Fashion in the Forum is BACK and Exeter is serving some serious looks
Pack away your linen trousers, summers over
With the start of a new season at Exeter, students are already debuting their best fits to kick off the year right. Freshers have had the opportunity in these first few weeks to showcase their fashion repertoire, attempting to assert a stylish reputation.
Vintage clothing still proves to be in, continuing on the trend of raiding Mummy’s wardrobe as well as charity shopping. Any students keen to find some vintage gems in Exeter should pop down to the new vintage shop “Flamingos Vintage” or “Children’s Hospice” charity shop, on Sidwell, via recommendation from girls featured in the article! Dr Martens and maxi skirts were seemingly popular as we transition into Autumn. Hopefully, this edition can spark some inspiration for your own campus fashion.

Where’s everything from?
Cardigan – Mum’s wardrobe
Vest – Asda
Jeans – Hollister
Belt – Grandma’s wardrobe
Shoes – Puma
What is your favourite season to dress for and why?
My favourite season is probably winter because of the variety of coats and you can wear everything with scarves. Plus, scarves are great fun and can add a bit of spice!
It seems like skinny scarves are making their seasonal comeback to Exeter.

Where do you look to most of your fashion inspiration?
With the whole resurgence of 90s and vintage fashion I look at what’s in charity shops around me or see if there are any gems in my Mum’s wardrobe!

There is a bit of pressure given that we were on a stand during Freshers’ Fair and we wanted to look good! But I also like to think about my outfits after Welcome Week too.
