It's That Time of Year - Orientation Week!

It's one of our favorite times of the year, when freshmen everywhere step on campus and start the best 4 (or 5 for some) years of their lives. We'd like to acknowledge all the new college students and we can't wait to see some great style from orientation weeks!

Princeton Summer - 1983

While we do not deplore the lack of white tennis shoes nowadays, we do wish shorter shorts would come back to campus instead of baggy long shorts

Lazy Summer Day - Princeton

Summers were just as warm and sunny in 1983. Notice the wallabees, long socks and short shorts. The latter are definitely making a comeback if some of the runway outfits, seen here, from this season and the last are to be trusted.
