This blog has everything you need to create your dream college wardrobe and effortlessly go from coffee dates with friends to those early morning classes. Whether it's game day outfits or comfy classroom styles, finding college clothing is about to get way easier.

Classroom Outfits

College classroom outfits should be comfortable, cute and versatile. With a packed schedule and lots on your to-do list, you should be reaching for easy-to-style basics that can be elevated to match the vibes. To start, search for core capsule pieces you know you’ll love all-year-round. Denim, cargo, matching sets, skorts and basic tees are all a big yes. For shoes, keep a pair of comfy ballet flats or loafers by the door to quickly bring your outfit together when you’re in a rush.

If you’re a ‘can’t leave the house without accessorizing’ kind of person, keep it minimal with staple gold jewelry or cute hair accessories, like claw clips! Grab a versatile slouchy bag to hold your school essentials and you’re ready to go.

College Game Day Outfits

Finding a cute ‘fit for game day is half the fun, right? Keep it cool and casual in basic tees in your school colors paired with anything denim, and layer with your fave bomber jacket in the cooler seasons. Plus, our latest college merch collection has styles for our UoA, UCLA, SDSU, ASU, UCSD, USD and USC fam! You can shop the latest trending designs, in your core college colors (love that for you).

These designs are perfect for more than just game day though. Doubling as an outfit for study sessions, comfy lounge days, running errands and coffee dates, you’ll be reaching for your college merch every chance you get.

Sorority Rush Outfits

Rush week kicks off with Open House Day, where you’ll meet potential sorority sisters, so keep it casual, but cute! A skirt with a timeless top or a flowy dress is a win. Day two, Philanthropy Round (or Service Day) is more laid-back, focusing on sorority initiatives, so stick to comfy shoes and your designated tee with a cute denim skirt.

On Sisterhood Day, it’s all about first impressions. This is your time to show off your personality with cute colors and prints! Preference Night is where things get a little serious; aim for a statement dress that leans formal, with heels to match the vibe. Finally, Bid Day - keep it practical with sneakers, skort, and a tee to celebrate joining your new sorority in style. Need more inspo? Here’s An Outfit For Everyday Of Rush Week!

Going Out Outfits

What to do when you’re not studying? Make party plans with your college besties, of course. If stressing about your outfit on a Friday night is a regular occurrence, it’s time to add some staple party styles to your wardrobe. Think classic LBDs with heeled boots (or kitten heels if you’re chic like that).

For extra versatility, add party tops to your collection that can be easily mixed and matched with what you already own. We’re currently obsessed with wearing low rise mini skirts with asymmetrical tops - an iconic party look!

Comfy Loungewear Outfits

Who said you can’t look cute while you’re lounging at home or in your dorm? A comfy loungewear look can completely transform your chill days. Get some much needed self care time, while still feeling and looking fresh.

Matching sets are the super easy style you can always count on. From home, to the grocery store, to the coffee shop, to back home again, these versatile styles are ultra-comfortable and still look effortlessly elevated. If you have plans to relax, read your fave book or watch your fave show, the below looks are perfect for you.

College Graduation Outfits

Firstly, congratulations! This is a major milestone, and your outfit should reflect just how special the day is. When it comes to graduation, a classic white dress is our go-to choice.

Versatile and flattering, a white midi or mini dress will effortlessly fit the formal vibe. Remember, you’ll likely also have your graduation robe and cap! We love bold colors, but for graduation, we recommend keeping it elevated and minimal.

Internship Outfits

Scored an internship? Love that for you! You’ll be needing a few outfits that balance professionalism with your own personal style. Longline tops with wide-leg jeans are a super chic but comfortable option, perfect for more laid-back office vibes.

If you need to go more formal, opt for high-neck tops with suit pants. It’s all about finding key pieces that make you feel confident, comfortable and are appropriate for the internship. Still not sure? You can comment an outfit request on any of our TikTok videos and we’ll style a look for you!

What To Wear To A College Interview

Feeling nervy for your upcoming college interview? Shake off the imposter syndrome and wear an outfit that makes you feel confident. To make a good first impression, you should aim for an outfit that’s professional but not too formal (think business casual, but with your own personal style).

An oversized blazer paired with a button down top is always a yes, especially styled with trousers and pointed toe heels. A midi dress layered with a sweater is a super safe option too.

Keep accessories minimal and save the statement party styles for later. When in doubt, reach for something you know you love and feel comfortable in.
