Why it works

Campus style is a uniform problem — you're dressing at 8am for the same eight hours, so the pieces have to be thoughtless and still look like you tried. That's the whole reason the white tee stays a $20 Uniqlo U crew at every tier: it's the part you'll own in triplicate and never think about. Let the cardigan and the loafers do the looking-considered.
