As the season changes, MTSU students transition from summer to fall apparel. A few share what inspires their outfit choices for breezy school days.

“Just be you. Feel vibrant in what you wear,” says Anthony Mitchelle, 22, an apparel design major. “I like more androgynous [styles] because it matches my personality.”

“My style inspiration lately has been my dad, because he passed away over the summer,” says Breamon Daniel, 21, a psychology major. “I’ve been wearing a lot of his clothes and [have] just been really laid-back.”

“I don’t have a specific style,” says biology major Hessa Seran (right), 25. “I go with what takes my attention and usually something unique and new.” Early childhood education major Fatima Albadr (left)  24, opts for something simpler. “I like white,” she says.
