College life is overwhelming, to say the least. You don’t just have to worry about getting to class in time or writing that paper that’s due next week, but also about living expenses, student debt, social life, and even fashion. In such a hassle, even the things that most students really enjoy, which is putting together great outfits, can be a burden.

You’ll probably hear about and try out many fashion tricks. You might even choose to study design in one of the best fashion schools in the world. Regardless, time barriers and stress will often prevent you in spending much time on planning your outfits, which is why you need some simple recommendations that will minimize the time spent on fashion.
That being said, I have here four excellent recommendations for student fashion. Enjoy!

1. Fill Up Your Closet with Dresses

Girls have it easier than boys. While boys have to combine different pieces of clothing, girls can only put on a dress and they are entirely dressed. To be more, they have dresses for every occasion. Whether it’s a cosy and comfortable dress to wear in the hot weather and around campus, or a small black, sexy dress to wear at parties – dresses make your worries go away.

If you are a girl, stock your closet with dresses for different occasions. This is the single piece of clothing that will cover you whole and very often, will cost the same as a single top or jeans. This makes it cost-effective, but also excellent for those lazy days where you want to feel relaxed in your clothes. No tight jeans or leggings, bulky blouses or tight tops. All it takes is a minute to get your dress on, and you can go through your busy day without worries.

When you buy your dresses, buy smart. Think of colours and combinations. You won’t have to wear other pieces of clothing, but you’ll have to combine them with shoes and accessories. And of course, be mindful about the length that’s appropriate to wear in classes.

2. If You Love a Thing, Buy More of It

A single item that looks amazing on you or goes with everything, plus is nicely priced, is a gem in design. When you find such a piece, don’t be afraid to buy it in different colours or designs. The same type of dress, blouse, or jeans can look entirely different when in a different colour, and since it’s often hard to find really good items that you love, don’t hesitate to get more of it.

Of course, if you ever get bored of the design or the items, you can always repurpose them. Take some time off your homework and coursework, maybe try Edubirdie, an Australian writing service when you need a break and someone to write for you. Then, get onto a DIY project for the clothes you no longer favor.

3. Get Neutral Clothes to Stay on Budget

If you’re struggling with a tight budget, which most students do, you don’t have to spend a fortune to get dressed. You don’t need a closet full of clothes to be trendy. As a matter of fact, you could have an endless choice of clothes and still not be well-dressed.

When it comes to getting dressed, it is all about the combination. I’m talking about a combination of colors and materials, types of clothing, and accessories.
So, if you want to save money, get clothes in neutral colors. If you get them in a neutral colour, you can combine them with almost everything you have in your closet.

4. Mix and Match Patterns

Some people are simply natural at pattern mixing, so why not give it a try? This is the perfect time to experiment with your fashion style. Don’t shy away from using patterns in combinations with your neutrals, or even in combination with other patterns. You never know what works well unless you try it on!
Conclusion

College is the time when you meet independence, probably for the very first time. This is the time to find out who you are and what you like. It’s the time to build your skills and find your favorite things in life. But, it’s also the time to pick your fashion preferences and find out who you are, fashion-wise. This is why you need to open your mind and experiment.
