Identities, a premier student-produced fashion show at Harvard, illuminated Annenberg Hall on the night of April 22nd, 2011. The show this year honored Anna Sui as the winner of the 2nd Leadership in the Arts award. Fashion blogger Bryanboy was among the attendees. Kevin Oh, Dartmouth College’s Idol, gave a guest performance.

Executive producers: Jane Chun ’12 and Ashley Kang ’12

Layering, it’s a neglected art in these parts. Listen up Harvard, layering does not mean wearing your North Face puffer over whatever it is you decided to wear to section that day. It’s about wearing an outfit, not a strictly utilitarian cocoon of warmth to get you from here to Northwest Labs.

And ladies, balance it out. Leggings as pants, fine. But if you’ve just got on tights (God forbid you’re bare-legged in February) and your top half looks like you’re smuggling a couple Sherpas you may need to consider some heavier-duty bottoms. Same goes for guys in shorts this time of year; they don’t make you look casual and nonchalant, they make you look lost.

Below are some gorgeous examples of coordinated winter layers in neutral tones. An easy change from the ubiquitous black puffers and peacoats.
