COLLEGE OUTFIT IDEAS
Heading to college this fall and don’t know what to wear? We got you! Step on campus in style with our top college wardrobe essentials and outfit ideas. Your closet will be one less thing you need to worry about this semester.
TOPS:
The ideal college wardrobe includes a mix of comfortable and practical tops that can be styled in multiple ways. College dorm closets can be quite small so choose your tops wisely – we recommend a few basic tees and tanks, sweaters and sweatshirts that you can wear for class or lounging, game day attire, and going out tops. Depending on the weather of your school, you may also want to bring a few layering pieces like a leather jacket and a button up.

BOTTOMS:
Your college wardrobe needs to be versatile to account for many different occasions – and so do the bottoms you choose to bring. Of course, you’ll need a pair of jeans that you can love and wear on repeat, from class to a night out. A few comfortable pairs of shorts and pants are also key for class, coffee runs, and study sessions. Lastly, a few mini skirts for parties and game days are essential.

SHOES
Everyday sneakers are absolutely essential for class, running around campus, and daily activities. We also recommend a comfortable yet put-together pair of slides that can be worn around the dorm and to class on lazy days. A pair of black boots and flats are ideal for going out. Depending on the vibe of your school, you may also want to invest in a pair of cowboy boots for game days.
