5 College Fashion Trends Analyzed By a Fashion Major

College is the one time you can dress however you want and no one can judge you

5 College Fashion Trends Analyzed By a Fashion Major

The irony of sitting in a class talking about high fashion while dressed like a homeless person has been beyond a doubt one of the highlights of this semester. So instead of analyzing high fashion I've decided to analyze the fashion of "The College Girl". A look that can be easily mastered by pulling random clothes that don't match out of your drawers.

1. Birkenstocks

These are some of the ugliest shoes, and before college I refused to even think about buying a pair. Somehow I got sucked into the trend and was enlightened with why most every girl owned these. They're extremely comfortable and easy to slip on which makes for a grade A college closet necessity. We aren't looking for cute here; we want something that when we wake up we can just slip it on and walk out the door.


2. Large T-shirts/ Sweatshirts

If you are a girl and don't own an oversized shirt that your dad could probably fit into, then you're missing out. My shirts used to be fitted nicely until I got to college and found the easy nature that large t-shirts bring. You can sleep in them and then get up and just go to class. Again, it's a must have even if it does make you look like you have the figure of a nine year old boy, but it's fine.


3. Leggings/Nike Shorts

These are interchangeable depending on the weather. No one actually wears pants and if you do you're missing out on the glory of a elastic waistband. When that freshman fifteen hits trust me you'll be wanting that extra space that pants don't provide.

4. Scrunchies

This one has recently made a comeback and I can actually say I'm not mad about it. They come in a variety of colors and designs that can lift up your look a little bit with that extra pop of color that is almost effortless. Forget hair ties, why not add something fun to make it look like you at least tried a little bit.


5. The Gameday Look

Honestly there could be a whole article just on this. Gameday is the one day that people really do try and look their best. Ask me why we would want to look our best while scrunched up in stands packed with hundreds of people and I couldn't answer you. It's just what happens. This is when girls will bring out their dresses, cowboy boots, and blue jean skirts. Quite a change from what is originally seen around campus.

Once college is over we will all have to look professional, but for now let's enjoy looking like we just woke up.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
