Aint no party like a day party cause a day party don't stop.

Darty season is about to commence and after a long summer of rest and relaxation make sure you have the essentials packed before you return to campus. From themed parties to impromptu gatherings at off-campus houses here are the foolproof go-to’s.

1. Crop Tops. Crop Tops are the new LBD’s. If you plan on dancing all afternoon in the hot sun, there’s no other option. Pair crops with high waisted skirts and shorts for a darty-ready look. A little mid-drift never hurt anybody.   

2. Metallic Jewelry Temporary Tattoos. Flash back to when you were a kid and covered you body in bright flower tattoos on from Limited Too applied with spit. Now, the older, more sophisticated form of temporary tattoos is the chicest new trend thanks to Flash Tattoos. These boho tats add a festival-feel to any outfit. Besides a darty when else will you really sport one?  

3. Jorts. It goes without saying jean shorts are a staple. The theme could be anything from luau to country and you’ll be set in jean shorts.  

4. Sunglasses. Forgetting your sunglasses for a darty is like forgetting a pencil to take an exam. The funkier the lenses, the better, but leave the shutter shades at home, Kanye.  

5. Sneakers. If you’re coordinated enough to wear heels and stand on tables, all while avoiding falling down stairs, then wear ‘em. Us mortals will stick with sneakers. Converse are a given. Rock your white high top Chuck’s or a clean pair of Supergas.  

6. Fanny Pack.  How many times have you been out and upon your return to your room in shambles your phone/wallet/ID was gone. Enter the fanny pack. They’re no longer just for tacky sock-and-sandal-clad tourists.   

7. Your Partner in Crime. Everyone’s got that one friend that makes the party that much more fun. Without them the party flops. They’ll accompany you on the dance floor, make an entrance by your side, and leave with you when the party fizzles. They’ll also ward off unwanted pursuers and instigate conversation with possible flings.  

8. Water. Most important, hydrate.
