On March 31, Cesar Chavez Day, Wildcats strolled the streets in celebration of a Chico tradition: waking up at sunrise and drinking until alcohol seeped from their pores. 

This week’s fit check highlights three juniors at Chico State who were spotted along frat row.

Julia Toscani, a third-year interior architecture major, describes her style as “practical, vintage and classy.”

“I love looking to cool women such as Zoë Kravitz or Enya Umanzor for inspiration and lean towards anything unique and chic,” Toscani said. 

When it comes to building a good outfit, she looks toward a mix of textures and fabrics. Her favorite accessories are petite handbags and a good set of rings. 

Toscani said that a good outfit is made up of whatever makes someone feel good and most themselves in.

Similar to Toscani, McDonald said that a good outfit is “something you feel comfortable and confident in.” “ I also love when I see a unique piece,” McDonald added.

While she does not have any specific fashion icons, McDonald is usually inspired by attire she has observed in film, especially from ‘90s movies. Her favorite accessory is her clay cat pendant, pictured with more detail below.

“I literally wear it every day and get a lot of nice compliments on it,” McDonald said.

“I love to accessorize through jewelry. I have a ton of earrings, rings and necklaces,” Pierson said.

Regarding what Pierson finds to be iconic in the fashion industry he said, “anything GolfWang.”
