As the fall semester of the school year continues on, one of the greatest tasks students will face is figuring out what to wear to class. Every student wants to be comfortable in class, but wants to look cute at the same time (not to mention the fact that it’s also getting colder). This task can sometimes feel impossible! Even with a closet full of clothes, many may feel like they have “nothing to wear.” Why does this happen? This is because they lack certain closet essentials that would make building outfits so much easier.
1. Flare leggings
Everyone wants to achieve the utmost comfort when attending classes, and wearing flare leggings can do just that. Usually worn in gray or black, flare leggings can easily be paired with almost anything to make a perfect outfit. These are available at Target for a very affordable price ($20). Considering that it’s getting colder, the optimal top that can be worn with these leggings is a long sleeve tight fitting crop top. This top can virtually be any color if you opt for gray or black leggings — they go with everything! Add on a comfy pair of sneakers, your favorite zip up jacket, and you’re good to go!
2. Matching lounge sets
Characterized by soft knit material, a semi cropped zip up hoodie, and flared pants or joggers, matching lounge sets are not only trending, but they’re extremely comfortable and flattering! The Frankie’s Bikinis Cloud Knit set is known to give you more bang for your buck. Spice it up with dainty jewelry and a claw clip! This outfit can go with fur boots or sneakers, depending on the weather or just how you’re feeling that day!
3. Sweatpants
Sweatpants are often worn in the classroom in general, but this can be switched up by wearing sweatpants that are a tad bit more colorful. Rather than the traditional gray or black, colors such as navy blue, cream, or even pastel can be worn. These sweatpants can be worn with white or black crop tops, or any neutral colored top of your choice! The great thing about sweatpants is that you can dress it up with the right tops and accessories! Add some chunky jewelry and your favorite pair of sneakers for a more classy look.
4. Fitted Running Jacket
The LuluLemon Define jacket has been trending for quite some time now. Infamous for its “snatched” look, the jacket is flattering, lightweight, and can be easily styled! However, if you’re looking for a more affordable option, there are tons of “dupes” available on Amazon. They come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to baby pink. Pair with leggings and a cute claw clip for the ultimate “pilates princess” look.
5. White Chunky Sweater
Whether you prefer them cropped or long, a white chunky sweater is the perfect college student closet essential (classrooms can get cold!). These sweaters are so comfortable and are perfect for fall. You can style these sweaters with practically anything, as they are so versatile, and white goes with everything! Some options include leggings or jeans and a cute pair of boots! You can add a headband to complete the look, or opt for a cute scrunchie.
