Street style in 1953. Wellesley College students photographed by Lisa Larsen.

Sidenote: I’m pretty sure the caps a couple of the girls are wearing are actually “beanies.” I don’t know how beanies are currently used at Wellesley but I hope some vestiges still exist. At my high school, which used to be a prep school for Wellesley, Senior girls give Junior girls beanies during one of our traditions as part of the passing on of seniority. The beanies are a formality now, since they’re only worn during this tradition, and it’s neat to see them being worn casually in this photo.

We still have beanies at Wellesley College for Awesome Awesome Women!
