The life of a college student is consistent chaos.
Class, work, interning, participating in on-campus organizations and maintaining a social life are part of our everyday routines.
It’s easy to mope through multiple daily activities with your favorite pair of pajama pants and an oversized hoodie, but fellow Falcons prove that fashionable day looks are easy to put together.
8:00 a.m. lectures may be the last place you’re looking to show off your style, but individualized business student Kali Mizen wears a classroom-chic ensemble.
Mizen wears a layered Buckle top and vest, GUESS skinny jeans, ALDO combat boots and a Coach side satchel bag.
She chose her outfit because it was casual, stylish and
comfortable.
“You obviously want to be comfortable for class, but you can do that with cute clothes to avoid looking like a bum,” she said.
Mizen suggests students browse TJ Maxx and Maurice’s to find affordable
classroom wear.
After exercising brain muscles, students like Hannah Geiger head to the rec center to break a sweat in between classes.
Her athletic wear features a Kohl’s dry fit black V-neck, a matching headband, Nike running shoes and purple patterned tights.
Geiger, an employee at Kohls, buys her workout apparel from the department store because they have a wide selection of affordable name
brand products.
“I like a lot of fun patterns [and] colors,” she said. “It’s always cheaper than going to Dick’s or similar sporting
goods stores.”
Sporting stylish clothes at the gym is always fun, but for students involved in professional on-campus organizations, fashion forward clothing is crucial.
Trenice Foster, telecommunications major, wears neutral business attire on her way to the Telecommunications Student Association
career day.
She wears a Michael Kors ivory blazer, J.Crew top, T.J. Maxx chinos and ALDO heels.
Foster agrees that professional ensembles are an important part of students’ wardrobes for presentations, organizations, and post-grad job interviews.
“I definitely suggest blazers, pencil skirts and a good pair of pointed heels,” she said. “I like color and neutrals … it’s all about who you are.”
Foster finds her favorite office appropriate trends at Nordstrom Rack and Forever21.
After attending class, hitting the gym and nailing an internship interview, it’s important for students to find time to relax.
Kolbie Carver, graphic design major, says that casual wear is all
about comfort.
“I find a lot of good stuff at JC Penny, Hot Topic and H&M,” he said.
Carver wears an Arizona brand plaid and Hot Topic fitted jeans.
Stylish students prove that looking fashion forward is easy and enjoyable for a variety of daily activities.
