No two Grinnellians’ outfits are the same. But what kinds of fashion choices are students making when they go to the gym? The S&B sent writer Lily Dawson and photographer Sarah Ruiz to the Bear to scope out what goes into people’s decision to put on clothes for the gym.
Honestly this shirt is not mine. I, like, changed houses in the middle of the year because mine froze and this was, like, his or something, and I’m out of laundry.
Your house froze?
Like our pipes froze because this kid turned [off] the heat, so then we all had to move out, so I ended up moving next door to a different High Street house.
So then you just got that shirt?
Yeah, it was his so like…
Is [the BEAR] a fashion environment?
I do not think so no. These are not the questions I expected.
