Back to School Fashion Checklist:

▢ college sweatshirt
▢ comfy sweat set
▢ tote bag

▢ Hoka shoes
▢ corset top

▢ oversized blazer
▢ statement clothing item

COLLEGE SWEATSHIRT

Get excited for the new school year ahead by picking up a college sweatshirt. Not only will this be one of your comfiest clothing items but it is also always good to have college gear to wear to football games and school events.

COMFY SWEAT SET

Not all of us are cut out for 8am classes. If you are not a morning person and tend to roll out of bed ten minutes before you need to leave, a comfy sweat set is a must. Athleisure is very stylish at the moment, and a matching set gives off the illusion of put togetherness. Also, who doesn’t want to be comfy when sitting through a lecture?

TOTE BAG

Hot people use tote bags; that’s just a fact. Ditch the clunky backpack for a trendy tote. Everywhere, from Etsy to Amazon, carries cool totes with unique designs. Be sure to find a bag with strong handles, however, to sustain the weight of a textbook.

HOKA SHOES

The “it” shoes this year seem to be Hoka tennis shoes. This brand is known for creating shoes with extra cushioning and support. Hokas are perfect for walking from class to class, roaming around campus, or evening going for a run!

CORSET TOP

This next must-have item is pretty obvious- a corset top. This style of top is having a moment, with corsets flying off the shelves at stores like Urban Outfitters and Zara. When going to a party, bar, or even club, corset tops are always a great fashion choice.

OVERSIZED BLAZER

An oversized blazer is a must-have due to its versatility. Pair an oversized blazer with jeans and some gold hoops to create a Hailey Bieber-inspired outfit. Add some heels to create the perfect class presentation outfit. Blazers also make for great jackets during that transitional fall period when the air becomes crisp and cold.

STATEMENT CLOTHING ITEM

It is always nice to wear a conversation starter piece on your first day of class to break the ice. Purchase a clothing item that is unique, funny, very chic, or bold to spark a conversation. This could be a graphic tee with a fun phrase on it, a colorful knit sweater, Harry Styles merch, you name it!
