Welly Ball 2019: What to Wear

By Fashion 4 years ago

Some last minute inspo for one of St Andrews’ most popular balls

Welly Ball is one of the best events St Andrews has to offer, and we here at the Stand want to ensure that you can enjoy your night to the fullest, so here are a few tips on what to wear or at least keep in mind this year.

1. Oversized jackets & coats

Extremely broad, but keep in mind that while Kinkell Byre is generally warm, you will spend quite a bit of time going in and out and getting there except if you’re investing in a taxi. Shivering half of the night is not the best prospect, and so easy to avoid! Find a big thick coat to wrap yourself in. If you don’t have anything you want to wear because, like me, you have a propensity to lose everything when you go out, quite a few charity shops around town also sell old men’s (read: oversized) blazer jackets which, lucky for us, are back in style. Your exposed back in a camisole dress will thank you.

2. Dresses!

Now that you are safely wrapped in a warm blanket, let’s look at your dress. The length of the dress kind of depends on the height of your Wellies, but if you have the conventional high ones, a short or midi dress are the least likely to fold weirdly around your boots. Since you’re wearing big and sometimes clunky boots, dressing it way up with your dress can be fun. As mentioned above, camisoles, or sparkly, velvety or puffy dresses are all options to be explored. If you’re looking for something new and have (at the time this article comes out) very little time, Zara does offer next-day shipping, and there’s always H&M. If you’re trying to not have as much impact on the planet, there are always dresses to be found in charity shops.  Make an afternoon out of it!

3. Suits

Sadly there seems to be significantly less room for innovation for men, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. One of the most striking outfits I’ve seen at a ball was a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto-coloured suit. What about wearing a brooch 0r pin? Or velvet trousers?

4. Wellies

The domination of the Hunter boots in St Andrews has been made fun of so much over the years that it’s almost expected that everyone has some. But if you don’t, have no fear! The Stand is here for you. They are generally on sale on the St Andrews Facebook groups quite regularly, and you can find a perfectly fine pair of wellies in many charity shops if you’re lucky enough to have a common foot size. There are also several stores which sell nice new rain boots in St Andrews if you’re looking to invest, and the Mountain Warehouse Store seems to be clearing its stock.

That’s it folks! Enjoy Welly Ball.

    Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Rigorous Standards
    COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the official Swiss testing agency that certifies the accuracy and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a symbol of superior craftsmanship and dependability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own strict criteria with movements like the UNICO, reaching comparable precision.

    The Art of Precision Chronometry
    The core mechanism of a mechanical timepiece involves the mainspring, which provides power as it loosens. This system, however, can be prone to external elements that may affect its precision. COSC-accredited mechanisms undergo strict testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (5 positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Average daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, highest variation levels, and impacts of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Accreditation Is Important
    For watch aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated watch isn’t just a item of tech but a proof to lasting quality and accuracy. It symbolizes a watch that:

    Presents outstanding reliability and accuracy.
    Provides assurance of superiority across the complete construction of the timepiece.
    Is likely to retain its worth better, making it a wise choice.
    Famous Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several well-known manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Spirit, which highlight COSC-validated movements equipped with innovative materials like silicone balance suspensions to boost durability and efficiency.

    Historical Background and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The notion of the chronometer originates back to the need for accurate chronometry for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th cent. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the validation has become a benchmark for assessing the precision of luxury watches, sustaining a tradition of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a dedication to excellence and accuracy. For those appreciating precision above all, the COSC certification provides tranquility of mind, ensuring that each validated watch will function reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-validated watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, bearing on a legacy of precise timekeeping.
