Stop Buying Clothes in Colors You Hate

BUILT OFF T By Nash Hill

THE BRAND When you enter the world of fashion, it’s easy to be intimidated by the multitude of brands that people parade. Raf Simons, Rick Owens, and Louis Vuitton are just a few designers dominating the world of fashion. It’s common to fall into the trap of believing that these names make someone fashionable. If you’re not flashing expensive clothing, then who cares what you’re wearing? This mentality arises in streetwear too; people obsess over Yeezy’s and Supreme, and eventually their purchases become dictated by how much weight the brand name carries. Frankly, a great deal of people don’t know how to dress, and they end up letting the brand carry their image. There are many uninspired outfits that people wear, but the pieces carry hype. People with these wardrobes are hypebeasts. They wear basic outfits, color and piece wise, but the shoes or hoodie might be an expensive brand. An example of this is the classic Supreme box logo hoodie and a pair of Yeezy’s look. Although the outfit will look clean, are they really dressing to their full potential? Fashion is about more than exhibiting a good look; it’s about exhibiting

yourself. Outfits that display a variety of color or goofy designs are a lot more interesting than one that's minimalistic. Look at Tyler, the Creator; his outfits are loud and colorful, portraying his personality. Although minimalism can be clean, it’s easily confused with lazy attire (this is a good part of fashion where designer clothes can actually make a difference, but that’s another discussion). Part of finding your own style is experimenting. A thrift store is a great place to do this, allowing you to find unorthodox pieces of clothing that will quickly expand a wardrobe into a collection of interesting outfits. Learning to build your closet from a basic perspective can make you much better at dressing yourself. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with wearing high-fashion, and the brand can become an accessory. If you have an already well put together outfit, and on top of that you’re sporting a Raf jacket, the brand only elevates the look. Subtly dressing in brands can accentuate the important and interesting pieces of the outfit, but the name of the brand doesn’t make or break what you’re wearing.

Fall Makeup Tutorial By Isabella D’Urso

The first part to obtaining a great makeup look, is to start with a clean base, and to apply primer. I use the NYX Angel Veil Primer to smooth the texture on my face, and provide an even base to apply my makeup onto. I administer an extra amount over my t zone to control oil and fill in my pores. Taking the Milani Conceal+ Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer, I dot the product all around my face, putting more around areas that need more coverage. Grabbing a damp sponge, I start to pat the product over my face and down my neck. It’s important to ensure that all the product is blended out evenly, to avoid having blotches of pigment, or a buildup of product.

After my foundation is evenly distributed, I conceal under my eyes, down the center of my nose, the center of my forehead, and the middle of my chin. I use a concealer one or two shades lighter than my skin tone to highlight my face and blend it with a sponge. I put the concealer on my eyelids, to camouflage the blue and purple hues of the veins. I use the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer for this step!

Next, I set all the parts I concealed with a loose setting powder. I like the Coty Airspun powder. Using a fluffy brush, I gently tap/sweep the powder over the concealed areas. You do not want to rub it in or be to heavy handed as it will disrupt the product underneath. Make sure to blend out all creases before applying powder overtop, and once you put powder down, you cannot apply anymore cream or liquid products. By powdering the concealer on your eyelids, you have now primed your eyelids and created a great base for eyeshadow. At this time, you should put the loose powder over any areas that may get oily for you throughout the day, to avoid this from happening.

Following the setting of the under eyes and eyelids, I set my whole face and neck with the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder and a big fluffy brush. I then take a warmer toned bronzer, like the Too Faced Sweet Tea Bronzer, and evenly distribute this to my temples, the side of my face, cheeks, and lightly on my jaw line. I also love to take it down the sides of my nose, because it brings color to the center of the face and contours the nose to make it look thinner! The trick is to bronze in a “3” pattern on the sides of your face. This is also a good time to contour with a cooler tone right in the dips on your cheek bone to create a chiseled look. Benefit’s Rockateur Blush is my favorite, and I lightly dust the powder over the apples of my cheeks and up a bit, for a natural flush. The Balm’s Mary Lou-Manizer Highlight is a great mix between subtle and bold, so using this on a fan brush I hit the high points of my face like the tops of my cheekbones, down my nose and the tip and my cupids bow. You don’t want to apply this product too far down your cheeks, because then you get close to your pores, and highlighters emphasize any texture or imperfection it goes over top of.

