The ultimate 2024 fashion ‘ins and outs’ list
If you were a fan of “The Clique” by Lisi Harrison, then you will know that “ins and outs” lists have been around for a while.
Although the series’ main character was cutthroat and brutal with her lists, the internet has put a fun twist on them — so I decided to make my own.
Out: Cropped jackets
The Miami Student
Lee retired this trendy winter staple.
How are these keeping anybody warm?
Stylish? Sure. But I would much rather be warm and functional than freezing for an outfit that people will just see on my socials anyway.
And besides, if you do not layer correctly, outfits can quickly become awkward to wear and bulky with cropped jackets.
I loved my cropped puffer circa 2019, but whenever I wore it with oversized hoodies, it would look unbalanced and be uncomfortable to move in. The sleeves always felt too tight for their length.
A jacket that you can feel good in is so underrated. They are often just seen as something to throw over your outfit, but finding a jacket that is both stylish and functional can add complexity to your wardrobe and quickly become a staple.
Out: Noisy prints

Trends change quicker by the second, and it can be hard to keep up with them. That being said, noisy prints can be so distracting if not done properly.

Patterns can be iconic and show-stopping if executed correctly. Instead of going toward fast fashion-esque cheaply made patterns, prints should be good quality and sparsely used.
Animal prints, houndstooth and flannel patterns are best used as statement pieces, like an oversized coat or a silk blouse. Bright colors can often look busy and pull attention away from your natural features (which should always be complimented), especially when mixed with prints.
Instead of reaching for micro-trendy patterns, go for a classic that can be used in your wardrobe for years to come.
Late 2023 brought forward several trends and aesthetics, but they all took root in simplicity and minimalism. I picked two big “ins” that are easy to come by and sustainable for your closet.
In: Ribbons
The Miami Student
Lee adorns creme colors and ribbon for a classy look.
With the resurgence of the coquette aesthetic and soft femininity, ribbons have been everywhere. Urban Outfitters has a featured line, Kimchi Blue, that showcases the ribbon in several forms as sleeves, knits and even garnish.
The simple ribbon can be used in so many ways besides the conventional hair accessory. I like to tie ribbons around purse straps, replace shoelaces with them and weave them into my torn-up clothes.
Ribbons have been underutilized, but they can be so unique if you use your imagination.
In: Little black purses
The Miami Student
Lee accessorizes with functionality.
Every single time I’m in New York City, the girls look so effortlessly chic with their little black purses slung over their shoulders. I am no expert in trend forecasting, but I can predict that the popular crossbody bags will soon fade into yesterday.
As the target demographic for brands like Lululemon shift toward younger age groups, investing in a timeless black purse will ensure that your outfits always look put-together and timeless.
A little black purse will always elevate your outfits, no matter what aesthetic you are going for. It is much more practical than your average crossbody because it is more spacious and easily fits over outerwear, compared to the awkward lumps crossbody bags cause.
Building a capsule wardrobe is extremely important, especially now with such prevalent consumerism. That is why basics are in, to make sure that my clothes can stay relevant throughout the microtrends that come and go.

Ole Miss S Nick Cull’s targeting call reversed vs Miami in Peach Bowl
Should the CFP committee rethink the playoff schedule format?
Extended breaks and logistical challenges have reopened questions about whether the College Football Playoff committee should adjust the playoff schedule format.
Mississippi football’s Nick Cull avoided an ejection during the College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Thursday, Jan. 8.
As Malachi Toney reeled in a catch from Carson Beck at the Miami 49 in the first quarter, he was hit by Cull in a helmet-to-helmet collision. Right away, the officials flagged Cull for targeting, with both Toney and Cull staying down on the field with an injury.
After officials reviewed the play, the call on the field was overturned, as the officials determined that Cull did not launch and the collision seemed to be incidental. Replay assistant Matt Austin concurred with the call on the field.
The play had a major impact on the game as well. If the call had been upheld, Miami would have had the ball at the Ole Miss 34-yard line with a chance to expand its 3-0 lead. However, a few plays later, the Hurricanes were forced to punt from the 49-yard line.
On the first play of the second quarter, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacey scored on a 73-yard run to give the Rebels a 7-3 lead.
Because he was not called for targeting, Cull was not ejected from the game, which means Ole Miss will have him for the remainder of the game, if he can clear the concussion protocol. He was in the tent following the play.
Cull has 15 total tackles and three pass deflections this season for the Rebels.
Meanwhile, Toney went to the medical tent briefly for the Hurricanes, but returned to the game.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the forced turnovers: “That is and has to be our identity. We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it’s more about we look different when we’re flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent.”
