For many Utah State University students experiencing their first winter in Logan, the frigid chill can be a shock. With temperatures that often drop to single digits, students have become creative in their efforts to stay warm.
“I’m from Vegas,” USU freshman Jordan Matthews said. “It’s freezing here, but thankfully I can layer.”
Layering has been a part of fashion for decades, with some shirts sewn together to create the look. Students often take advantage of the trend in order to cover more skin and add extra protection from the harsh winter weather.
“I have a lot of T-shirts that I love, but wearing them in winter isn’t the smartest thing,” said Brynn Reed, a sophomore at USU. “I went and bought a bunch of long-sleeved shirts and put them under my favorite T-shirts.”
Layering the upper body isn’t always enough to fight the winter chill. Tights and nylons have long been associated with church or business offices. But as temperatures drop, more women are pulling stockings from the back of their sock drawers and adding them to their winter wardrobe.
“One word for you. Leggings,” USU sophomore Emily Olsen said. “You put them on under your jeans and they keep you really warm. Plus, they suck everything in and make you skinnier, and who doesn’t want to feel skinnier?”
No matter how many layers and coats students wear, sometimes the cold is inescapable.
“I’ve been here for a while so I’m kinda used to it,” USU senior Jonathan Moore said. “Sometimes, no
matter what you wear, it gets too cold to even breathe.”
