UniStyle: Get Fleeced, or Why The Sartorialist needs to chill out more, ANU

I'm not a 'The Sartorialist' lady. This blogger is the kind of guy to write,

 "Suspenders and cufflinks are two of the most important accessories for men and yet the challenge of finding great options is almost insurmountable."

Not exactly the most relevant info for our age bracket. I'll dress old when I get old. For instance, I might consider dry-cleaning something when I hit menopause. Basically I'm a grungy scruff-ball. Therefore I own (and wear!) some grey fleece trackpants that are freakin' perfect for spilling pasta sauce on (omg, the absorbency).

In light of this, I've been hoarding some this picture of trackpants that we dug, just because...you know, not v. fashiony. But then I saw this photos on The Sartorialist of some dude in Moscow:

They even look like the ones you used to get from Supre. Which I think proves that, although he's neat-freak and 94% of photos on his blog are Italian Men With Their Trousers Rolled Up, he's not a total classy cunt. And I guess if the Satorialist can do it:

May the official pants of university always look like such a good idea.

UniStyle: White light, ANU

This photo, although taken back in May, has been kept in the Capital Style archives until the appropriate time. I feel that now, as temperatures reach close to zero, it is time to publish this beautiful photo which both exemplifies the inherent style of some ANU students and is a record of the warmer days past. This stylishly simple outfit immediately captured me as the solid white of her top, skirt, stockings and even her necklace don't appear bland despite the lack of bright colour. By adding accessories in brown, black and gold she breaks up this white and lends a chic quality to her outfit. I applaud this girl for her gorgeous hair and enviable ability to keep this much white clean and pristine.

Uni Style: Vintage coat, ANU

I think these pictures really do say a thousand words. Namely, how absolutely fabulous is her coat! The wonderful print and cut really show the value of a good coat, vintage or not.

UniStyle: Mix'n'Match, ANU

When it comes to mid-seasons, layering is the key. It also means you can pull together an ensemble of many colours, textures and styles. I love how boldly coloured these girls are, and how effortlessly they pull it off.
Once again, effortless style. You can't see very well in this photo, but he was wearing pink frames.

*Also: I know we've been taking lots of ANU campus shots, but we are planning to scout around other areas in the near future. As soon as we develop some more skills and make some business cards, so dear Vicki can stop hand-writing our webaddress in her depleting notepad. Any places you can recommend for us to scout?

UniStyle: Autumn colours & sandwiches, ANU

Personally, I love autumn. Everyone who knows me knows I am a tad obsessed with this season and its pretty pretty colours. Dressing in autumn is also one of my favourite things. What better time to match the brown and green shades of nature than now?

Great things about this guy:

• Autumnal-themed All-American baseball jacket.
• Green cap, complete with pencil behind the ear.
• Colourful belt
• Sandwich in hand (now that's subtle colour co-ordination)
  

This guy inspires me to hug some trees, and make myself a sandwich.

UniStyle: pretty girls, ANU

She told us she was feeling a little under the weather, but we thought she looked absolutely fantastic, especially with her orange hat.

The Launch

Welcome to Capital Style, guys - a street blog about Canberra and the fashion she spawns. On a grey Canberran auwintertumn day we took some photos of how we like looking. We've seen you around, Canberra, and the three of us want to photograph the 340,800 of you and put it on our blog for you and your mum to see.

So, if you spot us on the street: put on your sunglasses, tighten your waist belt, and comb your beards because we love your style, can we feature you on our blog?
