Getting up for that 8:30 am lecture each day is hard enough as it is — so getting dressed for it isn’t always the easiest feat. And now with half the semester gone, our desire to be the chicest collegiette™ on campus has waned, too. So what’s a girl to wear when we spend our days in class and our nights in the library? Here are five easy looks that are super cute and — dare we say it? — even more comfortable than your sweats!
High Fashion
Fashion knows not of discomfort in this look. Harem pants might not get you the guys but are roomier than your college sweatpants — and more fashionable too. Throw on a loose-fitting, tulip-back (or open-back) shirt that makes a statement but is still casual. A pair of suede slip-on shoes completes the look and best of all, you don’t even have to worry about color coordination when you stick with the basics: black, white and neutral.

Wildly Comfy
Collegiettes™ are notorious for the leggings and big tee combo. Don’t want to look like everybody else in your English class but craving the comfort? Opt for patterned leggings and a drape-y top. Play into this season’s top trends by mixing patterns between your leggings and shoes and by wearing orange, this fall’s hottest color, up top.
