The J. Press Yale Scarf: Classic

I just checked the ten-day forecast on weather.com, and it looks like the current prediction is for relatively balmy weather—they’re saying a high of 55, which, compared to last year’s -37, sounds positively tropical. This also gives quite a bit of range for dress. Here’s a starter guide:

OUTERWEAR: a necessity. You’ll be outside for hours and hours, so go with something wool.

SWEATER: this is your one chance to really go all out with the Yale gear and feel no shame. Choose the most vintage, the most blue and white, the one with the biggest Y… whatever you can do to show you care.

FOOTWEAR: since the Bullblog is in favor of walking to the Game (more on that soon), and the tailgate is muddy, go with a hiking boot! Preferably a waterproof one in case an incompetent cantab spills Keystone light on it!

ACCESSORIES: nonpareil here is the blue and white J. Press Yale scarf, but the runner up is a J. Press scarf colored for your college. Anything else is dead in the water, unless it ends up much colder than expected, in which case anything goes.

BONUS EYEWEAR: there is no reason I should like these, but the neon rimmed sunglasses SigEp makes are kind of amazing. Get em before they sell out!
