5-Second Outfit Combos for When You Have Nothing to Wear

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

We’ve all been there: It’s 8:45 a.m. and you have no time to waste before running to your 9 a.m. history lecture—yet, for the life of you, you can’t find anything in your closet to wear. You’re a busy collegiette, and between clubs, sports and class, you don’t have time to spend hours curating a day’s ensemble. That’s why we teamed up with SOREL, the premium boot brand, to help you with five foolproof formulas for outfits that will take you from day to night.

1. Shorts + Tights

Allow us to introduce you to your new autumn go-to. Bright tights with neutral-colored shorts and a sweater are easy, cozy and effortlessly chic.  You can dress this up or down depending on fabric (wool shorts are more dressy; a slouchy sweater is more casual). The highlight of the look though? SOREL’s military-inspired booties. With their rugged zipper and leather-wrapped heels, you can bet heads will turn on your way to class.

2. Boyfriend cardigan + Skinny jeans

Cozy, always in-style and incredibly effortless—talk about the perfect library outfit. You definitely already have the components of this look, but with some lux details like a soft leather backpack and SOREL’s bold full-grain leather and canvas boots, you’re sure to be best-dressed while hitting the books or the bars.

3. Crop top + Boyfriend jeans

If you like a sportier style, this one’s for you. Take your crop top from night to day by pairing with slim boyfriend jeans and SOREL’s leather boots that are as good for rainy days as they are for exam days.

4. Colored denim + Chambray shirt

This look is anything but dull. Pairing neutrals like a chambray shirt with a pop of color is the oldest rule in the book. We love the combo with a bright sweater and neutral, but bold and refined SOREL booties.

5. Printed dress + Boots

Keep a floral dress from becoming too prim and girly by toughening it up with these elegant and iconic SOREL boots. Accessorize with a convenient cross-body bag and a ring, and you’re sure to be a showstopper in both English class and the college town bar.

The next time you feel like you have absolutely nothing to wear, be sure to check out our guide! All you need are some clever basics and some beautiful, elegant SOREL boots, and you’re sure to turn heads.
