I’ve always been a believer in the power of a good outfit to make you look and feel complete. And that goes double for college life.
Not only are the best outfits functional for long days on campus, but they’re “front and center” in giving your look a finishing touch.
The start of a new semester calls for easy and stylish outfits, so I’ve rounded up some ideas to inspire you…

Just throw on a cozy oversized sweater, your favorite jeans, and some UGGs. It’s an effortlessly cool look.

A simple black maxi dress paired with sneakers and an oversized denim jacket creates such a laid back and cool vibe. If the weather is sunny, you could also swap the sneakers for some cute strappy sandals.

Cold days can sometimes mean gray skies and a lot of monochrome outfits. Why not add a pop of color with a bright long coat like this one?
