The Autumn semester is here. Students today love to romanticize their academic lifestyle, especially if that means going to class wearing something fresh and trendy. After all, it is the perfect way to strike up conversations and look fashionable while meeting new people.


The babydoll top is in. While some people have mixed feelings about this style, many have found this top to be great for the first day of school. With a slightly tighter bust that proceeds to flare out towards the bottom, this is a comfortable and flattering choice for the first few days of classes.


Hollister’s babydoll top in particular is a popular commodity, with different patterns such as flowers or polka dots—and even a ribbon that ties in the back. This trending blouse is a step up from a casual T-shirt, while still modest enough for a classroom setting.


Up to date with today’s trends, loose-fitting cargo pants are another great pick. Baggy pants have taken the place of skinny jeans over the past few years, but it wasn’t until recently that these looser bottoms also became covered in pockets. Cargo pants can be distinguished by their pockets, typically on both sides of the pants and large in size.

Popular in black, green, khaki or denim, these pants are in high demand this school season. The pockets add a simple accessory to the pants, while still being comfortable enough to wear while sitting through a long lecture. In style for men and women’s fashion, Pacsun is just one brand that offers a variety of options for these pants.


Moving on, we have the tote bag, a great accessory for a school outfit and convenient for class. Most college students have a Macbook or some sort of portable laptop, which fits perfectly in a tote. It is also great for storing notebooks for those who take physical notes.
A tote isn’t just convenient; a solid shoulder bag—as opposed to a backpack—looks great with outfits, too. Versatile, stylish and totally customizable, a tote bag is perfect for getting around campus this semester.

Need some shoe inspo? Everyone is buying Adidas Sambas. They might seem like the trendy choice, but these shoes are truly timeless. According to HBX, these shoes were originally designed for soccer and are Adidas’s longest-running shoes.
The brand offers a wide variety of different colors and combinations. Not to mention, they’re incredibly comfortable. On your way to campus, High Street or even a Buckeyes game, those classic Adidas stripes will help you put your best foot forward.

Lastly, let’s talk layers. If you know Ohio State like we do, then you know that Fall is just around the corner.
Layering is a great way to navigate the transition from warm to cool weather—or even a powerful air conditioning unit. Having a hoodie or cardigan is a stylish way to bundle up if you need to. If it gets too warm, don’t worry; don a cute tank top or T-shirt underneath to beat the heat.
Getting back into a school routine can be stressful, but taking some time to plan a fun outfit for class is a great way to express yourself and feel good about getting back to classes.
