School is officially back in session and it’s time to dress to impress. Shopping for new clothes and selecting what to wear each day can sometimes be a very time-consuming and stress-inducing process, but it doesn’t always have to be. Here is a guide to putting together the perfect back-to-school wardrobe.

A must-have in every college wardrobe is loungewear, particularly a pair of comfortable sweatpants. To be realistic, not every day is an easy day in college, and being able to have a pair of cute sweatpants to throw on is a must-have. Sweatpants provide an easy way to look cute and comfortable at the same time and can easily be paired with any hoodie or t-shirt.

Another essential piece to every college wardrobe is a pair of good-quality blue denim jeans. Blue jeans are exceptionally easy to style allowing for an effortless, and yet still cute, look. Jeans can be paired with an oversized hoodie, a cute sweater, a t-shirt and anything in between.  

Athleisure is perfect for these last few hot days before fall comes around. Athleisure can be cute and comfortable, giving a look that is both sporty and chic without even trying.

Sweaters, of course, are the third essential that must be found in your fall semester wardrobe. Sweaters are the perfect addition to any fall outfit and are great to carry around when the weather begins to cool off.

Don’t forget about the basics. Having items like white and black mini t-shirts and tank tops can help serve as a solid start to any outfit. Basics are items that can be used as a base layer for almost every outfit and adding accessories like jewelry and sweaters can complete the look.

There is a large variety of types, sizes and lengths of skirts that can transform any casual outfit into something a little bit more special. A long denim skirt can bring any Pinterest outfit to life.

Graphic tees are a great way to bring personality to any look. Pairing a graphic tee with cargo pants or a maxi skirt doesn’t take away any level of comfort but does level up your look.

A must-have for any closet is button-ups. With internships and interviews at the forefront of college life, it is important to always have something a bit more formal in the back of the wardrobe. The nice thing about button-ups is that they can easily be dressed down. Pairing a button-up with a tank top and some jeans can give any button-up a more casual feel.

There is so much walking to be done around campus therefore, having comfortable sneakers are very important. A pair of go-to shoes when walking to class or to meet up with friends is a necessity.

Lastly, Jewelry is the perfect way to spice up any look. Some staple pieces include hoop earrings and a few dainty necklaces that you can layer over any outfit.
