Duke students camp out in tents for weeks before big basketball games — an entire tent city called Krzyzewskiville — just to earn a spot in the student section. That level of devotion carries over into everything on campus, gameday included, and it's the kind of quirky, all-in school spirit your daughter is about to be part of in Durham.
A Send-Off Kit for a Duke Girl
Since Duke's newest apparel drop is still restocking, we built this one around hair and jewelry pieces she can wear immediately, with any tee or dress she already owns. Start with the Duke Blue and White Dual Scrunchies, $35, an easy everyday staple. The Duke Blue Bow Barrette, $65 dresses up a simple ponytail for gameday. The Duke Blue Thin Embroidered Headband, $55 is a subtle, wearable everyday option. And the Duke Pearl Studs, $32 round out the set with something she can wear well beyond basketball season.
