University  of  Denver  students  dress  for  success  to  exercise  self  expression  

University  of  Denver  students  are  dressing  for  the  occasion  as  a  typical  winter  of  bipolar  Colorado  weather  endures.

Students  expose  some  skin  to  soak  up  the  sun  and  take  advantage  of  unusually  warm  temperatures  on  a  mild  winter  day.

From  a  low  of  five  degrees  Fahrenheit  to  a  high  the  next  week  of  64  degrees  Fahrenheit,  students  must  prepare  themselves  for  every  possible  scenario.  “When  it’s  below  freezing  outside  no  one  wants  to  put  on  a  nice  ouGit  just  to  cover  it  up  with  layers  of  coats  and  scarves,”  explains  Deanna  Metropoulos,  a  University  of  Denver  junior.

While  these  clothes  may  make  sense  under  these  ever  changing  weather  condiKons,  they  may  not  always  be  enKrely  appropriate  for  the  classroom  environment.

“I  think  it  helps  them  realize  I  mean  business  in  the  classroom  and  they  should  be  prepared  for  an  engaging  and  someKmes  heated  atmosphere.  It  lets  them  know  what  we  are  doing  in  the  classroom  is  serious,”  says  DU  professor  Derigan  Silver  about  dressing  professionally  to  work  .  

Professors  must  also  be  clothing  conscious.  What  they  choose  to  wear  in  their  own  classroom  sends  a  message  not  just  about  their  outer  appearance,  but  also  who  they  are  on  the  inside  and  perhaps  what  their  teaching  personality  will  be  like.

Students  must  find  a  balance  between  looking  like  they’ve  just  come  from  a  

party  and  looking  like  they’ve  just  rolled  out  

of  bed..

Silver  states,  when  students  show  up  sloppily  

or  inappropriately  dressed,  “I  wonder  if  they  just  woke  up  and  if  they  are  really  ready  for  class  and  a  no  holds  barred  discussion  of  important  

issues.”

College  serves  many  as  a  transiKonal  period  between  their  juvenile  years  and  the  introducKon  into  the  adult  

working  world.  “The  University  of  Denver  creates  

an  open  environment  where  I  can  show  every  side  of  myself  without  judgment  

or  restricKons,”  says  University  of  Denver  junior,  

Rhianna  Dow.

“College  is  a  Kme  for  exploraKon  and  discovery.  It  is  one  of  the  last  opportuniKes  I  will  have  to  really  express  myself  through  clothing  before  I  enter  the  work-­‐force,  so  I  always  try  to  make  the  most  of  it,”    argues  Dow.

Students  and  professors  have  to  be  mindful  that  their  appearance  reflects  upon  not  only  their  own  reputaKon,  but  also  that  of  the  university  as  a  whole.

The  majority  of  DU  students  do  not  dress  inappropriately    for  classes.  They  dress  

professionally  and  don’t  wear  clothes  that  are  inappropriately  Kght,  

revealing  or  sloppy.  They  seem  to  follow  an  

unspoken  code  of  dress,  and  are  at  an  age  mature  enough  to  show  respect  to  their  professors  and  

peers  within  the  classroom.

At  this  Kme,  a  formal  dress  code  does  not  seem  to  be  a  necessity.
