Books&Liquor
The 60 degree weather, blooming magnolias, and daily sunshine seem to announce that spring has finally arrived at Harvard. Isn’t it nice to shed our wool pea coats and oversized scarves so that we can finally stroll around the Yard in airy blouses and tweed blazers for once? A quick glance at these images shows the almost abrupt seasonal transition in campus style. Out with the knitted hats and knee-high boots, the cozy head-to-toe outfits, and in with the polka-dotted prints and bright colors! The photographers at Books&Liquor bring you the first installment of an FM style series. We capture students, professors, tourists, and pedestrians whose diverse sartorial expressions color the campus with flair and style. After all, the Yard’s unique aesthetic is defined not merely by its historic brick and Georgian architecture, but also by those interesting individuals who frequent it.
