Fashion Rules Delhi University Students
By Jasdeep Kaur



Thousands of youngsters enter and exit the prestigious corridors of Delhi University every year. And every year there are hundreds of things that are 'in' and hundreds others that are 'out' in the fashion circuits of the city. The sudden taste of freedom that is at once thrilling and intimidating, the gradually mounting sense of responsibility and the unstoppable spirit to carve out a niche for oneself are there in every aspect of life. No matter even if it is fashion!



Bidding adieus to the monochromatic and monotonous life of school uniforms, youngsters revel in the new-founded freedom to dress as they please. Short kurtas (or popularly called 'kurtis'), broad belts, stretchable jeans, cool goggles and long hair rule any college campus in Delhi University of the day. Myriad colours and hues make their own statement with respect to its wearer and of course with respect to the old adage that goes - 'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'!



Here's an overview of things that have been 'in' this year. This year has seen a come back of the Seventies retro trends. Big goggles, slacks paired with long tops, frilly accessories, hair-bands, chunky jewellery and flat shoes have all arrived on the scene again when it comes to the female fashion circuit. In the male world, long hippie style haircuts and loose Bermudas with short tops have hit the scene and are here to stay for some time. With splashes of pinks and reds, men are beginning to explore areas of the colour palette hitherto labelled as feminine.



Year in and year out, whether certain thing are in or out, the fact that remains is that the only thing constant in Delhi University campuses is change. Fresh faces with fresh fashion statements will keep thronging the corridors of the university with still fresh ideas and aspirations in the years to come.
