Tights are a key staple for fall and winter. They keep you warm during the cold weather, but when it heats up you can still feel a breeze. They are perfect with long socks and you can wear them with skirts, dresses or shorts. The possibilities are endless. You can find them almost anywhere; target is known to have them for around $5.00. You can stick to classic black tights that go with everything or experiment with fun colors and interesting patterns making them the statement piece of your outfit.

Oversized cardigans are perfect because you can button them up when it’s cold to keep you warm and once it heats up during the afternoon unbutton it and you receive plenty of ventilation to keep cool. These also look excellent with tights or without. Depending on how hot or cool it is supposed to be that day oversized cardigans go great with shorts, pants or leggings.

Thigh high socks keep a part or your legs warm and a part of them cool which actually equals perfect equilibrium when it’s 50 degrees at 9am and 80 degrees by 12:30pm. I personally think they look best with circle skirts and tennis skirts, but they are also super cute with high waisted skirts.
Track Jackets

Anywhere else it might be out of place to constantly be wearing workout gear, but not here at UCLA. Workout gear is a must going from the hill to the top of jan’s step is practically a hike. A cute track jacket and UCLA cap with leggings creates a casual, comfy yet cute look perfect for the day of a final or just a lazy day. Track jackets are also super versitlie when it comes to weather. They keep you warm in the cold, but are still bearable to wear when it gets hot.
