Think that just because the semester is over you have to store away all your college spirit apparel? Think again! College attire allows you to personalize every outfit instantly and rock your school pride without saying a word. This Fashionista proves that you can still rock your school spirit in the summer, even if you’re not on campus!
Breaking out your school apparel on your home turf is a great way to show off your pride while also making an individual statement, as no one else is likely to be wearing the same outfit as you. Collegiate-style sweatshirts have been all the rage recently, as seen by Beyoncé’s famous Kale sweatshirt and the “COLLEGE” sweatshirt made famous by Animal House, which are both great options for Fashionistas who don’t have access to college apparel. So why not rock your sweatshirts year round? It’s easy to make school-store apparel fashionable with a few personal touches.
This Fashionista rocks her Syracuse sweatshirt with a acid wash chambray button down underneath, high-waisted shorts over black tights and combat style boots. She accessorizes the outfit with a cute statement necklace with a horse charm. While this might not seem like the most summery outfit, the Northeast hasn’t had the warmest winter and layers help you prepare for the temperature fluctuations throughout the day. Tights under shorts help keep this outfit summery while still providing the extra warmth needed on this somewhat chilly May day. Live in a hotter environment? Switch out the sweatshirt for a school tank top or T-shirt and accessorize the outfit with a statement necklace or bright makeup!
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Style is about you and your evolution as an individual. For me, I follow a few rules: Black fabric, gold jewelry; don’t wear a band’s graphic T-shirt if you can’t summarize their history and finally, even if your supposedly stylista friend is telling you not to wear the shoes, do it anyway.”
