Coachella is coming our way this week, setting the stage for the spring and summer festival season. If you need some help planning your outfits, Pinterest shared their list of trend predictions that includes everything from nostalgic “freestyle fits” to glam “main pop girl” aesthetic.

Dark Vibes

Several trends on Pinterest’s list are all about putting a dreamy twist on hardcore outfits. “Dark ethereal” has been described as “dark angel meets forest fairy”, and it’s all about wearing flowing silhouettes, sheer-on-sheer clothes, and lace. “Stereo punk” is rooted in hardcore culture, and you can embrace this trend by wearing leather, plaid skirts, and chain belts.

Throwback Time

Many of the top trends of this year’s festival season will be rooted in nostalgia. “Freestyle fits” are inspired by the Y2K hip-hop and R&B culture, while “twee aesthetic” is all about reimagining your fave indie playlist as an outfit by wearing ruffle skirts, Peter Pan collars, and retro clothes.

Pop & Country

Not all the fashion trends on Pinterest’s list are leaning into nostalgia and darkness. “Main pop girl” craze is all about putting a glam twist on your outfits and drawing inspiration from your favorite pop stars. “Urban wrangler” also made the cut and it’s rooted in the country-themed rodeo aesthetic that’s been ruling Coachella and other music festivals for years.

New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and if you still haven’t started planning your outfit—the clock is ticking. Whether you’re going to one of the campus parties or planning a low-key get-together with friends, we’re here to help you plan a chic and cozy outfit that fits into your student budget.

Use What You Have

There’s no need to buy any new clothes if you already have an outfit that you could wear. Even though the idea of having a new outfit for every occasion is constantly pushed by social media, it’s totally ok to repeat outfits, especially if you already have cute clothes that fit the occasion perfectly.

Sales & Discounts

If you feel like treating yourself just in time for New Year’s Eve, buying new clothes is always an option, but you should know where to look. If your budget is extremely limited, explore stores with affordable prices, and always go through the sale rack because you might be struck gold when you least expect it.

Explore Thrift Stores

Thrift stores are a godsend in times like this, and you should definitely visit a few when looking for your New Year’s Eve outfit. They offer unique clothes you can’t find anywhere else for a portion of the price, and party clothes you find there will usually be gently used because people don’t have a habit of constantly re-wearing them.

The arrival of a new season usually means that you’ll have to upgrade your wardrobe, but this doesn’t come cheap. Luckily, there are ways to refresh your wardrobe without spending a fortune, and these five are a good place to start. 

Don’t Buy What You Have

Refreshing your fall wardrobe is not a must if you already have everything you need. Before buying anything new, take some time to go through your closet and assess the clothes you already have to avoid unnecessary purchases.

Consider Thrifting

Thrift shopping is great for both the environment and your wallet, so consider hitting local second-hand stores before going anywhere else. Try to find gently used fall essentials at an affordable price instead of buying new ones.

Versatile Pieces

When shopping for new clothes, try to focus on versatile pieces that you can easily mix and match with different outfits.

Look For Discounts

Certain items that you’ll need for fall, such as boots and coats, will come with a high price tag, so put some effort into looking for sales and discounts so you won’t spend a fortune.

Smart Accessorizing

Even if you don’t have too many clothes, using accessories strategically goes a long way, since a statement belt, scarf, or handbag can make every outfit seem fresh.

Strolling through campus as the autumn air sets in means it’s time to step up your shoe game. This season, it’s all about marrying comfort with style, ensuring you can make it to your 8 a.m. class and still look fresh for your afternoon coffee run. Here are the top three shoe trends to look into.

Comfortable Running Shoes: Hokas

Hoka running shoes are perfect for students who are always on the move. The chunky design and vibrant color options make them a trendy choice, while the thick cushioning provides all-day comfort, which is ideal for navigating large campuses.

Versatile Clogs: Birkenstock Bostons

The Birkenstock Boston clogs have emerged as a popular footwear choice. These shoes are easy to slip on and off, making them perfect for dorm living. With their durable design and comfortable fit, Bostons can be worn with socks for a cozy fall vibe or styled with jeans for a more put-together look. 

Timeless Classics: Converse

Converse sneakers remain a staple on college campuses for good reasons. They are versatile, stylish, and suitable for various occasions, from classroom settings to casual outings. Easy to pair with anything from casual dresses to athletic wear, Converse are a truly classic choice.

Hitting the gym doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style for function. Whether you’re powering through a cardio session or lifting weights, your hair should complement your workout, not complicate it. Here are some cute and hassle-free hairstyles that will keep your locks secure and out of your face.

The Braided Bun

The braided bun is a stylish and practical choice for the gym. Start with a basic braid and then twist it into a bun at the nape of your neck or at the back of your crown. Secure it with bobby pins or a thick hair tie. This hairstyle keeps your hair tightly in place.

The Bubble Ponytail

For a playful twist on the traditional ponytail, try the bubble ponytail. Pull your hair back into a high ponytail, then add elastic bands every two to three inches down the length of your ponytail, fluffing out each section to create “bubbles.” An energetic and fun look!

Boxer Braids

This style involves creating two tight Dutch braids that start at the front and go all the way down to the nape of the neck. They’re ideal for keeping your hair out of your face and neck, and they work well under a cap or hat if you’re running outdoors.

Got some cool stuff to declutter and want to make some cash? Hosting a second-hand sale in your apartment is a fun way to recycle your pre-loved items and make room for new finds. Here’s how to throw a killer thrift event that your friends will talk about for months later.

