Who needs an occasion to look cute? Move-in day is a big deal, especially for freshmen! If you have a new roommate (or two) or are looking to increase numbers in your #squad, your outfit may very well be the first impression these unfamiliar faces have of you. Not to mention that you never know when you might meet your future spouse. So, you might as well dress to impress. Not sure where to start? Let us help! Are you feeling…

If you love combat boots and graphic tees, there’s no better way to dress down than with a vintage military tee and ripped jeans. The boyfriend fit of the jeans adds the necessary comfort level for the constant trips up and down stairs while unloading the car.

Top (AliExpress $33.06)

Jeans (Target $22.49)

Shoes (Steve Madden $59.95)

Girly?

Here’s a comfy dress option for all the girly girls reading this! If there’s one thing you learn by being a girl, it’s that you can never go wrong with a little black dress. Spice up your LBD with a jean jacket and a slick pair of black sandals.

Try these:Dress (PacSun $34.95)

Jacket (Levi’s $44.90)

Shoes (Sperry $64.99)

Bold?

If your personality is larger than life, then these fun patterned pants will let everyone know! Be sure to keep your top simple, so that your pants really pop and they don’t clash with your upper half.

Try these:Pants (Revolve $45.00)

 

Ultimately, what you wear should be an accurate depiction of who you are. So definitely use these suggestions for reference, but don’t forget to make the outfit your own by adding pops of color, accessorizing, or accenting with hair and make-up. Also, remember that when moving in, comfort is key!
