What to Wear: St Andrews’ Nights

Be it a little black dress or a Barbour, there is a time and a place for everything.

A friend of mine once told me there is no such thing as being overdressed, just having a lack of confidence. When deciding what works for an evening out on the town, this is solid advice.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it…

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s being a follower. Never, ever change your fashion in order to fit in. How we dress is a bold statement of who we are; change it to match everyone else and you become indistinguishable against the masses. This should not be 1984. 

You’re preparing for your first night out and you have a sequinned black dress you are dying to wear. But you realise that your roommate and your neighbours are all going for a more relaxed look of jeans and a nice top. You feel out of place, and maybe you’ll put the dress away for another night.

Hold it right there, fresher. You bought that dress for a reason, so wear it. St Andrews is truly one of the few places where you can dress however you like.

Case in point, Raisin Weekend.

In the morning after meeting several people, no one will recall the names of those who dressed the same. However: “The girl in the black dress? Yeah, I remember her.” Because you stood out. It’s an instant friend-maker, or at least helps get past the awkward “Hi, erm, I know I spoke to you last night but I’ve forgotten your name”.

It is also very easy to lose track of yourself in university. It happens little by little, maybe starting with wearing what everyone else is wearing, next saying what they’re all saying. I realise that sounds a little ominous – it’s not an inevitability. But being away from home for so long, it’s not surprising some lose their way. So, stick to your guns. I may not agree with your fashion choice but at least it’s yours to make. By all means, embrace your sense of style as it changes, as it is bound to throughout your life. But it must always be your decision and not a result of peer pressure.

What to pack…

Our humble town is no Liverpool or London, which may disappoint the hardcore partiers. St Andrews sports a grand total of one night club, if you can call it that. The Lizard is an experience like no other, and you only end up there at the end of the night after a few too many Pablos. Nobody dares to venture in sober. Instead, we have a wide array of pubs and bars and of course, the Union. 

So tailor your choices to your setting. Think more cocktail dresses and party blouses than a crop top and a mini bodycon. The latter have their place, though not in my St Andrews wardrobe. If you’re keen to dress up and go clubbing city-style, then I would recommend a trip across the Tay to Dundee, the destination of many excitement-seeking St Andreans.

Dundee.

For the ladies, your choice of dress depends purely on your personal style and body shape. I’ll be sure to write a piece on this in the future, but for now I’ll offer some age old advice: Never do both chest and legs. A mini dress will necessitate limiting the amount of cleavage on show. Similarly, a longer dress allows for the potential of a plunging neckline. The reasoning behind this philosophy is simple – always leave something to the imagination. Too little fabric also feels wrong, as though you found something in the back of your wardrobe that doesn’t really fit but you decided to squeeze into it anyway.

It almost goes without saying to avoid the unholy trinity of bare chest, tummy and legs. At that point, why not just wear a bikini? (Answer: It’s absolutely freezing up here.) 

Let’s talk outerwear…

If there’s one person who’s had more coat-related arguments with her mother than she’s had hot dinners, it’s me. I accept that this is a battle now lost on my part. But if you simply cannot bear to taint your outfit with a large puffer coat, then allow me to introduce you to my best friend: cashmere.

Admittedly, it’s a little way out of a student budget but, my God, is it worth it. Invest in a black cashmere cardigan and never shiver again. It looks thin but it keeps you warm and buying black means it will go with practically anything. My little cashmere has spared me many nights of coat carrying and flu catching.

So there you have it. I like to think we’re a non-judgemental town, though I may be naïve in that. Fashion is something we excel at every day. There is a variety in our dress sense, and we’re proud of our individuality. Presentation may be key, but so is feeling good. To that end, wear what suits you and strut like you’re on one of our many catwalks every single night.

  21. Thanks for giving your ideas on this blog. Likewise, a fairy tale regarding the banks intentions any time talking about home foreclosure is that the financial institution will not getreceive my payments. There is a certain amount of time in which the bank is going to take payments from time to time. If you are way too deep inside the hole, they will commonly demand that you pay the particular payment in full. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of payments at all. When you and the standard bank can have the ability to work anything out, this foreclosure course of action may halt. However, if you ever continue to miss out on payments under the new strategy, the property foreclosure process can just pick up where it was left off.

  22. Aw, this was a very nice post. In concept I want to put in writing like this additionally ? taking time and precise effort to make a very good article? but what can I say? I procrastinate alot and under no circumstances appear to get something done.

  23. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but good topic.
    I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more.

    my mission.

  24. Thanks for revealing your ideas with this blog. Likewise, a misconception regarding the lenders intentions whenever talking about property foreclosures is that the loan company will not getreceive my installments. There is a degree of time the bank requires payments occasionally. If you are far too deep in the hole, they’ll commonly require that you pay the payment fully. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of installments at all. When you and the bank can manage to work a little something out, the particular foreclosure process may end. However, if you continue to pass up payments wih the new approach, the foreclosure process can pick up from where it left off.

  25. My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was totally right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!

  30. Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Certification and its Demanding Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Swiss testing agency that attests to the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC certification is a sign of quality craftsmanship and reliability in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands pursue COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its own demanding criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, attaining comparable accuracy.

