When I walk around campus, I am very aware of what other girls are wearing. Some girls dress to kill and look effortlessly chic making their way to their 9 a.m. geology lab. Others are slaying game days in the fall, and somehow have perfect contours and flawless lipstick. One thing I have noticed are the fashion trends that have been popular since I've been in college. Granted, I come from an area that is pretty affluent, I was still surprised at the expensive yet seemingly common items I saw on a day to day basis. Maybe these trends are purely a southern thing, or maybe even just an occurrence at Auburn, but I see these items by the thousands every week. So if you're a girl trying to step up your fashion game, a senior in high school looking to make a splash come fall, or maybe even a boyfriend looking for gift ideas, take some notes.
1. Chacos
People love to hate on Chacos. Either you love them or hate them. Personally I think that they are comfortable, easy to wash and perfect for hiking outdoors.
2. Wooly Threads
If you are in a sorority, chances are you own one of these pullovers. They are only sold wholesale and they're pretty expensive which makes them even more exciting and to wear.
3. Monogrammed Baseball Cap
What do you do when you wake up 10 minutes late to class and have no time to shower? Just throw on one of these bad boys and show the world that you're an athletic, yet classy dry shampoo wearer.
4. True Grit Jacket
These things are so ridiculously soft. I'm pretty sure you could wear one during a Russian winter and you wouldn't feel a thing.
5. Large Srat T-Shirt
By the time college is over, you will most likely accumulate hundreds of these shirts. They take you back to some of the best (or worst) memories of your college careers, whether it be formals, socials or swaps.
6. Kendra Scott Earrings
So trendy and so colorful, these earrings can be worn on game days, to formals or even as a casual day look.
7. Over Sized Ray Bans
The essential accessory- these glasses can help hide those bags under your eyes, look good in car selfies and cover up last night's makeup.
8. Lululemon Yoga Pants
Whether or not you actually go to the gym, these yoga pants are seen all around campus from dorm rooms to the rec.
9. Wrap Necklace
I don't know how these necklaces came to be, but you can find them in about 30 Instagram pictures on any given Friday night.
10. White High Top Converse
These are party shoes. I've seen them worn with dresses, shorts and most likely to a bar or frat house with a floor covered in who knows what. You'll protect your pedicure, but you might never want to pick them up again.
11. Mini Kate Spade Purse
Kate Spade bags are a status symbol, these smaller ones show that you can afford a nice bag, but you're still low-key about carrying it around.
