One can never go wrong with a big T-shirt or shorts. I practically live in this outfit during the summer, pairing it with my Chacos or Birkenstocks. They may not be the most attractive combination but gosh, they sure are comfy. This trend has spread like a plague amongst high school and college students. Many are sporting an extra large T-shirt that often makes others question if they are wearing any shorts underneath. I, too, am often found wandering around the house in this outfit, especially after a long day at work and I am in need of a nap. For many college students, this is often their go-to outfit each day.

I can't blame them, sometimes I would rather be comfortable than stylish, but I also think that it is important to dress nice for class.

I have read many articles on how dressing up for class in college is a huge mistake and how I will inevitably grow out of it. However, as a business major, I believe that it is important to dress well. In high school, I would occasionally wear a big t-shirt and some running tights if I wasn't feeling it or if I had morning pool practice with my cross country team. However, I just simply found that I was at the top of my game when I dressed nice. I felt confident and professional.

Confidence is important in college and a great outfit can help boosts those levels. I would often pair some nice jeans with my favorite blazer and flats. I have nothing against those that chose comfort over style, but I personally found that if I dressed down for school, I wasn't motivated and I would want to sleep during class.

I also believe in the saying, "Dress for the job you want". I'm hoping to be a successful business woman and I want to start getting into the habit of dressing for it now than later. In addition, you never know when a great networking opportunity arises. It is important to show potential references/employers that you want to be successful, dress for success. It also gives a great first impression to your peers and professors. Plus, dressing nice is my motivation to eat well and exercise so I can still fit into my favorite slacks.
