I tried +rep'ing you, but I've used my daily amount; please remind me to do it tomorrow 
I love your outfit choices, they're amazing. I wish people would dress up more for University; I hate when people just rock up in sweatpants and trainers.

To be honest, it'll be like quarter-to-six in the morning when I get out of my bed, so I probably won't be awake until I get on the bus at quarter-to-seven.
Considering that, I'm crossing my fingers that my shoes are from the same pair and whatever shirt I'm wearing isn't inside out.

Skinny jeans and loose tops and shoe boots will be my everyday uni uniform
Nice + Simple
JUST like this :
My group of friends always got dressed up like this daily for college. I hope uni is the same.

I'm thinking: Blazer, polo, chinos and loafers.
Yes, I'm a bit Preppy
You should wear whatever you're comfortable in (cliche, I know), but I would suggest also trying to make an impression, too. I believe in Power Dressing, so dressing for lectures and seminars as though you're going to go in and sweep the floor with everyone with your knowledge and sartorial flair

I think I love you.
I'm having this problem too. Do I look hot and androgenous in jeans, a white t-shirt, waistcoat and trilby or fun and feminine in a wonderful dress and bright tights...?

Why, urm, thank you
Your opinion seems to be in the minority, though; I just got negged about six times for saying what you quoted. I would, personally, feel embarrassed if I turned up to a lecture or seminar in loungewear in front of Professors and Doctors of their subjects; I find it so disrespectful.Well, how do you want people to first perceive you? That plays a large part. I'm wearing a red blazer, red trousers, white t-shirt (plain) and beige loafers with a canvas bag with a Royal Blue faux-crocodile skin trim. I want to come across as clean and that I mean business with regard to my education.
Do you have any pictures of the possible outfits?
Feel free to PM me them if you don't want a thousand neg-reps a minute 
Massive LOL at being neg-repped just for thinking that sweatpants and trainers are unsuitable for addressing a University professor. There's nothing wrong with showing a bit of class and character in your attire

Skinny jeans and a random top. People always make a huge effort - wearing things 3 X too small for them or mini skirts when it's freezing...and then you see their looks going downhill within months.
I shall start how I mean to go on - whatever I find first!
Haha

They honestly won't give a ****. I'm sure they'd rather a student turn up to seminars in jogging bottoms and really engage in the subject, than spend more time thinking about their outfit and slagging people off for their choices of clothing.

Feel free to PM me them if you don't want a thousand neg-reps a minute There are too many possible outfits. Oh how much easier it was when I didn't care...
And I have no idea how I want people to perceive me. Life is far too difficult.

I hate to disagree Philbert however LukeGrant has a strong point here, it really depends on the type of person you are and your personal preferences. It appears LukeGrant is hoping to become a writer and specialise in more upmarket fashion, because of this in his career, first impressions will mean everything for him, he can't expect to walk into the Conde Naste office looking scruffy, making connections for him will start from the first day he starts university and the professors , guest lecturers and people he meets along the way will be potential connections for him once he is done. As someone who hopes to one day work in fashion journalism it is very important for him to have a strong and unique image now and maintain a high level of immaculate dressing.
I see absolutely nothing wrong or different in the person who wishes to wear sweatpants to a lecture and the person who wears a blazer and a polo.
What if he doesn't own trainers ? and simply prefers loafers, is he meant to go and buy some simply to fit in with the people who will be sitting along side him in lectures.
I have dressed up and taken joy in my outfits since age 15, I'm not going to begin dressing down or become a more casual version of myself simply to fit in with everyone else.

That's the most mature comment I've read all day. It's true, though; people are being so contrary and hypocritical by disrespecting us for wanting to dress with flair, whilst we merely mention that, for us, dressing in loungewear would be abhorrent. Of course, I don't expect every student to be a Preppy advocate, just that, perhaps, jeans and a shirt/polo wouldn't really go amiss.

... ?
So turning up to a single seminar or lecture looking a bit scruffy is going to destroy his future career? He said that he though that sort of clothing was unsuitable for university. I simply made the point that no university academic is going to care what you wear as long as they're being paid.
If you see nothing wrong about it, then why are you making such a big deal about it? You seem to be under the impression that you are expected to wear sweatpants and trainers to university
Can you point out the part of my post where I said anyone should wear jogging bottoms or tariners to "fit in" with anyone. Wear whatever the hell you like, just don't slag everyone else off for "dressing down". Christ almighty.
