1. Plain White Tee
This is the basic that everyone needs at least one of. This shirt is a staple for any wardrobe.
2. A Good Pair of Jeans
A solid pair of jeans can last for a couple of years, at least. Try to look for investment jeans that may seem pricier at first, but will actually save you money in the long run.
3. A Warm Winter Coat
Whether you are walking across campus or just walking out to your car, a warm coat will save your life.
4. Plain Black Leggings
Leggings have quickly become a staple in my wardrobe, and I'm sure they are in yours, too. Instead of buying the cheap $5 leggings at Forever 21, invest in a sturdier pair that will last for longer.
5. A Simple Professional Outfit
You never know when you may be asked to do something for a class that has you scrambling to look put together. Stick to clean lines with black pants, a white button-up, and a black blazer.
6. A Cozy Cardigan
You could bring a blanket with you to class, but you might get some weird looks. Instead, wear a cozy cardigan that will leave you feeling like you never left your bed.
7. A Baseball Cap
Let's face it: at least once over the semester, you will have a bad hair day. Find a cute pop of color that will draw attention to your hat, not your day-old hair.
8. A Sturdy Pair of Boots
A nice pair of boots can last you for a long time. Find boots in neutral colors, like tan or black, that you can pair with any number of outfits.
9. A Comfortable Pair of Sneakers
A comfortable pair of sneakers could save you after a day of classes. I recommend looking for shoes in white or black so you can mix and match as much as you'd like.
