In every sector of the Quad, crevice of the Student Union and corner of the classroom, you'll find at least one hipster with a matter.
For some of us, the word "hipster" may be a near obscenity, but for others it's a mere description — by meaning the trendiest crayon in the box.
Clothing combining social responsibility and a unsurpassed look are the perfect recipe for a hipster's (or any college student's) attire, and that starts at ground level — with shoes.
TOMS are a conventional accessory for hipsters. I thoroughly enjoy the more-than-occasional TOMS spotting and its socially leading mission to donate a pair to the less fortunate for every pair bought, but I also attend to the recent spike in popularity and it makes me slightly apprehensive to allot.
Though I am always mindful not to abuse a trend by being lost in a sea of similarly outfitted students, the compel might be rewarding enough to put aside my doubt. The positive motives of the TOMS brand name has definitely influenced how similar brands choose to market and reinvent products toward the objective demographic.
