Bears” on it, she then goes for a pair of Toms. But why at Hearts and Crafts? Because they custom paint Toms and nothing says first year at Baylor like some green and gold Toms. Plus, with every pair of toms you buy, a pair of shoes goes to a kid in need somewhere in the world.
After the outfit is complete, it’s time to finish it with a Coach brand sling. These are more practical than purses because they hold just the items you desperately need: wallet, Baylor ID, keys, phone and lip-gloss. The sling can look casual for daytime activities or nice enough for places such as church or dinner. It’s hands free, making the life of a college girl only that much easier, and looks super cute!
Now you are officially ready for Baylor. You will not only look the part, but also rock it. But don’t worry, even though it may seem like you will just blend in because all the girls are wearing the same thing, you wont because Nike shorts are now neon and it’s all the rage!
