Cramming in class?

Make a stylish impression when you contribute in class. Looking good in a put together outfit can help promote concentration and attention in class. But comfort should not be completely eliminated. Throw on a comfy sweater and some boots made to walk in; some classes require a trek across campus.
 
Checklist: White, textured sweater- vintage; Maroon leotard (worn underneath the sweater)- vintage; Green cargo skinny pants- Victoria’s Secret; Brown riding boots- Me Too
 
Headed to a library session?

Dress chic for your next study session. Keep your outfit comfy, but classy. Comfort helps minimize restlessness while a bit of class enhances focus. Layers are essential because the temperature can be unpredictable. Pin on a brooch to bring flair to a cozy cardigan.
 
Checklist: Black wrap cardigan- Gap; White tank top (worn underneath the cardigan)- Hanes; Brooches- vintage; Jeans- American Eagle; Black short boots- Mustang
 
Workin’ it at the gym?

Work out in quality gear; it makes a difference. Moisture wicking fabric regulates the body’s temperature, while form-fitting gear can keep everything in place. Choose apparel that allows for a full range of motion, so that every exercise and stretch can be done with ease.
 
Checklist: Striped T-shirt- Under Armour; Orange sports bra- Champion; Gray Capri leggings- Simply Vera by Vera Wang; Sneakers- Saucony
 
Rockin’ out on Route 1?

Ready to groove to the music and mingle over mixed drinks? Make a statement with what you wear to steer all eyes and attention on you. Try all black with a pop of color that compliments your skin tone. Select a piece of statement jewelry to be a genuine crowd pleaser.
 
Checklist: Amethyst silk tank- Gap; Black blazer- H&M; Silver statement necklace- vintage; Black liquid leggings- Victoria’s Secret; Black tall boots- Steve Madden
 
Touring the streets of D.C.?

Visiting the nation’s capital can be a fashionable affair. Check the weather and be ready to bring a coat that makes a statement on its own with color or cut if it’s cold. Select footwear that is ideal to cross busy streets for blocks. Patterns compliment an eye-catching color, especially when they come from a fun and functional infinity scarf.
 
Checklist: Chartreuse green coat- Gap; Grey sweater- Gap; Jeans- American Eagle; Silver flats- Urban Outfitters; Patterned infinity scarf- Steve Madden
