Happy autumn! Many of you are probably gearing up to get your sweaters and hoodies out of the closet for the impending drop in temperature, or perhaps you already have. Since yesterday was the first day of fall, we thought it would be fun to showcase some fall fashions of Ship students from years past. Perhaps you'll recognize some clothing items in these photos that you still see on campus today.

| A track jacket and comfy pants are the quintessential casual outfit for the modern student (circa late 1980s/early 1990s) |

| These students are sporting a jean jacket, hoodies, and a flannel. These outerwear options are still popular on campus today (circa late 1970s) |
 |
| In 1987, fringe was definitely in! This student musician is rocking the double fringe on her jacket and boots. |
 |
| This student's outfit is timeless with a crew neck sweater, slacks, and lace-up shoes (circa late 1980s) |
 |
| Students walking between classes have their sweaters and light jackets on hand (circa late 1980s/early 1990s) |
 |
| SU hoodies will never go out of style! |
Maybe you noticed that these photos are all from after 1970. But did you notice that all of the students are casually dressed? Prior to the 1970s, campus style was very conservative and students wearing blazers and dress pants blended in with faculty and staff. Read
