What Girls In STEM Are Wearing This Season

My university campus is in central London, and it’s filled with STEM girls – I am also a STEM girl, hence my obsessive observations. As I take my outfit inspiration from people I see out and about, I decided to compile my observations to: 1. give you some inspiration, and 2. give you an insight into a girl in STEM’s wardrobe.

The vibe of my campus is cosy and comfortable. For the girls to achieve this, the main clothing items I have seen a lot of are:

1. Knitwear – big, cosy, warm, snuggly crewneck jumpers
2. Scarfs – all the colours! The bigger, the better
3. Wide leg everything! – cargos, jeans, parachute pants
4. Boots – Dr Martens are a STEM girl’s best friend

Here are the questions I asked 5 girls in STEM on my campus, and the answers they had:

What fashion trends are you loving at the moment?

• “Pops of red”
• “Cherry red leather (boots, bags and jackets), chunky knit jumpers and aviator jackets”
• “Knitwear. This is such a good trend because it’s more sustainable, knitwear tends to last longer. Also perfect for winter! ‘Coogi’ style knit jumpers, white knit jumpers or stripes are my favourite.”
• “This is so hard, but I’m a big fan of cosy girl winter stuff like big jumpers and UGG boots and cutesy sort of stuff like that”
• “Medium/low waist, baggy trousers”

What is your go to campus outfit?

• “Cargos and a hoodie and a very warm coat”
• “Baggy t-shirts”
• “Chunky knit grandad jumper, baggy low waist jeans and platform docs is my go-to comfy lab outfit right now”
• “Any wide length or flared trousers or jeans with a warm big knit”
• “My go to outfit would probably be jeans and a jumper of some kind with converse, or if I’m feeling VERY lazy it’ll be gym leggings and a cosy hoodie”

Where do you get your outfit ideas from?

• “I have no originality, so anyone I see when I’m out”
• “Pinterest and OOTD TikToks are my go to”
• “I take inspiration from going outside really”
• “My outfit ideas mainly come from my sister or TikTok”

Where is your favourite place to shop?

• “Charity shops if I can find anything, or Weekday sales
• “Weekday and Vinted”
• “I love vintage shopping if I’m in the mood to rummage around and see what good second-hand finds I can get”
• “I’m lazy so I tend to go for ASOS, because then I can get stuff from loads of different brands and it’s all in one place for me to look at, or I love a bit of H&M too”

To conclude, girls in STEM need cosy, comfy and warm outfits this winter season. They like pops of colour through scarfs, shoes or accessories. Most of us like second-hand shopping around London, like in charity shops or at car boot sales (Peckham car boot is a personal favourite), or on Vinted. Basically, girls in STEM need cosy outfits to get through their classes this season!
