I asked my daughter about this. She is a college sophomore and she says she wears it so the guys don't ogle at her. She is tired of men, young men. They have no manners and think they can say rude and sexually explicit things and that anything goes. She said her friends will tell you the same thing.

Yep. I did undergrad in the 90s, and at that point, it was baggy hoodies and flannel pajama pants. And the ever-popular athletic sandals with socks. Always a good look.

I did undergrad in the '90s as well and we wore oversize t-shirts and cut off jean shorts quite a bit. Comfortable for rolling out of bed and we weren't going to be anyone's eye candy. The guys didn't look any better back then.

I still wonder why people wear pajamas in public.

Or girls who wear a headband and dirty hair pulled back in a messy pony tail.

So yeah. I guess to each his own - who am I to judge girls wearing something I would not wear to bed, out in public ?

Not judging, honestly. Just musing. Back when I was in early high school we wore cute very short smock dresses and black and white track shoes with them, and we all thought that was really good-looking. hahahaha ;D So, yeah.

My chemistry students must all be out of style. 75% of my female students wear black yoga pants to class every morning. The guys wear jeans or seasonally appropriate workout clothes. Once in a while I will have a student that dresses professionally every day, but they are generally a graduate business student taking my class for resource economics or something.

Rather reminds me of the Doonesbury where Lacey Davenport changed Joan from dressing like a dreary college student to that of a professional woman.........so much that Redfield didn't recognize the latter at the door.

When you're a college student, you dress the way you want, that enables you to feel relaxed ESPECIALLY if most of the rest of the time, you have to dress a different way such as ROTC. Having taken that latter route the first time around, the second time around in the 90s I spent a lot of time in tees, bike shorts, wind shorts, and warm ups......long before it became "fashionable" now.

Should have seen me during some cold Texas winters where I was in Nikes, socks, leg warmers, hot pink running tights, wind shorts, undies somewhere underneath it all, tee, lavender hoodie, mittens, and bike helmet. To stay warm but also, not to blend into traffic; like that, I was sure to be noticed.

College is about charging off to class at the last moment; one doesn't want to spend much time dressing if they don't have to.

People made fun of us when we were teens, then the next generation, and so on and so on. You don't have to wear it or like it

Mod cut.
Isn't that the idea?

We survived wearing sweaters inside out, with the tag hanging out. Not sure when that was.
