University of California, San Diego challenges the Faculty of Life at the University of Copenhagen to a style face-off. You decide: Who is the best dressed?

by Afton Halloran

Perhaps it's an unfair challenge. While the Californians walk around their campus dressed in their sand- and surf-inspired outfits, we sit here in the Copenhagen darkness snuggled beneath hundreds of layers.

Nonetheless, a little friendly competition never hurt anyone, right?

Think of it this way: Those of us trendsetters and obsessive compulsive, fashion-oriented folk can maybe even get a few hinters on what spring and summer fashion holds for the new year.

Or perhaps you prefer the fully clad, all-seasons look as we prepare for the dead of winter in fair Copenhagen. You decide!

Compare and vote

Whatever your style check out these galleries and decide who holds the best choice in wardrobe. Don't forget to vote below:

Status so far

So what is the status so far?

Wageningen University appears slightly more popular than the University of Copenhagen, taking 51 per cent of the vote, and Seoul is way ahead of us. But our voters have Copenhagen leading against Padua, Hong Kong, and CBS.
