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
Abby Blackwell

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
