Labor Day Weekend serves as the final stretch of time to savor boat outings with your besties, fresh tropical-themed cocktails, late-night bonfires complete with s’mores, bouquets of sunflowers, and of course, trendy summer outfits. With school officially back in session, it’s time to break out your favorite cozy collegiate crewnecks and tote bags for those early morning lectures. Plus, when you’re feeling ready to go out on the town with the gals, you can get creative and repurpose your fave seasonal pieces for wear in the new semester, too. These College Fashionista members slayed their Labor Day Weekend outfits and dropped some fabulous inspo for the summer-to-fall fashion transition.

This Denim Vest Moment
Every moment can be a great denim vest moment. Instagram user @_kaylee.nicole gets it! This piece is so iconic because it complements any end-of-summer fit and can also be layered over turtlenecks and knitwear throughout the fall and winter. It is really that versatile. If you’re looking for your own year-round denim vest option, this American Eagle one is pure perfection.
Coquette Core
Can’t get enough pink, bows, lace, florals, etc. in your life? Neither can we! User @dani.marielouise‘s pink velvet fit is a true dream. Even when the fall weather kicks in, you can rock lace tights (Anthropologie, $28) under your fave ripped jeans and skirts as well as a satin bow (Anthropologie, $16) in your hair. Bonus points if you get your own pink fan, too.
Gingham Gal
TBH, we all need more gingham in our lives. This gingham tank and denim skirt outfit from @sarahgargano29 on Instagram is so chic and elegant, yet effortlessly simple. Plus, we are so so so obsessed with the pearl bow choker.
White High Tops, Of Course
IMHO, white high tops (Converse, $75) are a year-round necessity. User @tumi_adeyoju styled these kicks with a dark-wash denim skirt, a white top, and lots of layered jewelry. Catch us adding this to our inspo board ASAP.
Denim Skirts For The Win
User @nayelizabethh gave a typical denim skirt some extra flair with this dazzling, unique asymmetrical shape paired with a jersey. It’s the perfect mix of style and comfort. I can’t wait to find my own asymmetrical denim skirt such as this GRLFRND option from REVOLVE.
Off-The-Shoulder Slay
An off-the-shoulder top such as this one rocked by user @valentinaxviveros is the most ideal summer piece. (After all, you won’t get any strap tanlines!) It levels up any outfit from casual shorts and maxi skirts to fancy linen pants. Plus, it’ll keep you cool in the late days of summer and early days of fall. Check out this off-the-shoulder light blue top from Lulus.
