This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

With the winter weather finally starting to reveal itself, students at UCSB have had to be more creative with their fashion in order to stay chic and warm. Some students chose to be daring and pair something short with a warm top, while others chose to bundle up with leggings and scarves. One big trend that was evident all throughout the UCSB campus and Isla Vista was big, green army style jackets. Leave it to UCSB students to stay stylish even in the cold!

 

​I chose to wear my polla dotted skirt with a pink sweater and black ankle boots to keep myself warm.

Kimmie Hackney (1st year) pairs her dress with brown knee-high boots and a chunky scarf.

Roshanak Ahmed (2nd year) rocks her shorts with black biker boots and a blue beanie.

Christine Faris (3rd year) looks classy and chic in a black dress, knee-high socks, and brown boots.

Sara Vafi (2nd year) wears a trendy camo jacket with beige boots.

Michelle Kim (3rd year) keeps it nice and neutral with a patterned beige sweater and a brown anorak.

Christina Cowan (1st year) looks edgy and sophistocated, sporting the trendy green jacket with black leggings and boots.

Sagan Evans (1st year) looks cute and comfy in black leggings, knee-high boots, and a red & blue flannel.

Sarah Hewlett (1st year) stylishly adds a pop of color to her outfit with a bright orange scarf. 

Kristy Kim looks cool and classy in a striped sweater and warm scarf.

Tessa Sanders (1st year) rocks her black leggings with a gray long sleeve shirt and denim vest.

 

I hope you all are inspired to get more creative with your outfits this holiday season! :)
