Howard University has a very diverse population of students, hailing from all over the world. These students express their emotions, personality, and culture via the outfits they choose to wear. Check out some of the best dressed students at Howard University:
Kendall Wharton: Sophomore English major, Legal Communications Minor from Chicago, IL
“I describe my style as one of a kind. I hate looking like other people or having the same clothes as people. I’m very versatile. I like dressing up in heels but I also like wearing gym shoes and hoodies.”

Wharton is sporting a cashmere jacket from Missguided and razor sharp middle part with Balmain jeans. She pairs patent leather pointed toe heels from Steve Madden for an upscale, trendy look.
Raaziq Brown: Junior Human Development Major, Electronic Studio Art Minor from New York, N.Y.
“I thrift most of my clothes and I’m super picky about what I choose to wear. I’m really into textures. Convenience and comfortability is always better than ‘fashion.’ I feel like style is not about brands at all.”
