A zeroth order characterization scheme
Apparently, female undergraduates tend to wear sundresses, short shorts, miniskirts, and other outfits that leave their bra straps showing.
Thus, any female wearing full length pants or a skirt with pantyhose is likely to be faculty or staff.

That may be a universal law of college campuses.

I love that the girls wear skirts wider than they are long, and the “spare tire” sort of spills out like a muffin top . . . lookin’ good, girls.

And, any female wearing overworn jeans, scuffed shoes and tops with coffee stains is likely to be a post-doc.

They are probably members of G.I.R.L.S. — Guys In Really Long Skirts.
