Florida State street style spotlight
‘Gucci mindset, Zara budget’
There are two types of people on campus: Those who wear actual clothes, and everybody else. (Dude in the high school cross-country t-shirt and pajama pants, I see you.) To give these over-achievers some credit, here are a few of the most stylish people on campus.
