In a perfect world, pajamas and slippers would be totally acceptable for daily life but, sadly, we do not live in a perfect world. Here are some loopholes that will help you go to class in comfort until the day when Casual Friday is all the time. 

If a class is before noon, then it qualifies as an early morning class. And in those wee hours after the break of day the last thing that’s on anyone’s mind is, “What should I wear?” This isn’t the case every day, of course. Everyone loves to not look like a slob, sometimes, but being casual is always a great choice. There are ways to appear put together when you are actually super comfortable and that, my friends, is the secret to getting dressed in college. 

Here are the top five slob-approved, non-slob outfits.  

1.  Jeggings + graphic t-shirt + flats    

Jeggings are wonderful because they look like real clothes, even when they are as stretchy and comfortable as your favorite yoga pants. Pair them with a soft vintage-looking tee and a pair of soft leather flats and you are ready for whatever the day throws your way.      

2. Slip dress + crew neck sweater + knee-high boots     

Slip dresses are everywhere this season and they can be totally class-appropriate, while also doubling as a nightgown. Throw a casual sweater on top, though, to keep it from being too sexy. Then, add some riding-style boots and a long necklace to complete the ensemble and you’ll be the most stylish girl in Spanish 101.      

3. Cargo pants + v-neck + sneakers     

“I once saw Cady Herron wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops.” Cargo pants tend to be made out of super soft -- and stretchy -- cotton so, they are a great way to avoid wearing something too stiff. With a v-neck and some Converse, the whole outfit reads cool and unfussy. A messy topknot is the perfect ‘do for this style.     

4. Silky trousers + tank top + scarf + sandals     

A silky sweat pant with a drawstring is as close to going pantless as you can get it. A loose tank, cute bralette, a colorful scarf, and sandals are a go-to for any day of the week! Look for pairs with tapered ankles, as they look more polished.      

5. Flowy pants + ankle boots + oversized sweater     

As far as flowy pants go, there are many options on the market, right now. Your best bet? Go for a wide-legged pair with a slightly higher waist. Throw on a boyfriend-style sweater that’s a similar color to the pant. A pair of ankle boots with a slight heel are the perfect final touch.
