Taking two courses with labs is very demanding— not just on your schedule and psyche, but also on your fashion choices. The strict dress requirement of pants and closed toed shoes proceeds to puzzle dually science and style-obsessed girls, such as myself, on how to dress for class. While the shoe restriction accommodates edgy booties or snakeskin flats to punch up an outfit, the issue of pants is a whole other concern.
Hypothesis: If a lab-dwelling fashionista has a required dress code of pants and closed toed shoes, then she will figure out a way to spice up her outfits within the restrictions.
Prediction: The fall ’12 trend of patterned denim will add breadth to any girl’s wardrobe and promote effortlessly cool outfits that are easy to wear for lab.
Materials and Methods: One constant in your lab wardrobe this fall should be denim. It’s making a statement this season and is totally unapologetic about it. Bust out some skinnies in rich shades such as deep emerald, dark red, and wine; and all goggles will be on you! Don’t forget that subtly patterned skinnies such as dusty florals or muted animal prints can work as neutrals. Designs such as stripes, polka dots and camo are on point right now, so don’t hesitate to incorporate them into your lab attire.
Conclusion: Lab can be boring, but that doesn’t mean your outfit has to be!
