The semester is finally over and if there’s one phrase no college student wants to hear, it’s “summer school.” Unfortunately for some of us, taking a class during this sunny time of year is inevitable. So if you find yourself stuck on campus, you might as well make the best of it. Every style-loving scholar should think of this as the perfect opportunity to show off that newly acquired pre-autumn wardrobe.
Let’s face it, although we might want to be our most fashionable selves during this time, the summer heat will definitely be there reminding us to keep it simple. Instead of opting for your usual university attire, try going for thinner fabrics and lighter colors; just like this handsome Fashionisto chose to do. His preppy but casual choices are perfect for transitioning between school and classic fun under the sun. Today, the trendy fellow you see above is sporting a checkered button-down Zara shirt and some rolled-up white shorts from American Eagle Outfitters. He enhanced the look with a vintage silver Casio watch and a pair of Quay Australia sunglasses. This classic Casio shape has successfully worked its way back to the list of latest watch trends.
A shawl-collar cardigan is ideal for those fridge-simulating classrooms we all dread but always seem to encounter. The shorts add a fun and youthful quality this ensemble needs so as to avoid looking overly mature. Let’s not forget the one accessory university-goers can’t live without: a backpack. This Herschel bag, being equally stylish and practical, is the perfect finishing touch on this outfit. Finally, adding a neutral canvas shoe into the mix makes up a great summertime college look. A similar attire would make any Fashionisto look flawless while taking those long cross-campus walks, under heavy daylight, that every student knows so well. Let’s all learn from this fashion-devoted youngster who definitely knows how to do go-to college-wear right!
One Simple Change: When you’re ready to ditch the books, lose the cardigan and try switching the sneakers for some nice leather flip flops in order to portray a more effortless, vacation appropriate look. You’ll be set for a stroll along the French Riviera in no time! Or maybe just a trip to the nearest beach; but hey… a Style Guru can dream!
