The school year has officially started, and it’s time to enter into the magical realm of interminable classes, bogus assignments and freezing classrooms. But hey, if we are all going to be miserable, we might as well look good doing it. For the Ladies: The season’s hottest trend: the knit hat. Not only is this trend cute, but it’s a great way to hide a bad hair day when you’re late for class.
Purple is the “it” color this season, and don’t be surprised if it bleeds into the spring season. DON’T be afraid to add some accents to your wardrobe with a purple scarf or even some purple nail polish.
DO continue to be daring with your skinny leg jeans, but keep an eye out for wide leg pants, which are sure to be a hit for this season. If any of you girls out there never really got comfortable in the skinny silhouette, the wider leg is a great alternative if you aren’t willing to be loud and proud of your not-so-skinny legs. Not only are they new and exciting, but also comfortable to wear.
The monochromatic look is back, so be a little daring and rock four different shades of blue at once. Remember girls, DON’T be a victim of the tube shape.
This season is all about fit, and a tight one at that. The snug fit is great, but DON’T suffocate yourself.
Having your fat spill over your pants is NEVER attractive, and never let anybody tell you otherwise. Muffin tops are never in.
The next fashion DON’T is courtesy of Ms. Britney Spears. Brit-Brit isn’t looking so hot these days in her booty shorts and barely there tops.
Showing a little skin is great, and usually appreciated by the guys, but revealing too much can make you look trashy.
For the Fellas: This season it all comes together with graphics: graphics on shirts, graphics on hats, graphics on everything. The fashion world has gone googly-eyed over graphics!
Additionally, just like for gals, the wider leg pant is in for men as well. Now guys can be stylish and comfortable while sitting in class in a more relaxed fit jean.
Key colors for guys are neon. Take a blasí© outfit and spice it up with a neon orange trucker hat or a hot green wristband. Also guys, DON’T rock the “Jesus sandals.” Those are the sandals with too many canvas straps and weird Moroccan zig-zag designs.
Men, for you I leave you with one more helpful hint of advice that maybe you’ve heard once or twice before. DON’T buy your clothes four sizes too big. The FAU Breezeway does not double as a runway for your Calvin Klein underwear show, and your pants should never sag that low. Make sure your pants fit you! Relaxed fit means comfortable, not enormous.
