Campus Style: It’s All About the Socks

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

Style is unique for each individual. Some prefer to switch up their look every day of the week, and some like to fall back on their tried-and-true wardrobe essentials. Nicole Graney falls into the latter of the two. Building her outfits from key pieces in her wardrobe, Nicole has perfected her personal style. Boots and meaningful jewelry are the foundation for the majority of her outfits. She also shared some tips about spicing up her favorite basics. Funky socks and combat boots, anyone? Keep reading to learn more about where Nicole got her outfit!

Name: Nicole Graney
Age: 18
Year: freshman
Major: public relations

Her Campus: What are you wearing and where is it from?
Nicole Graney: “I’m wearing a grey cardigan from Abercrombie & Fitch. My jeans are also from there. I have on a long-sleeved shirt from Lucky Brand, and my earrings are from there, too. My socks are from J.Crew. The boots are Steve Madden.”

HC: What is your main fashion staple?
NG: “I live in my boots! They’re so comfortable and easy to throw on. The majority of the time you will find me wearing some type of boot. I think I have around five different pairs. My favorites are the ones with a zipper so you don’t have to lace them each time! I also love how you can switch up their look a little bit by matching patterned socks with them.”

HC: How would you describe your personal style?
NG: “I don’t really think of myself as a terribly fashionable person. I like to wear what I find comfortable, so I’m mostly in boots, jeans and a top depending on the weather. I take the cozy route way more than the stylish one.”

HC: What is your favorite thing you’re wearing right now?
NG: “Besides my boots, I love this necklace. The Z is for my dog Zima that we had to put down. I love that I get to carry a little piece of her around with me. I rarely take it off.”