Using the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, I spritz a generous amount all over my face. With my damp sponge, I gently tap this into my skin so the liquids and powders melt together, and fan my face dry. This will form a flawless base that looks like skin. This step really locks in all your makeup, and will eliminate the dry powder look that will be on your face. I highly recommend this step.

After my face is set, I comb my eyebrows through with a spoolie into the shape I want. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder is pigmented and great to fill in the tail/end and any gaps in my brows. Depending on the boldness you want, you can use powders, pomades or pencils to achieve the desired look. A good tip is to fill in the tail of your brow darker than the front for a gradient and natural effect. Setting the brow hairs in place with some brow gel, like the Essence Make Me Brow, will ensure that your eyebrow hairs stay in place all day, and will emphasize the actual brow hairs, making them look fuller and more natural.

Since I already primed my eyelids before, I can start on my eyeshadow. The first step I do that I think helps is sweeping a flesh toned eyeshadow all over my eyelid to make blending easier in the future. Using a warm brown eyeshadow, I buff this color all through my crease with a blending brush. When beginning to apply crease colors, you want to start out with a lighter color and softly sweep the pigment, progressively taking darker colors to deepen the crease. The outer “v” of your eyelid is where you want the darkest of colors to lay, so anytime you place eyeshadow, you want to start first by placing your brush on the outer corner, so if you have too much pigment, it won’t ruin the whole eye look. Next, I use a darker brown and place this in the outer corner, and blend it up into my crease a bit, but for the most part I leave it in the outer corner. After darkening the look, I take a concealer on a small stiff brush and carve out the inner first half of my lid with concealer to cancel out all color. After smoothing it out, set it with the same flesh toned eyeshadow used before. Next, apply the NYX Glitter Primer, cover all the concealer you put down with about two layers of the product. I used NYX Face and Body Glitter in Gold and a small brush to pick up the loose glitter and pat it across the primer. With a small fluffy brush, place a golden highlight color from the highlight you used on your face or any eyeshadow you have, and place this on the inner corner and along the brow bone.

On my lower lash line, I buff the first warm brown color I used in my crease and run it all along the bottom. Using the darker brown I used in the outer v, I place that over top, closer to the lash line. Finally, I take the NYX Glitter Primer and dot that in the center of my lower lash line. Taking a black liner, like the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, I make a thin line along my upper lash line and put a flesh toned eyeliner in my water line. Curling my lashes, I then take the L’Oréal Lash Paradise Mascara and darken my upper and lower lashes. (You can apply fake eyelashes here if you’d like). Next is to line the lips. Using a brick colored lip liner, I outline my lips to avoid feathering and misplacement of my lipstick. I take the Colourpop Lippy Stick in the Matte X formula and use the shade Cami to swipe this over my lips. You can also use a dark red lip or a nude lip, whatever you like! Use concealer to correct any mistakes you make.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, and no, not because you can “be whoever you want”, but because when you walk the streets on Halloween night, you are walking through the main events of the year. It reflects the culture of our society and what events defined the past year. I remember last year for 2016, the most popular costume was Harley Quinn from the film Suicide Squad. While the Suicide Squad movie did not do well in the box office, the Joker’s main lady left a lasting impression on the audience. Her look become iconic, from her red and blue pigtails to the Puddin choker, everyone was Harley Quinn that Halloween. I also saw my fair share of Hillary and Trump masks, reflecting the 2016 presidential election. At first I thought this culture representation on Halloween was something that my generation bought into, but after a quick search on Google, that was clearly not the case. This has been going on for years. In 2013, the main costume for the evening was Miley Cyrus from her MTV: Video Music Awards performance. Her performance was the highlight of the year and left an impact on the culture that sparked a wave teddy bear leotards on Halloween night. In 2001, the first Harry Potter movie was released. People not only dressed as Harry Potter himself, but wore robes from their favorite Hogwarts house. In 1996, it was the Ghost Face killer from Scream, the popular slasher movie of the time. The simplicity of the costume made it easy to duplicate. In 1985, Hulk Hogan made his debut on WrestleMania and left a lasting impression on the audience, that led to hundreds of Hogan’s walking the street. Also, Elvira costumes were another main attraction, due to her hosting of the Thriller Show. As Halloween night came and went the same trend was present. I saw people go the political route with Trump and Kim Jung Un masks and little kids dressed as the Hawaiian Princess, Moana. However, the two biggest costumes of the night were Wonder Woman and Pennywise, the Dancing Clown from Stephen King's IT. Wonder Women set records as the highest grossing film with a female director and was an amazing symbol for empowering women. Pennywise from IT, on the other hand, was a terrifying movie that left grown men and women cautious around storm drains. IT also set records as the highest grossing horror movie premiere ever. Both movies were staples of 2017 and hence why Wonder Women walked the streets on Halloween night and Pennywise was right behind her.

