Fall semester is almost here, and that means new clothing, freshly sharpened pencils and your first semester of college. I know my first semester was all about making sure I dressed the part, a well-adjusted, but not-trying-too-hard, college student. Here are some easy first semester fashion ideas for you.
On your first day of class you don’t want to seem like you actually tried on everything in your closet, but you also don’t want to seem like you are wearing what you wore to bed. For a good first-day-of-school balance, pair your favorite jeans with a graphic tee and ankle boots for the perfect, almost-put-together look. Pro tip: Classrooms are freezing on campus, so always have a sweater or jacket with you. Extra style points: go for a leather jacket.
When the weather starts to act up, make sure you have a cool fall coat to throw on. This caramel fringe number is the perfect way to show you know how to rock fall fashion. Pair this statement piece with a loose-fitting boyfriend jean and a comfy shoe.
There are going to be times during your first semester when you have to think about dressing up for an event. You may be rushing a sorority, grabbing dinner with your new roommates or just wanting to show off your fancier side. A long sleeve simple top with a midi skirt is sexy but sleek at the same time. Play up your features and add a pop of color with a bright lipstick.
But what about those 8 a.m. classes you forgot you signed up for? Clothes aren’t even on your mind, all you can think about is coffee. Well, clothing brands have come out with amazing versions of sweatpants that you shouldn’t be ashamed of wearing in public. Pair these comfortable bottoms with a tee-shirt and converse for a causal but still-put-together look.
You might have those days where you don’t even want to bother changing, but you should. The first semester of college can set a tone for all your future choices. Someone might notice your amazing style and ask you about it, or it might help you make a friend or two. Pro tip: Don’t try something new on the first day. Go with what you know. Extra pro tip: Dress for you and no one else.
