Here are a few pieces of clothing which I find necessary to survive college days.
1. Leggings
Leggings are a must because they can basically be worn with just about anything. You can dress them up if you are going out or you can wear them with a t-shirt and converse to go for a casual look. Another bonus when it comes to leggings is that they are extremely comfortable.
2. Sweaters
Big, over-sized sweaters not only keep you warm, but they are also extremely comfy. You can wear sweaters with almost anything and they are both dressy and casual depending on what you pair them with. Especially here in the Northeast, sweaters are a must to keep you warm while you are out and about. There are so many different styles when it comes to sweaters so it is almost impossible for a person to not find a style that they like.
3. Jeans
A lot of people don't like wearing jeans, but I think it is important to have at least one pair of jeans that you can wear out for special occasions that require you to put a little extra effort into what you are going to wear. Now I know that ripped jeans are very popular and cute, but it is important to have at least one pair that you would feel comfortable and confident wearing to an important event.
4. Riding Boots
My absolute favorite shoes are my riding boots and I highly recommend that all college girls purchase a pair. They not only last for a long time, but they also look great with basically anything that you pair them with. My favorite look is riding boots with leggings and a big sweater because they are extremely comfy and also looks appealing.
5. Flannels
Flannel shirts are very popular nowadays and are another thing that can be paired with many different things. They come in so various different colors and patterns, which makes them extremely fun. You can pair flannels with either leggings or jeans and it still looks perfect. Flannels can also be layered for extra warmth, which is why they are perfect for the winter.
6. Scarves
If you're like me, then you are always cold. It is safe to say that I wear a scarf almost every day of the week during the winter. Scarves can be worn with sweaters, sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc. They come in handy when walking to class because they are another layer of warmth to protect me from the cold. Just like flannels, scarves come in many different colors, patterns, and also styles.
7. College Gear
When you walk around campus or even your residence hall you are likely to see at least 5 people wearing some sort of college apparel. Whether it is a sweatshirt, t-shirt, sweatpants, hats, etc. you are sure to see people sporting some form of college apparel. Many people believe it is showing school spirit, but for some kids dressing in comfy clothes is the ideal go-to outfit. Many schools hand out free shirts left and right, so by the end of the school year you are likely to have a surplus of college apparel.
