Balmy days and chilly evenings have become the norm for February in D.C. With such unpredictable weather, senior Blair Hakimian opts for layers. From head to toe, Hakimian epitomizes the chic, layered look. Paired with black jeans, her lace-trimmed dress adds the perfect dose of femininity to her predominantly black ensemble. She finishes off her outfit with a cozy wrap sweater, gray scarf and classic black Oxfords. And of course, what outfit would be complete without a great pair of oversized sunglasses?

He finishes off his ensemble with blue argyle socks, Cole Haan dress shoes and a belt found in Italy. His trusty cross body bag – a practical alternative to a bulky backpack – only adds to the stylish look.
