Back To School: Set Yourself up for Success with These College Wardrobe Essentials
Whether you’re an incoming freshman or returning to college, a new school year often means it’s time for a wardrobe revamp. From choosing which bag you need to what clothes you should wear for a presentation, we have the perfect recommendations for you. Here are the top college wardrobe essentials that will take you from class to after-school activities without any stress.
School Bags
Picking a practical bag is absolutely essential for every college student. Of course, you’ll need something spacious and durable, but since you’ll be using it daily it’s important to also prioritize style. For backpacks, North Face and Fjällräven have simple designs yet a variety of colors that you can pick from. For a creative personal touch, we’d recommend adding embroidery or pins to your backpack. If you’re looking for a tote bag, you can’t go wrong with leather or suede. Simple leather totes are classy but if you prefer something with a bit more edge, go for a studded or fringe one instead.

Walkable Shoes
From classes to your dorm to the next on-campus event, you’ll be walking everywhere in college. It’s important to pick a pair of shoes that are fashionable yet still comfortable for long, busy days. For simple shoes that will complement any aesthetic, choose white or black sneakers like Adidas or Reeboks. Pair your shoes with jeans, a solid t-shirt, a jacket or cardigan, and accessorize with belts or jewelry for a repeatable everyday look.

Everyday Outfits
If you’re thinking about what you should wear to class or studying for an exam, choosing comfortable basics is always top tier. Although sweats or leggings may not seem fashionable, they just need to be styled with the right pieces to pull them off. For the perfect comfy outfit, pair them with a basic tank top layered with a cropped cardigan. Or experiment with off-the-shoulder tops for a unique cut.

Even if you’re not a business major you’ll still need professional clothes for presentations, interviews, job fairs, and more. Start by finding fitted tailored pants and a blazer for business staples that you’ll wear for years to come. To add your personal taste to your outfits shop for blouses or fitted tops with flattering silhouettes. You can also layer with a cardigan or accessorize with dainty jewelry. Pair your outfits with kitten heels for a chic and elegant touch. For business casual looks, wear the same foundational pieces but switch out your pants for jeans and a belt.
