/fa/ - Fashion

Graduated a couple years ago. SUPER preppy, so it's fashionable by that standard.

Places where I've spent significant time, none of which are cities.

>Hanover, NH
Students are generally /fa/. Obviously lots of prep and wealth, so students know how to dress well. Some streetwear with a bit of prep sensibility. Also a lot of outdoorsy kids who wear outdoorsy clothing. Fashion not very forward-thinking, diverse (despite it's student population), or risky/interesting, but that's due to the nature of the location's size and obscurity.

Unsurprisingly, townspeople generally dress prep, split between fancy/wealthy prep and LL Bean utilitarian prep.

Most people would not like this place, but I give it 7.5-8/10 on the /fa/ scale.

>Burlington, VT
Outdoorsy hipster vibe (tight black jeans, flannel) is the uniform here among 20- and 30-somethings (disclosure: this is my taste), with a decent smattering of hippy-/stoner-core. People walk into bars looking like they got off of the trail. Beards and unkempt hair are cool. Some UVM students are a bit preppier than the average Burlington resident.

Burlington is much better than Hanover just because it is a small city with a semblance of night life. But given /fa/'s tastes, it's probably less fashionable. Definitely "basic" and a couple years behind. 4.5/10.

>Madison, WI
Never been but I'm going there next year for grad school. If anyone has insights, please respond.
