With autumn just around the corner, it’s important to ensure you are giving away (or your students can purchase) the right kind of clothing for autumn sports and everyday life around campus. |
|
When does Autumn begin? | |
According to the meteorological calendar, Autumn begins in September with the beginning of autumn being marked by the autumn equinox which occurs around the 22nd September*. With hours of daylight reducing from around 16 hours per day in summer to 11 in autumn, the right clothing for outdoor events is essential**. | |
Some love it, some hate it, but as the dark and colder evenings start to draw in, practical clothing becomes more important than ever. |
|
Whether it be something like the top favourite for students – the hoodie – or something quirky like branded university socks, there is an option for all budgets. |
|
The mystery of the odd sock |
|
A scientific study revealed we lose around 1,264 socks over a lifetime, with sock loss estimated to cost £2,528 per person over a lifetime and £2 billion per year for all Brits. The research also found that coloured socks make up the majority of missing socks (55%), compared to other types (including white and patterned items) which make up the remainder#. | |
So, what better way to stand out from the crowd and replenish the sock draw with branded socks for your students as part of their welcome packs this year? |
|
What do your students need University branded clothing for? |
|
Student clothing is an excellent way for your brand to be seen, even if it just walking around campus to and from lectures. And very importantly…nostalgia! Getting a university branded hoodie is a rite of passage for many university students, and alumni alike. |
|

|
We’ve handpicked some of the best options for your students, including the best to keep them warm whilst out and about on campus! |
