 What to Wear: Airplane Travel Outfits and Tips4/13/2012 |
April is officially here, and with it, of course, come term papers (please notice there is more than one term papers to write...), finals, and severe sleep deprivation. You know where this is going, right? Summer is almost here—only a few more weeks and you collegiettes will definitely be smiling at life all over again. This got me thinking about plans, exciting adventures, and long flights to Europe with your girlfriends. But, as much fun as vacations are, the long, very long flights are definitely difficult, and if you are like me, deciding what to wear is even tougher: you want to be comfortable through your flights and your transfers and at the same time, you want to show up looking chic and not like a total slob! You never know who you are going to see on that plane. Fear not—I have created a comfy but cute outfit for travel. Even if you are not flying, these are still great for car and bus rides. I also included a list of some general “do’s and don’ts” to help you look great, just like your outfit! |
 Campus Fashion3/12/2012 |
We always pay attention to how we dress at the beginning of the semester. Everyone takes the time to pick an outfit, accessories to match the outfit, and some girls will even take their time to decide what they are going to do with their hair (not talking about me here!). Before you know it, readings begin piling up—it’s already paper season and you just do not have the time to prepare your outfits for school anymore. As homework assignments and papers appear, so do the sweatpants. However, there are a few McGill collegiettes out there who consistently come to class appropriately dressed with cute outfits and killer confidence. Read on to meet a few of these savvy collegiettes as Her Campus McGill sits with them to talk fashion! Name: Maryam Aziz Name: Clara Nencu |

 3 Fashion and Style-Related Resolutions for 20121/11/2012 |
Happy New Year, collegiettes™! To start 2012 off right, I’ve come up with three fashion and style-related resolutions for you to follow this year. Check them out! You should start by getting rid of clothes you have not worn in a year: those that do not fit, outdated trends, everything that you don’t need, and then decide how you are going to organize your closet. For example: store your most-used items in plain sight and the less-used items below and the least-used items up high. Once you have organized your closet, keep it that way! Fold your clothes neatly and put them back in their place, hang your clothes back up, and put your shoes back in order. This may be the most difficult part but if you take the time everyday to maintain it, your closet should be organized. 2. Discover your signature style To find your signature style start with adjectives to describe your style like “sophisticated, timeless, put-together” or “fun, eclectic” and look into your closet to see if your clothes fit your signature style. If they do, keep them. If they don’t, there is no point in keeping something that is not “you!” |
 How to Dress for a Day-Long Study Session at the Library12/10/2011 |
The semester is almost over. This means that you have endless hours of studying ahead of you. I believe the library provides the trickiest dressing scenario because you do not want to look like you just rolled out of bed, but at the same time you want an outfit that balances comfort, practicality, and style, all at the same time. The library is not a fashion show but you should not show up in the “sweatpants and UGGs” uniform. Here are some tips on how to look cute and comfortable for a study session at the library.
There is nothing wrong with wearing leggings to a study session They are comfortable, body-friendly, and look cool. If you are going to wear leggings though you should remember these three important rules: 1. Wear thick and opaque leggings 2. Layering is crucial: do not wear leggings as pants. Rather think of them as tights to wear under skirts, dresses, and short—NOT t-shirts |
 Cute Cold Weather Looks11/15/2011 |
Now that the weather has changed, and that fall is here, it is time to embrace cold weather fashion! Just because it’s cold and windy outside, it does not, and should not mean that you have to wear your leggings and oversized McGill sweatshirts, plus American Apparel hoodie uniform. I strongly believe that we should look good. You will automatically feel more confident, and plus, you never know you are going to see on campus. Coco Chanel says it well: "I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little—if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny." [1] So check out these three easy tips on how to look chic for class during cold weather. |
