As a college student, you want to look fashionable and on-trend for the study year ahead. Autumn gives you the opportunity to update your normal college wardrobe with stylish and fashionable pieces. This fall, become the envy of your friends and look stylish even through those hectic college classes. Here’s our list of the top five best college outfits for the new Fall season.
Upgrade Your Basics
Start your Autumn wardrobe off on the right foot by upgrading your basic pieces. Invest in a new pair of jeans like mom jeans to amp up your normal jeans style. A great alternative twist to the classic look are jeans with lightly frayed hems. Mom jeans can be worn with a cute cropped tee or tucked into a long-line blazer.
Added to this basic look, try a pair of slip-on sneakers. Choose between classic Nike or Adidas slip-on sneakers to get that added street-style look. To complete the look, add a final piece of exotic flair with some head-turning accessories like a choker necklace or a large-brimmed hat or cap.
Leather, Denim and Ponchos: The Power Trio
A great way to stay stylish and cozy this fall is to add some leather and denim to your usual look. Offset the classic Autumn sorrels with a light-coloured pair denim jeans. To toughen up the look, try a distressed leather jacket over a polo for a dressier look. Add a pair of ankle boots for extra height, and you’ve got yourself a cool and chic look for the new season.
If you want to stay extra snug during Fall, a poncho is your best bet. A brightly-coloured poncho can be worn when the temperatures drop, while still looking fashion-forward. They come in all types or styles such as geometric shapes, stripes or tribal prints. For a more casual look, pair with jeans and trainers.
Layer Up
Layering is key to staying fashionable and warm this Autumn. T-shirts work perfectly when layered over turtle and crew neck jumpers. The classic striped crew neck has been a timeless collegiate look for years, so you can never go wrong with a classic stripe. For a dressier look, throw on an oxford shirt over a t-shirt, and layer with a longline coat. Trust us when we say, you’ll look stylish while staying warm.
Accessorise with a Scarf
Scarves are the best and easiest way to brighten up any look, especially through the dull and cold Autumn months. Invest in several faux fur scarves in a variety of different colours and patterns and pair with your everyday look.
Don’t forget to accessorise
Accessories are the most fun part of styling any look and they bring your look together. From footwear to jewellery, pick some standout pieces to add to your college wardrobe. Clunky, white trainers are all the rage right now, as are statement bib-necklaces and chandelier earrings.
College is all about looking fashionable, whilst being warm and comfortable. Upgrade your usual wardrobe pieces with styling additions like a leather jacket and some chunky trainers. With the right accessories, you will be the envy of your college mates this Fall season.
