There are many unique and different kinds of people at the Duke TIP Summer Studies program. So it makes sense that their wardrobes and personal sense of style would be too. “I don’t like standard beauty, there is no beauty without strangeness,” said Karl Lagerfeld, head designer and creative director of Chanel. This definitely applies to the Duke TIP students.
The second week of TIP you will definitely see some crazy outfits. Week two at TIP is Spirit Week! Monday is Pajama Day and all the TIPster s get to go to class in their comfy jammies. Tuesday is Twin Day where TIPsters dress the same as one or more of their friends. Next up is Wacky Tacky day on Wednesday and the students dress in their crazy tackiest. However, Thursday is the most popular. It was recently changed to Crazy Hair Day, but traditionally has been Opposite Day. Friday is Favorite Team Day, where everyone represents their favorite team, or their campus. GO DAWGS!
The Duke TIP students are proud to be different, and love to express themselves in as many ways as possible. One being the way they dress. It’s not every day you see people walking around in tutus, wearing cat ears, and swinging neon shoe strings. But at TIP it’s a daily occurrence. We get many stares from college students and or other camps, but we don’t care. At TIP it’s all about the non-conformists. At school, those who all dress the same might be the popular ones- but not at TIP. The more interesting and different you are, the more you are well known. Most TIPsters never feel the need to be normal. But whether it’s Wacky Tacky Day, or just Monday, you’ll always see something interesting.
