With the temperature dropping and “Stormageddon” dumping on us over a foot of snow upon returning from Thanksgiving break, students at Williston are putting style second to comfort and practicality.

To keep warm in freezing temperatures, or from slipping on ice, students have special clothes to prevent falling victim to the New England winter. From expensive Canada Goose jackets to Timberland work boots, winter fashion on campus is both practical and comfortable.

However style is not the only component of winter fashion; many Williston students put the comfort of their clothes first in the winter months.

As a seasoned New Englander, Cameron Sherman, from Boston, Mass., relies on his trusty flannels to get him through the cold seasons.

“Flannels are huge for the outdoors, they keep you warm like nothing else,” said Cameron. “Thick and fuzzy socks are also essential.”

Cameron also spoke to the importance of anything soft and or comfortable to protect him from the elements.

“Anything warm and cozy you know, comfort is key,” said Cameron.“ Fuzzy socks, flannels, big cozy blankets, all that stuff is really helpful for winter.”

After coming back from the Island School in the Bahamas, Senior Caroline Forman, from Needham, Mass., has had a rough adjustment to the cold northern weather and relies on one key item to keep her warm.

“I’d say that my ‘teddy bear coat’ helps me a ton during the cold months,” said Caroline. “It gets really cold out here.”

A furry, brown jacket, a teddy bear coat, according to Caroline, is a style meant to provide as much warmth as possible along with comfort.

“It’s a fuzzy furry fleece like coat that is really nice in the cold, especially when the snow gets bad,” said Caroline.

The Willistonian also caught up with Nathan Pellegrini ’22 at the Lossone hockey rink, who credited his work boots with getting him through the harsh winter.

“My boots have really helped me out through the winter and kept me on my feet,” said Nathan. “It gets slippery out there.”

Nathan also described his boots, as well as his winter style, as “comfortable,” with a heavy emphasis on practicality.

When it comes to keeping warm, Nathan relies on his Bass outdoor jacket. “It’s not super thick but it breaks up the heavy wind pretty well and keeps me warm without being too bulky.”
