"When it comes to school-logo apparel, all I can say is: There is life beyond the college sweatshirt (sorry, John Belushi). From classic collegiate-striped scarves to branded cowboy boots, the options for displaying alma mater pride have gotten much more sophisticated. If you&amp;#x27;ve got a soon-to-be graduate in your life or just want a subtle way to show your school pride during tailgate season, try one of these fun, preppy ideas on for size! BTW: Fellow Glamour girl Nikki Ogunnaike and I both went to the University of Virginia (wahoowa!), hence the obvious bias in the image choices below, but all of the gifts come in lots of schools&amp;#x27; versions! As far as this Southerner is concerned, cowboy boots are the ultimate flats. A pair of Nocona&amp;#x27;s branded boots will have any grad kicking up her heels in style. Nocona Collegiate cowboy boots, $199, collegeboots.com If cowboy boots aren&amp;#x27;t your thing, how about a pair of au courant velvet slippers? These lovelies from JP Crickets are super versatile and super chic (though not, sadly, super cheap). JP Crickets University linen shoes, $328, jpcrickets.com For those into uber-traditional, you can&amp;#x27;t get more classic than J. Press&amp;#x27;s collegiate striped scarves. Yes, it&amp;#x27;s May, but as the Starks say, winter is coming (back...again...someday). And they&amp;#x27;re on sale now! J. Press collegiate scarf, $73.50, jpress.com Because as a proud university alumna, red Solo cups are so passe.

York Designs needlepoint bracelet, $40, countryclubprep.com Another under-the-radar way to show some school pride is with a custom polo shirt. Pick the fit, details, and, most important, colors (UVA&amp;#x27;s navy and orange look fab on my boyfriend polo star Nacho Figueras) and the nice folks at Ralph Lauren will whip one up for your grad. Create Your Own Big Pony polo shirt, $98, ralphlauren.com Got some state school pride? Pull on a decidedly subtle, non-fratty State Traditions hat&amp;amp;#8212;the outlines of each state are rendered in school colors! State Traditions hat, $25, statetraditions.com Are you buying school-themed gifts for any of the grads in your life? Do you wear your alma mater&amp;#x27;s logo with pride? And would you wear any of these styles? (I would totally wear them all. And probably at the same time.) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
