UVA Men's Essential Style Guide

Mastering the fine line between complete tool and male fashion icon.

UVA Men's Essential Style Guide

There is a fine line between complete tool and fashion forward? Learn to dance that line with this "helpful" back-to-school style guide.

1. Salmon shorts

While these may not have as many pockets as cargo shorts, I am sure you can find some place to put all the phone numbers you’ll get from girls.

2. Sport coat

These are actually a really important staple to a man's wardrobe.

3. Khakis

You can never go wrong with a nice pair of Khakis.

4. Sperry’s

Two words: foot stank.

Your feet may (will) smell like a dying animal after you wear these bad boys all September long.

5. Patagonia

This is a unisex style, both men and women should aim to resemble tacky curtains, coaches, etc. Bonus points if you cover yourself in plastic like your grandparents cover furniture.

6. Frocket Tee

The pocket on the t-shirt replaces the pockets you no longer have because you aren't wearing cargo shorts. Fashion forward meets functional.

7. Trendy Hair Cut

There are a lot of options when it comes to this one, however, choose wisely.

8. Dad Bod

Dad bod screams confidence in your own skin and success all in one pseudo-beer gut.

Additionally, here are some reasons the ladies love the dad bod.

9. Over priced polos

Vines. Brooks Brothers. Southern Marsh. Name your brand and your ridiculous price.

Try wearing them all at once to achieve the maximum effect.

10. Sunglasses/hat combo

Be sure to wear this with your khakis and sport coat to look like a complete tool while also slaying the game.

11. Bean Boots

Similar to Sperry's, these insulated boots will produce excess foot sweat; I recommend a good pair of socks and not ever taking them off in public.

12. Bow Tie

Think Grandpa-chic.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
