Fratty Friday

Fratty: (adj.)- A word describing the look of a sterotypical fraternity brother. Usually characterized by articles of clothing such as: sunglasses on croakies, Polo shirts, canvas dock shorts/pants, fleece vests, sandals, boat shoes, Wallabees, and khaki pants/shorts. Fratty brands include (but are not limited to) Polo, Lacoste, Vineyard Vines, Brooks Brothers, Rainbow, Reef, Chaco, Moutain Hardwear, The North Face, Eddie Bauer, Timberland, Sperry, Justin, Redwing, Kavu, and Patagonia.

Friday: n. The sixth day of the week.

When you combine them both, what do you get...? Fratty Friday.

So, here at the wonderful Northeastern State University, a few of us pride ourselves on the fact that we can be "fratty". Sure, some of us are Greek, some of us aren't. Some of us have the money to dress fratty everyday, some of us don't. However, when Friday rolls around, all of those social labels are thrown aside, and we celebrate the end of the week by stepping our game up, and breaking out the big guns.

This week, I choose to go with a Green RL Polo, and a pair of what I like to call "cotton candy" madras shorts. (Others said they looked like an Easter egg, but I think Cotton Candy sounds much better) Then, what better way to finish off the ensemble than with a pair of the 75th anniversary Sperry's and the ever preppy Wayfarers(not pictured).
