How Yalies approach a New Haven winter
Braving the New Haven chill from all over the world, these Yalies gave their inside scoop on winter wardrobes
After surviving our first snowstorm of the season, Yalies all over campus are finally breaking out their winter best. Whether you’re a New Haven native or experiencing snow for the first time, students have all different kinds of methods for surviving the cold. There’s a new kind of blizzard on campus: L.L. Bean Boots, Cozy Cable Knit Sweaters, and the ever so popular Canada Goose Jackets…
These students decided to share their winter favorites with The Tab:
The Connecticut Native
Spending every Connecticut winter buried in snow, Emily Everlith is an expert at dressing for any kind of snowy day.
Her go-to winter accessory: SCARVES
“If you wear the same coat every day, scarves are the best way to change it up!”
The West Coast Transplant
Yes, it’s her first time trudging through this icy mess. This California girl, Victoria Solomon, has had to pick up surviving in the snow fast…
Her go to winter accessory: SOCKS
“If your feet aren’t warm, nothing else is!”
The International Comes State-Side
