Still confused about what to wear to college? Read on
If like several others,you spend endless hours every morning in front of the mirror to decide what to wear,then the following figures might interest you. It was realised that more than anything else,students prefer a casual look on campus, says Dipankar Sen,Group Business Director of the research agency Indian Market Research Bureau (IMRB). Commissioned by contact lens company Bausch + Lomb,the finding is the result of a survey carried out with 300 students,in the age group of 18 to 21.The aim was to understand youth preferences in terms of popular looks on campus. During the research,a perfect mix of students from various courses and gender was taken, adds Sen.
So if 65 per cent of the respondents preferred to be casual,only 22 per cent opted for a studious look. The glamourous look was least voted for,unless it was to attract the attention of the opposite sex, says Sunil Gadgil,general manager,marketing (vision care),Bausch + Lomb. Even though it is normally believed that females aspire for a glamourous partner,the survey revealed that males almost equally preferred glamourous partners, adds Gadgil. Coloured contact lenses are also considered to be an indicator of a glamourous look. Here too,it was found that men like to make a style statement with lenses, says Gadgil.
The course also determines the kind of people students want to date. For instance,majority of the science students prefer to date a studious looking partner. Arts students prefer a casual looking partner and commerce students want a glamourous partner, says Sen,adding that the spectacles give a studious look. Spectacles on campus do not match with the idea of being cool. Moreover,glamourous looks also help avoid ragging. All students feel that a studious looking youngster is more prone to being ragged,while a glamourous looking person has least chance of being ragged, says Sen. When it comes to making friends,however,the casual look gets an upper hand. So which look is for you?
