People always say, college is a time to try knew things and figure out who you really are, but how do you find the time to develop your personal style when studies are taking up all of your time?
When it comes to college fashion, the easiest thing to do is try to fit in. With the hussle-and-bussle of managing schoolwork, it can be difficult to find the energy to wear anything but a hoodie with your University’s logo on it. If this timeless classic is your cup of tea, then read no more! However, if you want your personal style to stand out this year, here are some tips and trick to help you “get the look” and feel good wearing it.
The art of “elevating” a Graphic Tee
So you’ve just been accepted to your new University and you want to show a bit of school spirit, but how do you keep things looking chic? In fashion, you can really never go wrong with a good graphic tee. They are timeless pieces that are built for an effortlessly casual look. By adding a tailored pant or a bright and flowy skirt, you can easily take a graphic tee from “not too shabby” to “shabby chic”. Tucked in, or tied at the front, a graphic tee can quickly become an elegant part of your wardrobe. Bonus points for pairing a statement shoe that can carry you from class to class. When most of your peers will be wearing the same campus merch, finding ways to make yourself stand out can really give you a much needed confidence boost.
Sweatpants & How to make them work for you
Ah yes, the beloved sweat pant, an article religiously worn by college students around the world. Listen, we’re not one for sacrificing comfort when it comes to style, but there are a few things that can be done to take this scruffy pant and make it fabulous. The easiest being, a monochrome look. By choosing a neutral colored sweat pant and pairing it with a similarly colored top, trench, and shoe, you can quickly make a casual outfit look extremely put together. The best part? No one will know that you’ll still feel like you’re wearing pajamas in public! Bonus points for adding layered, chunky jewelry for an extra ounce of elegance.
The Power of a Statement Shoe
Never underestimate the power of a well tailored shoe. Whether you opt for a pop of color, or a timeless black, a sleek shoe can take any casual outfit to the next level. A statement shoe is quite possibly the wisest wardrobe-investment you’ll make. A simple Mary Jane style is our favorite for adding a bit of Parisian-chic to any look. Pair it with a wide-leg jean and a feminine blouse, and you’re sure to turn some heads in your next lecture.
