Back to School Season means time to get ready for another academic year! It’s never too early (or late) to start thinking about new clothes and accessories. When setting out your wardrobe for the coming season, be sure to take into account all of the college clothing essentials you need to pack with you. Here’s everything you need to know about creating an organized dorm room before heading off to school.
Multiple Jackets
As you go back to college for fall semester, always keep an extra jacket handy just in case. It’s always good to carry an umbrella when there’s any chance of precipitation. When it comes to style, there are certain staples you should invest in including a classic denim jacket, and a light weight colored zip up. It doesn’t hurt to own some nice clothes if you’re going out for an evening.
Athleisure Wear
College students don’t need to wear any particular type of clothing when attending class. If you want to be comfortable and stylish at the same time when sitting for hours during your weekly lectures, add an item from the athleisure section to your shopping cart. There are so many different types of clothes out there; whether you’re looking for something cute and fashionable or comfortable and warm, they’re all available at your local store. Even though some athleisure brands may be expensive, there are plenty of affordable options available if you’re willing to shop around. You may want to shop at stores like Marshall’s or even look for used items on sites like ThredUp. College students can often find high quality athletic wear for less than they would pay elsewhere.
Seasonal Style
Regardless if you’re planning to go home for the holiday break or not, having some winter/fall clothes available at school is important. Your courses may start out during the summer but they won’t be warm for long! You’ll soon realize that the weather changes fast here too. Make sure to always keep plenty of long sleeve shirts and pairs of pants handy. You don’t need to worry if you’re too warm when wearing jeans to school because you can wear them ripped up instead. Or, you could just buy some new ones.
Weekend Looks
It makes sense for classes to be tiring because they last seven days straight but it doesn’t mean that the weekend isn’t an ideal time to relax. Don’t be surprised if your roommate asks you for a night out one day. Have several basic outfits ready for when you need them. You don’t want to be stuck wearing something boring because you didn’t plan ahead enough. With these choices, you’ll be able to stay up to date with current college fashions without having to spend too much money.
Simple Shoes
Students walk a lot during their college years, but they often run from one place to another when they need to get somewhere fast. One good way to keep your shoes looking stylish is by buying them from stores that sell inexpensive items. With so many options available for shoes today, from classic pairs to sleek ones, wearing something simple but stylish will help you look more consistently put together. If you want to look good but don’t know where to start, choose colors that match every color scheme, like black or brown. These will be versatile enough to fit into any situation.
