Collared button-down: Douglas Alberts, senior, rocks a blue long-sleeved shirt with black jeans and orphan shoes to help stay warm. Button-down shirts help keep a happy medium of warmth but not too much warmth. “I was always told to dress like my profession when I’m older, which is a designer,” said Alberts.
