10 Fashion Trends That Have Fueled The Low-Maintenance Lifestyle
Harper's Bizaar

Lazy became trendy sometime in the last few years and our latest fashion trends are there to prove it. Whether it be lazy Sunday morning brunches or our obvious increase in loungewear purchases, we’ve collectively decided that the lazy life is a much more enjoyable one.

Despite the many issues with this decision (that we’ll decide to ignore for the sake of this article), I’m not complaining about these trends and not too many others are either. If the hip and cool “I don’t care” look is going to give me that extra fifteen minutes of sleep in the morning, I’m down.

1. Baseball Hats

This accessory, which at one point was the epitome of laziness and bad hair days, has become a trend we've all used to our advantage at least once. On mornings where you sleep in a little too late and don't have time to wash your hair, just pop on one of these bad boys and continue on your way.

2. High Waisted Pants and Skirts


Why take the time and energy to hit the gym when you can cover up that extra little pudge with a pair of high-waisted anythings? I recommend the loose, mom-style jeans, which leave enough room to comfortably complete your daily tasks.

3. Turtlenecks and Large Sweaters


Wear it to bed the night before, go braless, whatever you want. The oversized turtleneck makes it look like you put in some effort when you actually just threw it on while walking out the door.

4. "Ugly" Dad Clothes


Who knew that your dad's socks and sandals would make a comeback? Not only his signature choice of footwear, but the button up shirts, the khaki pants, the fanny packs... at least they provide an easy back-up when your closet looks too dull.

5. Thrifting/Vintage Items


Though "vintage" may have an intimidating, expensive connotation, your mom's abstract sweater from the 80's could officiate your vintage look. Easy Peasy.

6. Cute Athletic Gear


Just when we didn't think it could get any better, leggings became cool. Not only can you walk around in the closest thing to no pants as possible, you can also wear gems like oversized t-shirts, sweatshirts, and windbreakers to complete the look.

7. Ripped Jeans and/or Mom Jeans


They're basically sweatpants, but they look cooler. That's all.

8. Messy, Chopped Hairstyles


Ditch your strict hair washing schedule and expensive treatments or masks. The textured, messy bob is in, meaning you barely have to wash, brush, or maintain your new chopped do.

9. Oversized Shirts as Dresses


Another instance that gives you the option of sleeping in tomorrow's outfit. A look without pants always trumps a look with pants.

10. Glasses

There was a time when we wouldn't be caught dead with glasses on, but the circular-rimmed or clear-rimmed frames have made the term "four-eyes" a little cooler. This trend eliminates contact-related eye irritation and could cut your morning routine down by a few minutes.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
