With examples from 1977’s highwaisted gym shorts and \0x06fitted tank tops and 1995’s rollerblade and gym shorts fad to 2001’s monogrammed gym shorts, the infamous Nike shorts and oversized T-shirt trend of today is nothing new to Auburn. 
It’s the choice of most girls on campus, and as seen in 1984, the trend also carried over to the boys. Whether or not you want to embrace it, it seems it’s here to stay.