    The Science of Exact Timekeeping
    The central system of a mechanized timepiece involves the mainspring, which delivers power as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be susceptible to environmental elements that may influence its accuracy. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo strict testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Typical daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, peak variation rates, and effects of temperature changes.
    Why COSC Certification Is Important
    For watch enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a piece of technology but a proof to enduring excellence and accuracy. It represents a timepiece that:

    Provides outstanding dependability and accuracy.
    Offers confidence of quality across the whole construction of the watch.
    Is probable to hold its worth more effectively, making it a sound choice.
    Famous Timepiece Brands
    Several well-known manufacturers prioritize COSC certification for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Soul, which feature COSC-validated movements equipped with cutting-edge substances like silicon balance suspensions to enhance durability and efficiency.

    Historical Context and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The idea of the timepiece dates back to the need for precise chronometry for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th cent. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for evaluating the precision of luxury watches, continuing a legacy of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-certified timepiece is more than an visual choice; it’s a dedication to quality and accuracy. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation offers peacefulness of thoughts, guaranteeing that each validated timepiece will function reliably under various conditions. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-validated watches stand out in the world of watchmaking, carrying on a legacy of careful timekeeping.

  31. I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back later on. All the best

  32. Hello, i believe that i saw you visited my website so

  33. En Son Zamanın En Büyük Gözde Casino Platformu: Casibom

    Kumarhane oyunlarını sevenlerin artık duymuş olduğu Casibom, nihai dönemde adından çoğunlukla söz ettiren bir şans ve oyun platformu haline geldi. Ülkemizdeki en mükemmel bahis web sitelerinden biri olarak tanınan Casibom’un haftalık bazda göre değişen erişim adresi, piyasada oldukça yeni olmasına rağmen itimat edilir ve kazandıran bir platform olarak öne çıkıyor.

    Casibom, rakiplerini geride kalarak eski bahis platformların üstünlük sağlamayı başarmayı sürdürüyor. Bu sektörde köklü olmak önemlidir olsa da, oyuncularla etkileşimde olmak ve onlara temasa geçmek da benzer derecede önemlidir. Bu noktada, Casibom’un 7/24 servis veren gerçek zamanlı destek ekibi ile kolayca iletişime temas kurulabilir olması büyük bir avantaj getiriyor.

    Hızlıca artan katılımcı kitlesi ile dikkat çekici Casibom’un arka planında başarılı faktörleri arasında, sadece ve yalnızca bahis ve canlı olarak casino oyunlarına sınırlı olmayan kapsamlı bir servis yelpazesi bulunuyor. Spor bahislerinde sunduğu geniş alternatifler ve yüksek oranlar, katılımcıları cezbetmeyi başarılı oluyor.

    Ayrıca, hem atletizm bahisleri hem de casino oyunları oyuncularına yönlendirilen sunulan yüksek yüzdeli avantajlı ödüller da ilgi çekiyor. Bu nedenle, Casibom kısa sürede piyasada iyi bir reklam başarısı elde ediyor ve büyük bir oyuncu kitlesi kazanıyor.

    Casibom’un kazanç sağlayan ödülleri ve ünlülüğü ile birlikte, platforma üyelik ne şekilde sağlanır sorusuna da bahsetmek gereklidir. Casibom’a mobil cihazlarınızdan, bilgisayarlarınızdan veya tabletlerinizden tarayıcı üzerinden kolaylıkla erişilebilir. Ayrıca, web sitesinin mobil cihazlarla uyumlu olması da büyük önem taşıyan bir avantaj getiriyor, çünkü şimdi pratikte herkesin bir akıllı telefonu var ve bu cihazlar üzerinden hızlıca giriş sağlanabiliyor.

    Taşınabilir cihazlarınızla bile yolda gerçek zamanlı iddialar alabilir ve maçları gerçek zamanlı olarak izleyebilirsiniz. Ayrıca, Casibom’un mobil cihazlarla uyumlu olması, ülkemizde casino ve kumarhane gibi yerlerin meşru olarak kapatılmasıyla birlikte bu tür platformlara girişin önemli bir yolunu oluşturuyor.

    Casibom’un emin bir bahis sitesi olması da önemli bir avantaj getiriyor. Ruhsatlı bir platform olan Casibom, kesintisiz bir şekilde keyif ve kazanç elde etme imkanı sağlar.

    Ancak, Casibom’un güncel giriş adresini izlemek de gereklidir. Çünkü canlı şans ve casino siteleri moda olduğu için yalancı platformlar ve dolandırıcılar da belirmektedir. Bu nedenle, Casibom’un sosyal medya hesaplarını ve güncel giriş adresini düzenli aralıklarla kontrol etmek önemlidir.

    Sonuç, Casibom hem itimat edilir hem de kar getiren bir casino platformu olarak dikkat çekiyor. Yüksek promosyonları, geniş oyun seçenekleri ve kullanıcı dostu mobil uygulaması ile Casibom, kumarhane tutkunları için mükemmel bir platform sunuyor.
