Autumn/ Winter Color 2014-2015

This season's color I have seen to be beige/caramel. Sure, some of the big brands will have their occasional pop of color and pattern, but the consistently present shade of light brown are to be found in almost all designers' sweaters, scarves, beanies, and corduroy pants.

It's pretty easy to unintentionally conform to this season's color. Many of the big brands-- BOSS, J. Crew, DSquared2, Paul Smith, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren-- featured beige/caramel in their Autumn/Winter 2014-2015 collections.

So it's not unusual to see this color in the windows of all major stores; try to incorporate beige/caramel into your wardrobe and you'll definitely be in the loop!

Higher Ground Apparel Spring Drop 2014

Back in January, we here at Designed by DePaul had the honor of interviewing a fellow classmate by the name of Jack Klein regarding a clothing line that he and his friends from back home had brought to DePaul’s campus (check out the article here). Since then, Higher Ground has dropped their newest line of apparel for Spring, and the collection is definitely worth your time. Consisting of a coach jacket, a long sleeve, a t-shirt, a hat and a pair of socks, Higher Ground’s creations continue to impress the DBD staff as well as DePaul at large regarding quality and design (and not to mention affordability, which is seriously nice on a college kid budget).

If you haven’t already, make sure to take a look at what Higher Ground has to offer. On top of supporting a start-up brand, the individuality and urban vibes of HG's products harbor a certain coolness that is undeniable.

Check out the HG Spring 2014 line below:

After you're inevitably on the Higher Ground website (found here), you might as well make sure to follow them on all other forms of social media:

And if any of you are casually hanging around DePaul this summer, I hear that if you look hard enough there are a few Higher Ground stickers posted around campus, so that's a potentially exciting game of Where's Waldo (but replace the stripe-shirted man with, ya know, a sticker).