As a college student, it’s crucial to have a sense of pride and school spirit not only on game days, but throughout the year. Experiencing an Ohio State University sporting event is something the majority of students that attending this school will do. Here are some tips to stay on trend at The Ohio State University games throughout the year!

CLOTHES Classic Denim Denim is continuously reliable and will always look good on game day. For games during warmer weather, a t-shirt or crop top will look great paired with a denim skirt or jean shorts. A huge trend, circa 2015, are high-waisted bottoms that flatter the body and enhance the waistline. Picking out a black denim skirt with a colored OSU tee is a casual way to step up your attire! For the colder games, a simple pair of jeans will be comfortable, appealing, and keep you warm when the temperature starts to drop. Consider spicing up your denim with colored, patched, or ripped jeans. Instead of blue jeans, try a pair of black jeans with your jersey. Mom jeans are also making a comeback, which means you can find authentic jeans that fit your body and style at a thrift shop such as Goodwill. Stand Out For warmer games, it’s easy to make a statement with your outfits because they aren’t hidden by coats. To stand out from your 60,000+ peers wear metallic skirts and pants, or patterned leggings. Check out local stores: Clothing Underground, Pitaya, Clothe Ohio, or Homage and see what they have in stock. Shops near campus are an important resource because they are often locally owned and have exclusive pieces you won’t find anywhere else. A metallic skirt pairs with the scarlet and gray theme of the school and would go well with a white, black, or red onesies and crop tops. As far as leggings go, patterned ones can be found with Block O’s and Buckeyes galore.

The Jersey Dress This is an outfit that’s trendy and simple to complete. You could buy an oversized jersey from stores around campus: Conrad’s, Buckeye Corner, or College Traditions. Order a jersey off the internet, or get creative! Maybe a family member has an oversized jersey they don’t use, of course that doesn’t mean you can’t. This is an opportunity to take a classic sporty look and turn it into something original to you. Jackets As the cold weather starts to set in, you don’t have to sacrifice your game day apparel to keep warm. Stay in school spirit and participate in the trends of fall. Pair a cozy cardigan with an OSU jersey. You could also wear an oversized denim jacket, or a forest green army jacket to compliment OSU’s colors. When winter looms, consider investing in winter coats and fleeces that mesh with The Ohio State colors. Popular brands that sell dependable fleeces or coats are North Face, Patagonia, L.L. Bean, or Columbia. These brands are often more expensive, nonetheless they’re an investment that will last for years.

ACCESSORIES Hair/Face Polish your game day outfit by adding a hat, or some ribbon in your hair. A baseball cap is a practical way to keep the sun out of your eyes, and they come in a variety of colors and styles to make it clear what team you’re rooting for. Maybe put some scarlet and gray ribbons to your hair. It will add a subtle touch to any outfit, and catch people’s attention. If you want something extra around the face and want to avoid anything in your hair, try a sticker on your cheek! They are cheap and come in a vast assortment that allows you to choose what you like most. And on a sunny day, don’t forget the sunglasses! It’s a proactive move that will protect your eyes and give a finishing touch to your ensemble. Buckeyes You can’t forget the Buckeye necklace! It’s a staple of The Ohio State University and will add flare to your outfit. If you are looking for an understated look on game day you could pass up an OSU jersey or tee and wear a solid

shirt with the Buckeye necklace. The necklace undoubtedly represents the team you’re cheering for. Shoes The shoes you choose are important to complete any outfit. To perfect your game day apparel, pair your jersey with your favorite sneaker. Two popular brands are Vans and Converse, which go seamlessly with denim, skirts, and any kind of shirt. As cooler weather occurs, don’t be afraid to wear a cozy pair of boots that will keep your feet warm. Favoring sensible wear doesn’t mean you have to lose your style!

