College campus’s are filled with young professionals trying to put their best foot forward and look calm, cool and collected to become a fashion icon among their peers. Let’s face it, wearing a pantsuit isn’t the most practical thing, especially in this Florida heat, but having a put-together look is essential. The solution? Having a minimalistic wardrobe with some personal flare, also known as adapting to the preppy lifestyle. Essentials in any preppy girl’s wardrobe should be a nice pair of tailored shorts and a structured bag which we see this Fashionista sporting with ease.
In college it is important to have a wardrobe that is transitional from class to meetings to whatever else life may throw your way. The tote featured in this look is the perfect swap for that old frumpy book bag you’ve had since freshman year of high school, without losing any of the functionality that said backpack provides.
The Fashionista pictured really nails the casual minimalistic vibe by sticking to a neutral palette and not being afraid to play with textures and accessories. From afar, this outfit might just look like plain white shorts and a black camisole but on getting a closer look we can see all the attention to detail that went into this look. From the cute little anchor buttons on the shorts to the stacked Alex and Ani bracelets this Fashionista really knows how to make a statement that’s louder than her necklace all while looking clean, classic and refined.
You never know who you may bump into while strolling the sidewalks of school, and it is important to always look your best. By the looks of it, this Fashionista doesn’t just get As in her classes but in her wardrobe as well. So, Fashionistas/os, do you think you’re ready to add some prep into your wardrobe and really make your outfit just as vital as your resume? After seeing this look, I know I am.
How To: Recreate this ensemble by starting with basic neutral pieces and then stacking a variety of bracelets or necklaces to create a look that is truly your own.
