Leslie Burtz, a third-year Business Administration and Spanish major has the perfect winter ensemble down to a science.  From the classic bomber jacket to the tweed mini paired with tights, this look is totally city chic.  To help her brace the cold, Leslie accented her outfit by mixing in a pop of color with her yellow scarf.  Fall is the best time to experiment with layers of all different colors and textures so be adventurous, and try out new outfit combos using different pieces to layer against the chill.

Why should a few drops of rain keep you from looking super cute?  There are some days I’m hoping it will rain just so I can gear up in my bright red rain boots.  A rainy day on campus becomes a fashion show of bright rain boots, and umbrellas covered in adorable prints. Read more >

Unfortunately summer is over, but thank goodness that doesn’t keep our floral jumpsuits in the closet.  Industrial Engineer freshman, Nellie Wong, looked incredibly cute in her soft yellow Modcloth jumpsuit.  And while we’ve welcomed fall with open arms, longing for warm scarves and riding boots, the weather seems to be stuck in a state of confusion.

Meet Jace Lipstein, a creative director and designer by day, a sartorial blogger by night. He is the perfect melange of style, wit, and charm. He knows how to bring in the old, while keepin things contemporary and new…so without further adieu, meet, The Grungy Gentleman.

University/Major: Indiana University // SPEA Management

Shello! How might people know you? Most people won’t. I am a nerd. (He kids.)

Describe Your Personal Style: The name of my site is definitely a play on words describing how I dress. Grungy Gentleman erases the stereotype that all gentlemen have to be frumpy and grandpa-like. It injects a bit of youth and flair into your step—while still remaining sartorial.

Like we said, timeless! Who are your style influences? Lapo Elkaan is a style icon because he’s Lapo.  He is Mr. Disheveled Elegance: a legend.  I totally dig Brad Goreski—that dude’s got crazy style.  Nick Wooster is another legend.  You know when he is in the building.  My man turns heads everywhere he goes.  And of course, Tom Ford—the man of modern elegance.  He doesn’t just get your attention, he captivates.  Wow, I feel like I just created the Grungy Gentleman Hall of Fame!

Speaking of Grungy Gentleman, how did you get started blogging? My friends were telling me that I should do something related to fashion. On my birthday, I went to Barneys to pick out an outfit for an all-black theme party. I was in the Rag & Bone pop-up shop section of Barneys and I asked a gentleman, who turned out to be the Director of Sales for Rag & Bone, something along the lines about getting a black and white gingham shirt. He told me that he didn’t work at Barneys, he actually worked for Rag & Bone. So I casually started telling him how much I loved the line. He pointed to another guy and said, “Well you can just tell the designer right there.” I ended up speaking with David Neville (co-founder of Rag & Bone) for about 20-25 minutes and he was very receptive to my input throughout our discussion. It got me thinking, maybe I can do this.

What shoe best describes you? A boat shoe or a driver…preppy and boring (like me) haha!

What advice to you give to aspiring student artists? Follow your passion. That authenticity will lead to success.

What’s your favorite thing about www.TheCampusStyle.com? The cartoon of that chick on the bottom of the page. She’s kinda slamming.
