We found out what KCL considers to be ‘library chic’ at Maughan Library

Crushing on clothes instead of critics


Admittedly all anyone wants to do in exams is have a nap. It’s hard to wake up every morning and be like ‘oooh it’s a beautiful day, fuck i have to read 263846383 million pages for research on a darned essay I will probs never want to read about ever again’. It’s tough on your motivation and general happiness.

What’s the best way to remedy this perpetual sadness (at least till about May)? Clothing. I took to Maughan to find out what KCL students consider the appropriate ‘library chic’ to study in, and found out that the majority dressed themselves for motivation: feelin’ good, doin’ good.
