UGG boots


UGG Australia boots are an essential for the cold weather seasons. Varying in size, shape, color, and design, Ugg boots are warm during the chilly weather in the fall and early spring.


“I love to wear Uggs because they are really comfy and are really warm when you have to walk really far to class,” said Paige Pinkerton, energy management sophomore. “They also match anything I wear most of the time and I have them in a lot of colors like black, gray, and brown.”


Ugg boots are also a great fit for cold weather outfits because they come in variations of heights (ankle or tall), and different designs that allow you to able to play with different types of styles and different outfits. They roll down so that they soft fur on the inside shows, or you can keep them rolled up to show off the color or patterned design on the outside.


“Sometimes comfort and practicality win out over pure chic factor,” Glamour magazine online reporter Tracey Lomrantz said. “I think this is one of those instances.”


To wear these boots, you can tuck them in to either a pair of jeans or leggings. They can also be dressed-up or down, depending on the occasion. To dress them up, try a dress or long top with leggings. On the comfortable school day, a pair of skinny jeans tucked in with the Uggs and a top, sweater, or sweatshirt will match.


As featured in “Oprah’s Ultimate Favorite Things 2010”, Uggs are available for purchase at Dillard’s at the Sooner Mall, 3301 W Main St., from $100-$230, or online at uggaustralia.com.

Nike Tempo Track shorts

Are you always in a hurry to get to class? Ever wonder if there is an easier way to get ready with 10 minutes before class and still dress in style? Try the Nike Tempo Track women's running shorts. These shorts are unbelievably comfortable and are always easy to pick out in a hurry.

“Everyone wears them because they’re comfortable and breezy,” sophomore Ava Brewer said. “When it’s hot, they don’t ride up like other types of shorts.”


These shorts come in such a large variety of colors, that it would be impossible to say, "I don't have anything to go with that". All you really need is a T-shirt and a pair of tennis shoes or flip-flops to put together this sporty look. However, be careful which flip flops you pick out- a pair with rhinestones is not really recommended. You may try a pair of Rainbow brand flip-flops or any solid color ones. As for tennis shoes, wear them no matter the color because basically anything but shiny will match these shorts.

“I wear Nike shorts almost every day,” sophomore Molly Cook said. “They’re great because I can roll out of bed and throw on a T-shirt and my Nikes and flip flops and be good to go, especially when I’m late for class.”

The Nike Tempo Track shorts are made from the Dri-FIT material and have a low, elastic waistband. The Dri-FIT material is great for working out in or walking around campus from class to class because it is soft yet absorbent, which is helpful during the hot Oklahoma days. On each side of the shots there is also a mesh inset, which also provides ventilation.


These shorts also sport the Nike “swoosh” in the bottom left corner, as well as a comfortable, built-in liner and pocket, which come in handy while running because it helps the shorts to not ride up.


Nike shorts are available at Academy, 2010 NW 24th Ave, or online at nike.com for $28.00. Now, you’re ready to get started on your comfortable fitness look.

Lacoste headbands


Lacoste headbands are one of the most common accessories worn by women on campus today. Available in multiple colors, these headbands are easy to wear and come in handy when you have the occasional bad hair day.


"Lacoste headbands are like a beneficial combo,” sophomore Victoria Tran said. “They are cute, comfortable, and convenient. I have bangs, and when they get in the way or if I want to quickly pull them back, I grab a headband. Other headbands may be too tight and may hurt your head, but not this one. It fits just right.”


These headbands are made from a stretchy Pique fabric, and come in different widths. The signature Lacoste croc accent on the side gives them a stylish, preppy look. InStyle magazine is also a fan of accessorizing with headbands.


“The key is to place them at least an inch back from the hairline,” hairstylist Elizabeth Reilly-Davila said on InStyle.com. "If you have bangs, sweep them in front to soften the look.”


Not only are these headbands great for any season, they’re also sure to match anything in anyone’s closet. They come in black, rose pink, red, mint green, white, and many other colors.


If you want to start your chic and preppy look now, these headbands are sold at Cayman’s boutique, 2001 W. Main, or you can buy them online at shop.lacoste.com for $14.
