It has been said that many Gettysburg students dress in the same manner, from our Bean boots to some Vinny Vines there can be many similar wardrobes across campus. Gettysburg students often look towards, J.C. aka J. Crew for guidance on what to wear. While walking around Gettysburg you probably won’t find an abundance of students bumming around in sweatpants, but students donning more “classic” and “put together” looks. Regardless of your own personal tastes, it is always important to wear something that makes you happy. And remember…you can never have too much Orange and Blue!
McKnight:
Maybe you are watching a squirrel from your French class window. If that’s the case then you probably aren’t quite ready for summer to be over, try combining the season’s hottest trend, off the shoulder dresses and shirts.

We all have had those days when you are running late for that 8 am class, just remember to stay calm and cute when you are running through campus.

Later in the day, you can trade the boots in for sneakers for a quick jog before dinner.

Breidenbaugh:
If you are new to Gettysburg, you will quickly learn that it can rain heavily in just a matter of a few minutes. To keep you dry from running to the library to the nook on the fourth floor of Breidenbaugh, I strongly suggest investing in a sturdy pair of rain boots and an umbrella. Pick a bold print or color for your rain boots, no one ever wants to be dreary on a rainy day.

Glatfelter, the beloved building on campus deserves a grand outfit to match its own style. Maybe that guy you sit next to in Poli Sci just asked you out.

Masters:
It would be difficult to compile a series of Gettysburg-themed outfits and not add a pair of boat shoes. If Gettysburg students aren’t wearing their Bean boots, chances are they are strolling along in a pair of boat shoes. The common brand will always be Sperry, but I personally love my pair of Sebago shoes. Regardless of your preferred brand, boat shoes are a comfy choice for your Physics lecture.
