Going to college can be a life-changing experience for many of us. It’s that first foray into the middle ground between daily enforced school and living with your parents, to suddenly having your own digs and venturing away from the school friends. You’ve journeyed up through secondary school all the way from nursery and finding new friends from different parts of the country, or even different countries. For everyone at least it can start a little daunting, unless of course you’ve chosen to stay close to home, and have several of your existing mates accompanying you into new territory. Anyway, what I’m really trying to say is that very first day of college can really hit home the old saying that first impressions do count so your choice of outfit can really make or break your initial experience of the start of a brand new term.

The Franklin and Marshall designs may show a worship of American college culture but is actually Italian. It takes on the classic vintage college look from the States, specifically Pennsylvania where its college namesake exists today. If you’re looking for some vintage American, classic clothes that are new and reminiscent of cheer leaders and American football then take a look at the collection of Franklin and Marshall t-shirts, polos, and hoodies that we have on Stand Out today.
