It's 10am on a cold, Wednesday morning, and I have been tasked with finding Winchester's best street style. This is something I thought would be impossible given the stereotype of the hungover student, rocking up to a 9am lecture in a onesie. However, stereotypes were broken this morning, and it seems I have found outfit inspiration where I least expected it.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TODAY?
'me and my friend have just come out of a lecture and are on our way to get a hot chocolate and have a little chill. I'm a commuting student so after that I have to head back to Portsmouth where I'm from and then go to work. Tonight is a big night out though and we're going to go to BOP (Winchester's studnet night). We are all dressing as where's wally it should be really fun.'
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO WEAR WHAT YOU ARE WEARING THIS MORNING?
'well it wasn't absolutely freezing when I got up this morning so I decided that I could wear something that is actually quite decent and not have to wrap up in chunky jumpers and look like a slob!'
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON STYLE AT UNIVERSITY?
'um...I think it's quite casual. I thought when I got to uni that it was going to be lots of people with very particular styles but its not it is quite causal. I think a lot of people like me who commute, don't have time to make a special effort in the morning.'

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TODAY?
'I've just had a lecture and actually it took a lot less time than I thought it was going to, but I had a long time to get ready this morning as I woke up really early. I'm going on placement at a primary school next week and there is quite a few rules on what we can wear, so this week I am literally just wearing everything I want to'
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO WEAR WHAT YOU ARE WEARING THIS MORNING?
'I wore dungarees because I can't wear them on placement. I have the comfiest T-shirt on from brandy Melville because I just wanted to be comfortable.'
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON STYLE AT UNIVERSITY?
' I think at this point it's just what people want to wear, so I think it's quite nice that you don't have to make an effort but no one is judging you if you do want to make an effort. It's totally like wear what you want to wear.'
