It is that time of year again—summer! This means vast amounts of traveling, hanging out with friends, or even just chilling on a warm day. For many college students, this also means studying abroad. Studying abroad is the perfect time to try out new trends and maybe even find new styles that you want to bring back to the states. There are certain trends that will allow you to fit right in while abroad.
It is very stressful packing for a summer abroad—trust me, I know. You always want to bring your best clothing, which can then lead to over-packing. Plus you have to take into consideration everything you will buy over there. However, one staple piece is denim. Everyone has to own something denim. Whether it is a jacket, shorts, jeans, anything! Denim is so popular everywhere right now, thus making it an essential item on your packing list!
The main trend with denim right now is pairing denim with denim, for example, denim shorts or jeans with a denim jacket. This is so easy to style with your favorite graphic T-shirt or crop top and maybe a statement necklace, a simple choker, or in this case, a bandana. Also, you must include a cute pair or street shoes. This outfit is perfect for walking around in any European country (or wherever you may be studying abroad) and it will definitely help you fit right in with the locals. No matter what the temperature is, always be prepared. Shown draped over this Fashionista, the denim jacket will always be at hand just in case the local café gets cool, or the classroom’s air conditioning decides to work.
A great tip to remember when wearing denim, top or bottom, is that the colors do not need to match!
