    What the Experts Say

    When it comes to showing your alma mater pride after you’ve gotten your diploma, it’s all about finding pieces that look stylish and well-loved rather than like you got them in a goody bag at freshman orientation.

    “I’m a Pitt grad, and I’ve always liked 47 Brand and Homefield for their retro-minded designs with a soft, broken-in feel,” says menswear expert and founder of BAMF, Nick Guzman. “Those feel more individualized when I’m at crowded games and stylishly dressed down if I’m repping the colors for weekend errands. I find those kinds of shirts and sweatshirt I’m more inclined to wear beyond just the stadium” Menswear stylist and founder of Style Girlfriend Meg Collins also endorses collegiate gear, especially with a retro flare. “Our go to for clients is Ebbets Field Flannels,” she says.
