Uni fashion and outfit ideas and tips girls

pinterest is a good place to look for fashion inspiration.

In my wardrobe, the key pieces I have for autumn/winter is
-knee high flat black boots
-white converses
-a few lightweight blouse
-thick knit jumpers
-skinny jeans- navy, blue and burgundy
-a good warm coat with leather sleeves
-flat shoes

I just interchange between those for everyday, and I feel like dressing up more I plan the outfit beforehand. Like maybe a fitted blazer, vest and printed jeans

Hi
I was the complete opposite of you! I dressed up and made an effort during 6th form but that slowly died when I got to uni. You will find that 60% of students will wear a university hoodie all the time. I had 4 of them and I lived in them in the winter with a tick coat overtop and sometimes a scarf.

Typical wardrobe for me (and ive always been fashion conscious outside of uni):

a couple of pairs of skinny jeans. If they are blue get a nice brown belt. I have one from Hollister. If they are grey or burgundy or any other dark colour I would personally go with a black belt. ( I always have a belt)

I would then stock up on vests in every colour! I wear them underneath everything for two reasons a) they keep me warm and b) they add colourful layers. Eg, a white or black vest hanging slightly lower than a burgundy jumper. or a yellow one beneath a white jumper. I always do layers. I then would have a selection of knitted jumpers- I love a burgundy one, maybe go for some chunky knit white/cream ones as well. Get yourself a couple of scarfs and a nice coat (I like camel coloured coats) and then a pair of brown boots and you have a winter wardrobe.

When the weather is nice you will find majority of the campus will be in skinnies and a tank top.

Have a look at this key pieces wardrobe. Its all interchangeable using burgundy, black, cream and camel.

Ugh, I always feel pressured into dressing nicely, is it common for people to make a proper effort at uni?
I usually just wear jeans and a jumper or a casual dress with tights.

From what i gathered, no
people are casual

I WANT tO make more of an effort though just as a personal reinforcement

95% of people look good when they're dressed casual though, I look like I slept in an alley for 3 days.

Fair enough if you're doing it for yourself, dressing up and doing my make-up properly always makes me feel good.

If you want to do it for yourself then I would definitely dress up. Maybe go for a typical outfit (jeans, vest, jumper, boots) and add some accessories. Buy a nice leather bag, a scarf, gold coloured jewellery (not chavy). Its much harder to make an effort in the winter months. When the sun is out it is much easier to dress up with summer colours and cute tops, skirts and dresses.

hi I will be starting Uni and i really want to start making an effort with what I wear.
