College can be a huge adjustment for most freshmen. At the beginning of the school year, you’re still figuring out how to get around, what all of the buildings are, and how to spend your time. With all of that going on, it can be difficult to plan your outfits and figure out what you’re supposed to wear to college classes.
Most colleges in the US don’t have a formal dress code. However, it is definitely still expected that students dress appropriately. You can’t show up to class in your underwear and your teacher may ask you to leave if you show up with an extremely graphic or violent T-shirt.
Today we are going to give you some tips and tricks on dressing for college classes.
- Keep it Comfy
Most students dress in super casual and comfy clothes for college classes. Being comfortable in class is so important because it allows you to focus on what’s going on instead of the fact that your jeans are digging into your stomach. Make sure that your clothes are not too tight-fitting or too loose for maximum comfort.
- Don’t forget about your shoes
When you’re getting dressed in the morning, make sure you consider what shoes you’re going to wear to class. Wear shoes that are comfortable and easy to put on and take off.
One of the college student’s favorite shoes for college is white sneakers. They go with pretty much any outfit and they’re super comfy for walking around campus all day.
Make sure your shoes have great traction and are comfortable enough for walking around campus. If there’s any rain in the forecast, it’s a good idea to wear waterproof shoes like rain boots.
- Wear Neutral Colors
If you want to look classy and put together, stick with neutral colors that go well with your skin tone. It’s really easy to put together a cute outfit if you have a lot of neutral-colored clothes in your dorm closet.
- Check the weather
College students do a lot of walking outside. Make sure you’re always wearing clothing that is appropriate for the weather. In cold weather, layering is so important. You don’t want to wear heavy clothing because your lecture halls might be hot. The best thing to do is layer with lightweight clothing items like long sleeve t-shirts and cardigans. That way you can take them off if it warms up outside or if your professor is blasting the heat in class. A great rainy day outfit for female students is a rain jacket, rain boots, and leggings.
- Accessorize
Accessories can turn a plain outfit into something that fits your personal sense of style. You can pair a basic outfit with some cute gold jewelry to elevate the look a bit. Some accessories that are really on-trend right now are hoop earrings, claw clips, and colorful rings.
The most important accessory that you’ll need for class is a bag or backpack. Make sure that the bag you bring is big enough to fit everything you’ll need for the day. You don’t want to have to run back to the dorm hall because you didn’t have room for all of your textbooks.
