Being an art’s students has its perks. From literature and art to history or politics. Art students all share the joys of degrees that are stimulating and highly intellectual. It is considered vital that during your degree you must have read a thick book under the gaze of Clement Attlee right outside Ground. It is also imperative that you moan and compete about said reading at every opportunity you get. Yet, if you don’t think you abide to any of these romantic notions of an Arts student, the following is probably what you can be spotted wearing around campus.

1. Anything grey, navy, dark blue or dark maroon goes down a treat

2. When you’re not wearing jeans, you’re probably wearing leggings

3. When it’s too hot to wear ripped Topshop jeans, you get extra creative and wear ripped denim shorts
