Boring outfit? No thanks! After scrolling through page after page of street style from New York Fashion Week, it’s easy to feel inspired to mix up your wardrobe. But if you’re anything like me, you’ve found that creating a one-of-a-kind outfit isn’t as easy as the blogging stars on your computer screen make it seem. This Fashionista shows us how to have that NYFW-worthy look that is still perfect for hitting the books.
Sticking to the classic jeans and T-shirt combo makes this look perfect for everyday wear, but it’s the little details in this Fashionista’s look that make it special. Great street style really is all in the details!
The first step to achieving great street style is to start with the basics. Pair together staple pieces with interesting details. This Fashionista opted for a comfy graphic T-shirt and frayed white jeans. The fun fray hem adds a fashion forward touch. Adding an oversize denim jacket in a cool acid wash plays on the denim on denim trend.
Adding a funky bag to your outfit is an easy way to have something both practical and unique. Instead of opting for a boring backpack, throw your books in a fun tote or messenger bag that adds a pop of color to your outfit. This Fashionista picked hers up at Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Scour local markets and boutiques for pieces that are one-of-a-kind.
Top the outfit off with great accessories and eye-catching shoes to really turn heads. This Fashionista stuck to metallic accessories like this chain belt and heart necklace. Fun chokers or layered necklaces are perfect for adding a special touch. Sneakers are an essential part of great street style. This Fashionista said that her key to a great wardrobe was “at least five pairs of cool sneakers.” Her bright orange Converse add a colorful touch yet are perfect for trekking across campus. Bonus style points if you wrap the laces around your ankle.
Fashion week-worthy street style isn’t reserved for fashion bloggers and celebrities only. With attention to detail and a just go with it attitude, your street style can be campus ready.
