Good morning! It’s our second day of Back to School week. Today, we’re talking about what to wear on campus. I wore some of my best (and worst) outfits in college. So I wanted to share some inspo with you, from my colleague who knows what’s up.

We’re also covering: Iran is taking a more aggressive approach in the war. Oil prices hit $100 a barrel. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow a voter-screening tool. Open AI chatbots solved a major math problem. Three jurors described what happened in the Lindsay Clancy mistrial. Ben Shelton beat Carlos Alcaraz in the latest end to a match in U.S. Open history.

Fit check: It’s Jacob Gallagher’s job to know what’s cool. College quads can sometimes feel like catwalks. Jacob advises starting with one item you love and building from there, balancing uptight and casual. He suggests cotton shirts as a versatile staple, under $50 at Uniqlo.

Jacob recalls his own college style: Sperry Topsiders, characterless jeans, and button-downs. Postpandemic, fashion has become more relaxed, but a smidge of polish can do a lot.
