Starfields 2019: What to Wear

Don’t know what to wear to one of St Andrews biggest events during Freshers? Look no further.

When it comes to a festival like Starfields, casual is the way to go. Another important piece of advice that you need to keep in mind is to be comfortable. Dress in a way that makes you stand out yet in a manner in which it makes you feel good to be standing out. Starfields acts as somewhat of a outcast to the rest of the events that occur here in St Andrews in that it departs from the usual semi-formal and rigid attire to a territory more fun and colourful (literally!). For a festival defined by the diverse and the somewhat eccentric fashion choices of the students, do not be afraid to let your imagination run a little bit in the wild side and select your style according to the vibe that this event brings. Here are some ideas that you may find useful when mulling over what to wear:

  1. A statement piece: Focus your whole outfit towards one particular piece. A statement piece is tremendously important when it comes to standing out from a crowd especially for a festival such as starfields where everybody is looking for that extra bit of style to complement their fashion choice. From mirrored sunglasses that not only helps you gain a bit of a brighter look ( match that up with bright and bold printed shirts to practically GLOW) to bucket hats ( pull it off with something simple like a plain t-shirt, chino shorts and comfy pair of [waterproof] trainers), it goes a long way if you choose something that acts as a focal point for the rest of your outfit.

  2. Keep in mind the weather: Scottish weather is often not too kind to outside activities like a music festival so keep in mind the possibility of rain while choosing what to wear. Especially your choice of footwear which can heavily impact the amount of fun you are having ( Nobody likes to have their brand new pair of white adidas shoes ruined), go for something comfortable (if you don’t already know, there is a lot of dancing involved ) and water proof ( you can never be too careful). Welly boots are an appropriate choice for rainy weather ( even perfect if it matches your outfit) while a good old pair of crop top sneakers is a default option that will last you the duration of the festival and enable you to dance to the fullest! The month of September marks the end of summer so take into consideration the dip in temperature. Of course, this might not be a priority especially considering that you will be attending a music festival but you can never go wrong with a leather jacket or any form of coat accompanying your outfit.

  3. “Frat Shoes” (as some Americans have loosely dubbed the term): These are better known shoes you aren’t afraid of getting absolutely destroyed.  Whether these are an old pair of trainers, a cheap pair of H&M shoes you bought solely to ruin, or even a trusty pair of boots, keep in mind that Starfields is an outdoor event and you’ll most likely be standing in grass and/or mud for the long haul (especially if it’s rainy).  Also don’t forget a nice pair of socks to keep your toes toasty in the Scottish weather!  It may only be September, but you really never know these days in the Bubble.

  4. A jacket that you love and trust: Like we said, weather in St Andrews is unpredictable, so a good old jacket is a necessity, especially for an event like starfields.  Some trendy choices include a classic trench, a colourful 80s windbreaker, or a worn denim jacket you can customise with pins, badges, or patches.  When it gets hot in crowded places,  you can always take it off and wrap it around your waist or drape it over your shoulders.  We guarantee jackets look 100% cooler when you don’t wear them the conventional way.

  5. Glitter and glow: Another instant way to add some pizzaz and sparkle to your Starfields getup is through glitter and some glow sticks.  You can purchase tubes of body glitter on Amazon or even at Boots.  There are even hypoallergenic options for those of you with sensitive skin, and some eco-friendly options, with glitter that is biodegradable for those of you who are conscious of the environment.  Glowsticks can also be purchased online or even at some stores in town, such as Paperchase.  Boots also carries glitter hairspray so spritz away and you’ll be ready to put the star in Starfields and dance the night away.

Well there you have it – a Stand-approved list of some things you can wear to one of St Andrews’ most eclectic and wild events. It might be a chaotic night, but what better way to show off your personal style and to start off Freshers 2019?

  3. Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Accreditation and its Demanding Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that certifies the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC certification is a symbol of quality craftsmanship and reliability in chronometry. Not all watch brands pursue COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary stringent criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO calibre, reaching equivalent accuracy.

    The Art of Exact Chronometry
    The central mechanism of a mechanized timepiece involves the mainspring, which supplies power as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be vulnerable to external factors that may impact its precision. COSC-validated movements undergo rigorous testing—over 15 days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and dependability. The tests measure:

    Typical daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, maximum variation rates, and effects of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For watch aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated timepiece isn’t just a item of tech but a demonstration to enduring quality and precision. It signifies a watch that:

    Offers excellent reliability and precision.
    Provides assurance of quality across the complete construction of the watch.
    Is apt to retain its value better, making it a sound choice.
    Well-known Timepiece Brands
    Several renowned brands prioritize COSC validation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Record and Spirit, which highlight COSC-accredited mechanisms equipped with innovative materials like silicone balance suspensions to boost resilience and efficiency.

    Historic Context and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The concept of the chronometer dates back to the need for precise chronometry for navigation at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the official establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a standard for assessing the precision of high-end watches, maintaining a legacy of excellence in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-certified watch is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a dedication to excellence and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC certification offers peacefulness of mind, ensuring that each validated watch will function reliably under various conditions. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-accredited timepieces stand out in the world of horology, maintaining on a legacy of careful timekeeping.
