Picture this: you\u2019ve made it to college, got a great friend group, classes are going alright\u2026 but you have no idea how to dress. Sound familiar? Learning how to find a fashion style that suits you is tough, especially in an environment full of people who can pull off any outfit, but it\u2019s not impossible. So without further ado, let\u2019s get into some fashion advice!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Pinterest is to fashion like what ChatGPT is to your homework assignment: necessary.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Pinterest boards are literally your best friends. Although it\u2019s often overlooked, inspiration is something so incredibly important in the world of developing your own style. Take some time to dedicate your doom-scrolling on social media to look at outfit inspiration (granted that TikTok doesn\u2019t get banned again). Whether you\u2019re into streetwear, Y2K, or minimalist outfits, social media is a great place to sort it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Nobody\u2019s looking, don\u2019t be afraid to try something new.<\/b><\/p>\n

The great thing about college is that everyone is so busy going through their own problems, that no one has time to judge what you wear. Believe me, no one\u2019s thinking about that terrible fashion decision you made in your freshman year (besides you). Be bold and wear what you like, even if you\u2019re afraid someone\u2019s judging you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Out with the new, in with the old. (oh wait, is that right?)<\/b><\/p>\n

New fashion trends become viral every single day (like Alix Earle with skinny jeans), but that doesn\u2019t mean you need to replace your entire closet to keep up. Yes, retail therapy can be a comfort at times, but supporting fast fashion isn\u2019t going to last you in the long run. Instead, avoid impulse buying and upgrade your existing wardrobe by learning how to style outfits. Saves you money, reduces waste, forces you to experiment with styling\u2026what\u2019s not to like? P.S. you would not believe the amount of outfits I\u2019ve pulled off with my dad\u2019s old leather jacket.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Styling is NOT the same as wearing.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking of styling, trust me when I say there\u2019s a difference between actively styling your clothes and just wearing them. Tuck in that oversized tee, add a belt, or throw on some layered jewelry. Experiment with different silhouettes until you figure out what looks best on you!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Dressing up is just like working out, you gotta have some rest days.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Even the most fashion-conscious people show up to class in a hoodie and sweatpants. Some days you\u2019ll want to create the most perfect outfit, and other days you\u2019ll want to just throw on the first thing you see in your closet. And especially in the Boston cold, some outfits just don\u2019t go with the snow and wind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the end of the day, finding your personal fashion style is reliant on what you love. Don\u2019t be afraid to take risks, and remember that you learn more from your failures than your successes!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
