Cute on Campus: A Syllabus of Outfits

Cute on Campus: A Syllabus of Outfits

Campus dressing is comfortable first and cute second. Hoodies, jeans, light jackets and a bag that holds a laptop. This edit is the school-day wardrobe that works from morning to night.

What to wear to class

A day on campus involves walking, sitting and sometimes running. The clothes have to be comfortable and still look good in the lecture hall.

More tops

Sweatshirts and crewnecks are the cozy base of the look. Tops do the quiet work in an edit like this, changing an outfit more than they seem to.

Trousers and shorts

Jeans and relaxed trousers survive any schedule. The bottom half decides the proportion, so these are worth choosing carefully.

Knitwear

Light jackets handle the changing temperatures between classes. Knits bring the cold-weather texture that the season needs.

Jackets

A good bag and sneakers carry the whole day. A good layer is what turns a simple outfit into a complete one.

Denim

Sweatshirts and crewnecks are the cozy base of the look. Denim anchors the rest of the outfit, and the cut matters more than the wash.

Shoes

Jeans and relaxed trousers survive any schedule. Shoes decide whether the outfit reads dressy or casual.

Accessories

Light jackets handle the changing temperatures between classes. Accessories are the quickest, lightest way to join the trend.

Bags

A good bag and sneakers carry the whole day. A bag is the accent, and it is where the outfit gets a bit of personality.

Skirts

Sweatshirts and crewnecks are the cozy base of the look. Skirts are the easiest way to change the mood of a plain top.

Mini dresses

Jeans and relaxed trousers survive any schedule. Dresses are the fastest way into the trend, since one piece is the whole outfit.

Dresses

Light jackets handle the changing temperatures between classes. Here the dresses come in every length and cut, so the look is easy to match to an occasion.

Jewelry

A good bag and sneakers carry the whole day. Jewelry is the small detail that makes an outfit feel considered.
