Sweaters of Wesleyan

Fall is very much upon us here at Wes, and wardrobes have long since switched from the shorts and light shirts of summer to the long pants and warm layers of fall. Over the past few weeks I’ve been bombarded by beautiful sweater after beautiful sweater—it’s made me feel like I need to step up my sweater game. In hopes of spreading awareness of the situation, I’ve compiled a collection of stories and photos of my favorite sweaters around campus to share with you here at Wesleying.

This is the sweater that started my collection, and I hadn’t yet decided to document the story behind each one yet.

The story behind this sweater got lost somewhere in the dark recesses of my notes app :(

"I think The Gap?"

“Really, really awesome Christmas present.”

“Something interesting about it is that it had a big hole in it and I sewed it up.”

“I actually got it in Newport, Rhode Island, during fall break at a little tourist shop!”

I thought this was the best sweater duo. From left to right: "The Gap," "Grandma Spoon."

"Dad had it and passed it down."

“Flea market, 26th St., New York City with my boy—who just walked by. I think it’s pretty cool because it looks like two eyes imprinted on my soul. Also, my parents hate it.”

“I actually just got the sweater handed down to me from a friend because she shrunk it in the wash so today’s my first day wearing it!”
