The College Edit: Curated Looks for Campus Life

College is your time to define your personal style. We’ve created a guide to dressing for every occasion on your schedule, taking the guesswork out of your morning routine so you can focus on making an impression with our versatile college outfits.

First Day Outfits

For a casual and approachable first-day look, you can’t go wrong with timeless pieces. Pair relaxed, straight-leg jeans with a classic bodysuit or a fun graphic tee. For warmer fall semester weather, a cute mini dress styled with comfy sneakers is an effortless choice that feels both put-together and ready for a day of exploring campus.

For a slightly more elevated first impression, pair tailored pants with a simple knit top. This combination strikes a stylish balance between smart and casual, ensuring you feel confident from your first lecture to your last seminar.

Everyday Class Looks

Spending long days on campus means building a rotation of easy-to-wear outfits is essential. Explore our range of affordable back to school outfits and under-$50 essentials to build your semester capsule wardrobe without breaking the bank. Smart-casual college outfits are ideal for tutorials or study groups. Try pairing an oversized blazer with a simple crop top and denim. Lightweight knits and layering pieces will be invaluable for those notoriously cold lecture halls.

Study Session & Library Looks

Late nights in the library call for outfits that prioritize study-day comfort:

• Oversized tees – cozy and versatile for long sessions

• Matching loungewear – effortless, coordinated style

• Comfy shorts – easy to mix and match
  
  

This low-effort, comfy style ensures you feel good while you’re working hard.

Internship & Placement Style

Nail your internship with polished, business-casual looks that boost confidence. Pair tailored pants with an elegant blouse or a simple ruched top, and layer with a structured blazer for a professional yet fashion-forward finish.

Campus Socials & Welcome Week / Rush Week Parties

Your social calendar is about to get busy. From orientation events to weekend parties, create memorable class-to-party outfits:

• Bold corset top + denim jeans – make a statement

• Playful matching set + strapless top – instant head-turning look

•  Accessorize with statement crossbody bags or chunky sneakers.

The High School Edit: Polished & Dress Code-Approved

Navigating a school dress code doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Our edit of uniform-friendly clothes and high school outfits is designed to be both appropriate and on-trend, ideal for your senior year or upperclassman style. Build your look around versatile basics like classic pants and simple tees. Layer with stylish cardigans and approved blazers, and complete your look with a sturdy, stylish backpack.
