College is the perfect time to try out some new styles. Here are some essentials:
Belts
GiphyBelts are the perfect way to accentuate any outfit and make it look more put-together. Go for a simple black or beige, or even a funky design if you're feeling it!
Tucked Tees
GiphyYour t-shirts might not be as cool as this guy's, but go through your drawers, and dig out that old band tee. Tuck it in, and finish it off with a belt -- low-effort, but still fashionable.
Denim Jackets
GiphyJean jackets are super easy to throw on. They're stylish, and they usually have some convenient pockets. If you're worried about too much denim in your outfit, ditch the jeans and throw on a pair of leggings or black pants for a super easy and trendy fit.
Button-Ups
GiphyDitch gender norms, and consider putting on a button up. You can wear a classic, plain shirt, or even go for a patterned print. Shirts like this look great when they're tucked in and worn with a belt. You'll definitely look super snazzy.
Cuffed Jeans
GiphyKeep your jeans from looking frumpy by cuffing them. It's a simple way to look more fashionable and a convenient way to show off your shoes. Stylish cuffs are anywhere from 1.5 to 2 inches, but cuff to your heart's content. There are no rules here.
Black Jeans
GiphyBlack jeans look great cuffed, too, and they're an easy way to get out of the routine of wearing blue jeans too often. You can't go wrong with black jeans and a t-shirt that expresses something important to you.
Army Pants
GiphyArmy pants look great when paired with a plain black or white shirt. Throw on some combat boots to finish off the outfit, and you'll be looking like a badass in no time. Unstoppable.
Flannels
GiphyFlannels have a lot of potential. They can be worn on their own or layered over a t-shirt. Consider wearing them with leggings or tucked into jeans for the perfect fall look.
Blazers
GiphyWomen in blazers are super attractive. Blazers a perfect if you're going for a more formal look, but you can even wear them casually over a plain t-shirt. They're a definite confidence-booster.
Cool Socks
GiphySocks can peek out under cuffed jeans, so rock something silly! There are some pretty cool socks out there, and they don't even have to match!
Converse, Vans, and Dr. Martens
GiphyLet's talk shoes. Your outfit can have a drastically different vibe, depending on what shoes you pair with it. Converse, Vans, and Dr. Martens are classics, and they look great with jeans. High tops are a signature look to pair with cuffed pants.
