Get in gear for a fall of epic events, career-making classes and style that earns top marks. GS has a sartorial education for every academic pursuit. Steer clear of droopy trousers, dated bags and drab suiting. Look to our editorial for distinguishing attire- and stand out from the crowd, no matter the major. Going back to school never looked this good.

The Executive MBA Student
- Stand Out– Ditch the dull, dark suiting in favour of a professional, but modern print. Windowpane checks attract the right attention.
- Carry It All– Lose the boring briefcase, gain style points (and clients) with a refined document portfolio.
- Eye for Detail– The straightforward pocket square lends suiting a considered look.

The Marketing Major
- Creative License– Get noticed with upgraded chinos. Elasticized ankles are an understated detail that packs a strong punch.
- Jacket Required– A blazer adds authority to even casual looks. Rock with simple tees or knits to be the big man on campus.
