Unfortunately, as summer ends, so do our beach wardrobes and ocean-kissed hair. No need to be upset though, going back to school is the perfect excuse to purchase a whole new wardrobe. Whether you’ve had a summer abroad in France and have been inspired by Parisian students or been hit with the wild realization that your true style is boho-chic, not preppy, this school year can be your platform to unveil it all.
While grabbing an iced tea at The Union today, I stumbled across this Fashionista rocking the adidas trend that I love so much. This sneaker obsession has kept its grounds on the streets for a while now, but what makes it so amazing? An outfit that not only weighs in on comfort, but also passes as cute is why. She started off with leggings, which is perfect for a full day of classes. By pairing that with a flannel shirt dress, the outfit gave off a sporty-chic vibe that fit well with the adidas. The flannel’s blues and reds added a pop of color that avoided an all black base (especially in this weather). Her hijab, or headscarf, was a neutral color, beige, which kept the look cohesive. For jewelry, she chose to wear delicate bracelets and rings. These dainty pieces steer clear of overpowering an outfit that’s constructed for its simplicity. To pull it all together, she wore a unique pair of black sunglasses that gave the outfit that extra edge.
The adidas Superstar trainers have been the sneakers to purchase. I’m the type that doesn’t do well in sneakers and yet these shoes have definitely called out to me. They are the perfect addition to any Fashionista/o’s wardrobe and can be dressed up or down, as this Fashionista has so clearly pulled off.
How To: You can wear these sneakers in all kinds of ways. For a casual, relaxed look, throw on leggings and a band T-shirt. If you’re feeling bold, pair them with a flirty T-shirt dress!
