There are a lot of transitions and adjustments during college. It’s likely that you don’t have a lot of storage space if you live in a dorm or other type of student accommodation. By stocking your closet with a select few pieces for your college wardrobe that you can wear for every event, you can conserve that essential space. Ensure that you put up your best effort for classes, clubs, and other activities. There’s no need to dress in complete business attire to attend class, but you can update your look by purchasing a few essential pieces:
T-Shirts
The T-shirt, ah. Without your closet being overflowing with free t-shirts from university activities, organizations, and intramurals, college wouldn’t be the same.
However devoted you may be to your sophomore back-to-school party t-shirt or your freshman welcome week t-shirt, you need a few basic tees that you can dress up or down as needed.
Casual Button-Up Shirts
One of the most adaptable shirts is the button-up. It can be dressed up for a job interview or worn casually to class.
Learn the technique of the rolled sleeve to upgrade your appearance and achieve that cool, casual appeal.
The versatility of the button-up is its best feature. A button-up can be found in almost any pattern or print, or you can choose solid colors for a more subtle appearance.
Crew Neck Sweaters
Sweaters are a terrific wintertime staple because they are warm and fashionable.
For a simple layered look, invest in a solid-colored jumper to pair with any button-up or t-shirt.
A grey crewneck jumper is a terrific alternative to this cream cashmere jumper if you’re searching for something a little more reasonably priced.
Add a splash of color, like this green option, if you think your wardrobe is becoming too monochromatic.
Denim Jacket
A jean jacket is a timeless and functional addition to your collection, whether it’s grunge, minimalist, or outdoorsy.
The perfect denim jacket may look amazing with anything in your closet and is ideal for cool weather.
For a vintage-inspired look, pair this light denim jacket with a white t-shirt and dark jeans, or for fall, pair this dark-washed jacket with a flannel.
Chino Pants & Chino Shorts
Recently, college students have started to want relaxed and cozy chinos.
Chinos are more dressy than jeans because they may be worn with a jacket and button-up or casually for class with a T-shirt and sweater.
Consider purchasing a pair of khaki chinos from H&M to go with your darker shirts and blazers or a pair of dark blue chinos to go with your whites and greys.
These shorts are available from Uniqulo in pink and yellow if you prefer lighter hues to liven up your wardrobe.
Sneakers
The trainer is your best bet for shoes you use every day.
A timeless pair of Converse or Vans is a sure bet.
You can also purchase a pair of high-end trainers like the Greats Royale if you are aware of what a white shoe is for.
