Often times professors will ask students to dress “business casual” for presentations in classes, and often mark you down if failed to do so. Walking around campus all day in dress pants, blazer, and dress shirts is uncomfortable — not to mention effort— and can also lead to unwanted attention. Jaclynn Lloyd (featured above) figured out a way to be stylish, comfortable, and yet business casual. 

Colored pants and funky patterned trousers are trending not only in magazines and on the run way, but around campus. As long as they are not a denim material, pairing them with a blazer can instantely dress them up for office wear. By putting the striped, cotton tee underneath the navy blazer, Jaclynn can remove the blazer after her presentation and head to her next class in a more casual, relaxed outfit.