THRIFTING Thrifting is a limitless alternative to spending tons of money at high-end stores. It allows you to find one-of-a-kind pieces, but also gives you the freedom to express yourself and experiment with DIY accessories. Online there are diverse tutorials on how to customize different kinds of clothing. Buy jeans from a thrift shop, like Goodwill, at a quarter of the price of department store denim. Add your own distressed look to them, paint them, or add your own patches. You can make a pair of jeans specific to Ohio State with Block O iron-ons, or by painting buckeyes on your denim. Another way to get creative is to repurpose the clothes you already have, or find OSU gear through thrift shops. Maybe you don’t wear the shirt you got at OSU orientation anymore, but still want to find a way to use it. Change the dynamic of a shirt by splattering some bleach onto it to give it a vintage appearance, or cut a shirt to crop it and make it seem less like an old athletic shirt. Game day is all about celebrating the Buckeyes, and feeling good while you do it. It might be easier than you think to find pieces that speak to you, and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone when doing so. Go Bucks!

SAVE NOW, STYLE LATER

We’ve all experienced this tragedy: I was explaining to my mother the campus trends this year, pointing out jean skirts with buttons down the front, overalls, and denim jackets, only to hear that she had owned two Levi’s denim jackets in her day. Two. I’ve been on the hunt for a good jean jacket since spring, and can’t wrap my head around how incredible it would’ve been to own vintage Levi’s denim pieces. They’re in some seasoned thrifter’s hands now, and I hope those jackets are getting the second wear they deserve. It’s no secret that trends are cyclic, certain fabrics age well, and vintage is a timeless style option. To avoid a tragedy like mine, here’s a list of five pieces to vacuum-seal away once the trend has died down—your future self (or kid) will thank you later.

Bootcut Jeans This is a trend that’s certainly come and passed (hail the skinny jean). Still, we all have a pair or two in the recesses of our closets, waiting to be hacked into shorts. Trust me and hold off. It’s too early to bring back bootcut now (arguably, it's too early to bring back memories of eighth grade), so give it some time, and there’s no doubt our calves will want room to breathe again.

Band Tees Who doesn’t remember Hot Topic’s 2 for $20 deal, scanning the walls for your favorite artists and reveling in the moment you snatched the last one? If your favorite band tees are still in good shape, keep ‘em. The graphics will be vintage down the road, and it’s always fun to show off your music taste. Bonus points if you’ve got tour shirts with dates on the back.

Bomber Jackets The cut is versatile, and bomber jackets vary widely in color, fabric, and detailing. They’re perfect nowadays for both minimalist looks and bold streetwear styles, and are destined to make great vintage statement pieces. If anything, save your bomber jacket just to get a kick out of a glimpse into the old you.

Baseball Hats Whether you’re an athleisure aficionado or into making statements, save your ball caps. Sporty Nike hats breathe well and look classy while bright embroidered ball caps amp up a casual outfit. Baseball hats are sturdy too, so they won’t break down while tucked away. Just think: you’ll remember those greasy hair days as fond college memories, rather than the finals week you forgot what showering was in a desperate, delirious string of coffee-fueled all-nighters.

CDs I know, CDs aren’t fashion (unless a name brand wants to make me wear CD earrings as homage to the 2000s), yet we’ve seen vinyl make such a strong comeback, and cassettes are on the rise too—I talked to the owner of a record shop on High last week who added three entire shelves of cassettes, noting the uptick. Eventually, one of your hipster kids or nieces or nephews is going to ask if you had a CD collection, and you’ll finally be the cool mom/dad/aunt/uncle. Save your CDs now, savor the moment later.

Maybe you don’t want to revisit your emo days, maybe you’ve sworn off any flared pants, maybe you just don’t want to deal with keeping this stuff around—at least donate your old clothes to Goodwill/any other consignment shop. It’s good for the environment, good for your taxes, and good for the soul. Either way, one man’s trash ages into another’s man’s treasure. 35

