This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CMU chapter.

Heat Tech Leggings (Uniqlo Women)

Every college student needs some quality warm leggings, not just the cheap three dollar leggings from Forever 21. Those leggings from Forever 21 are fine in the summer or early fall, but once the cold Pittsburgh chill settles on campus, these bad-boys are a staple for a fast, comfortable, and most importantly, warm touch.

Classic Black or Olive Bomber Jacket (Urban Outfitters)

As you may have seen, this piece is on every model and every celebrity. This highly requested and worn piece can jazz up any outfit. Throw it on top of a casual loose t-shirt and some denim shorts or jeans, a classic bomber jacket will make you the stare of the show. In college, especially Carnegie Mellon University, no one has time to coordinate outfits. But with this piece, any lazy outfit can instantly be transformed into a chic and fashionable outfit.  

 

Classic Chelsea Boot (Sacks on Fifth)

Chelsea boots are a sleeker and sassier version of slip-ons. There are no laces to cause trouble and this style can be easily styled with any pair of pants. From distressed jeans to culottes, this versatile piece will soon become an essential in your closet. You simply slip one on in the morning with any outfit and you are out the door. Even if you are late, you can still leave with some stylish gems on your feet.