Coco Chanel once said, “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.” With the minimalist fashion, that quote is alive and well. From New York City street style, to pieces that can be found on Rodeo Drive, women seem as put together as ever, but with staple components. If done right, the clean lines and basic concepts these pieces embody can become a stronger ensemble than any complex outfit. Some people say that this style is a bit too boring, or too safe, but allow me to explain why it's truly a threat. As college students, comfort is key. Whether you’ve been up all-night studying, or have to get up for that 8am, most people aren’t hoping to sit through a multi-hour lecture in discomfort. With minimalism, your clothes and style are exactly what you make it. You can take a basic white t-shirt, classic denim jeans or black leggings, and toss them together with a cute army green bomber jacket and look as if you spent more than five minutes getting ready through the flow that the solid colors provide. Minimalism in fashion by no means needs to be boring; it is about picking your few favorite trends, and displaying them in more uncomplicated terms. Consider the fringe trend; girls everywhere can be seen swapping out their classic denim jeans for jeans embellished with fringe around the ankles. In the end, you’re left with a look that has depth, but depth that isn’t overwhelming - and there’s most definitely a certain sophistication to that. A key reason why I’m a firm believer in the powers of minimalistic fashion is its versatility. I’m positive that one of this style’s greatest abilities is that of mixing and matching, and with monochrome by its side, this look is unstoppable.

a l i s m We live in a world where you can create over ten different outfits with less than ten different pieces of clothing - isn’t that every college student’s dream? Solid colors, classic patterns, and pieces that could be considered necessities make mixing and matching a breeze. With seasonal accessories like sunglasses, scarves and even light jackets, your personal style can be as classic or eclectic as you’d like, while never complicating the getting-ready process. Minimalism itself provides a platform for the everchanging fashion world and its fad-like behavior. You’ve watched Kanye West take solid colored tights and tattered sweatshirts and transform them into a fashion empire. And even if tight clothing in various shades of nude isn’t your style, Adidas’ Superstars and white Converse have found their way back into the closets of people all over the world. From college girls on their way to game day to Gigi Hadid on her way to lunch, everyone can take the concept of minimalism in fashion and make it all that they’ve dreamt of and more. For some, that means black leggings and a solid t-shirt. For others, it means a t-shirt dress brought to life with the help of an infinity scarf and cardigan or jean jacket, and in my opinion, that’s the true essence of fashion. We are all capable of making and becoming our own brand. Although fashion is mainly accredited for self-expression, sometimes that’s easier said than done. Until you discover what makes your style uniquely ‘you’, I challenge you to keep one thing in mind: often, simplicity truly is the keynote of elegance, so make it your own. 45

Stop Buying Clothes in Colors You Hate By Bri Long

In lieu of moving back to college, I took a fine comb through my wardrobe and got rid of anything I haven’t worn since high school (and in some cases, middle school). And the criteria that ended up giving the most weight to my decisions? Color. I took a good, hard look in the mirror asked myself: would I wear this dusty pink, off-the-shoulder chiffon dress? The neon yellow sweater? An animal print scarf that says “knockoff Cheetah Girl merch” more than “uptown chic?” No. I would not be wearing these clothes, I didn’t know how to wear these clothes, and I didn’t want to buy more clothes to make them work. They were products of a time when I thought a varied wardrobe palette was something I’d eventually have to “grow up” and do. The truth is, no one needs color variety. You need pieces that make you feel comfortable by looking great. Blush and cream tones never fail to wash me out, yet I still tried to make them work, because they were "on trend.” There are a few ways to work a piece cut in an off-trend or unflattering style into something more complimentary (like the everpopular tie-front shirt), but it’s substantially harder to spin an entire color that doesn’t agree with you into something fashionable (although, god bless, fall trends are turning up red in all its wonderful, vampy and cherry shades). After coming across fashion vlogger Carly Cristman over the summer, justifying her neutral-toned closet with veracity, I snapped out of the trance: fashion is about what you feel best in. That applies to more than just the cut and fit; I needed to wear not only the styles I felt best in, but the colors too.

I wasted money on clothes that fought with the undertones of my skin and the scheme of my features, as well as the shades I like—all for the sake of a “varied wardrobe.” None of this is to say someone shouldn’t step out and try something different color now and again—I can’t pull off yellow, but someone else could resemble a sunny, glowing goddess in the hue. And if it doesn't work, the little things are beautiful: orangebrown boots or a flowy tank with cascading yellow flowers, small statements to compliment the look. These accents give me enough variation, and often are what pull an outfit together. This simple, obvious idea—don’t worry about everyone else, just buy the colors you like—was perhaps the best fashion advice I’ve ever received. My personal style is starting to take shape, I never worry I’m wasting money on an item, and I always walk comfortable and confident knowing I’m a step closer to wearing what makes me look and feel my best, 24/7.