Social Media Hype

Create an event on social media and invite your friends, classmates, and neighbors. Use catchy graphics and hashtags to get everyone excited. The more, the merrier.

Organization

Sort your items into categories like clothes, accessories, books, and gadgets. Clear, labeled sections make it easier for shoppers to find their way around.

Playlist

Create a playlist to keep the mood upbeat. Good tunes can make your sale feel like a fun hangout rather than just a shopping event.

Refreshments

Set out some snacks and drinks. Finger foods, soda, or even a DIY lemonade stand are great options. It keeps people hanging around longer and creates a feel-good atmosphere.

Pricing

Keep your prices fair and consider the option of bundling items for a discount. Everyone loves a good deal, and this will help you get rid of more stuff.

The Fun Factor

Home sales can get somewhat chaotic, with plenty of friends-of-friends you’ve never met. Embrace it and have fun! Chat with shoppers, make new friends, and sharpen your hosting skills.

As you head off to college, it’s important to remember that first impressions last. As a result, it’s crucial to ensure that you are dressed to impress. Here is some of the clothing you should probably not wear in college, at least when you first arrive.

In Class

When headed to the lecture hall, it’s important to show that you’re ready to learn but still have some personality. Avoid wearing baggy clothes and things that look like pajamas or sloppy clothes for use around the house. At the same time, avoid dressing too fancy, in suits or smart blazers.

At Parties

Although you probably want to let loose at parties, it’s important to remember that the people you see there are some of the same folks you’ll see in class. While you can certainly wear some daring or revealing clothing, make sure that it is nothing too extreme. Also, if it happens to be winter, consider wearing an old frat jacket that you don’t mind getting drinks spilt on.

Clothing To Avoid At All Costs

If you love wearing sunglasses, make sure not to wear them indoors or at night as this makes little sense. Also, skinny jeans and clothes that are too tight may prove uncomfortable as you sit in lectures and walk around campus.

You won’t have an abundance of closet space at your disposal when living in a college dorm, so it’s crucial to use it wisely. Certain items are best left behind because they’re just creating unnecessary clutter, and that happens to be the case with these five.

Formal Attire

It’s highly unlikely you’ll wear too many formal dresses or suits during your college years, so it’s best to only take them with you when you really need them or stick to one for emergencies.

Off-Season Clothing

You should rotate your closet as seasons change, and take off-season clothing home during the holidays or store them in vacuum-sealed bags if you’re staying in the dorm all year long.

Unnecessary Shoes

There’s no need to bring your entire shoe collection to your dorm because you’ll probably end up wearing a few of the most comfortable and versatile pairs.

Rarely Worn Items

If you’re tempted to take an item you only wear once or twice a year with you, it’s best to leave it at home, because it’s unlikely you’ll suddenly start wearing it on a regular basis.

Sentimental Pieces

If you have any items that hold sentimental value in your closet, it’s best to leave them at home. You won’t wear them anyway, and they’ll still be waiting for you once you come back.

Remember how exciting it was to pick out your outfit for the first day of school each year? Dressing for your first job or internship brings back that same thrill—and maybe a bit of that nervousness, too. You want to fit in, stand out (in a good way!), and above all, feel confident. Let’s dive into some tips that will help you assemble the perfect work wardrobe.

Choose the Right Fit

A good fit is key to looking professional. Clothes that are too tight or too loose can be unflattering and uncomfortable, which can distract you and others throughout the day. Focus on pieces that are both comfortable and well-fitting. 

Opt for Neutral Colors

While pops of color can be great for personal style, neutral colors are a safer choice for professional settings. They are easier to mix and match, which can extend your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Black, navy, gray, and beige are versatile and can be paired with almost anything. 

Pay Attention to Details

The little things can make a big difference in how polished your overall look appears. Make sure your clothes are ironed and free of stains and pet hairs. It’s a small effort that goes a long way in maintaining professionalism.

For a few years now, some of the world’s most famous fashion houses have been experimenting with gender-fluid styles. Whether it’s putting male models in stunning midi skirts or styling womenswear catwalks with masculine tailored suits, boundaries have certainly been blurred across some of the most prestigious and influential fashion shows. Now, gender-fluid style is infiltrating the mainstream – check out three of these super on-trend looks which couldn’t be cooler.

Masculine Mesh

For decades, mesh fabric has been seen as something that belonged in the world of female fashion, but over recent years high-end fashion houses have used it to craft stunning pieces for men. Whether you style your mesh tank as a single layer, or wear it alongside other pieces to create a detailed look, it’s a sure-fire style winner.

Suits You

In women’s fashion, masculine style suits are increasingly being seen as a modern, contemporary take on the tailored look. There’s always the option to belt your blazer jacket if you’re feeling slightly swamped in an oversized style.

Flower Power

For a long time, floral patterns have been associated with women’s spring season dresses and skirts. This year, men’s shirts are being adorned with florals of all forms, to create some stunning wedding-guest ready looks.

When headed to the lecture hall, it’s important to show that you’re ready to learn but still have some personality. Avoid wearing baggy clothes and things that look like pajamas or sloppy clothes for use around the house. At the same time, avoid dressing too fancy, in suits or smart blazers.

At Parties

Although you probably want to let loose at parties, it’s important to remember that the people you see there are some of the same folks you’ll see in class. While you can certainly wear some daring or revealing clothing, make sure that it is nothing too extreme. Also, if it happens to be winter, consider wearing an old frat jacket that you don’t mind getting drinks spilt on.

Clothing To Avoid At All Costs

If you love wearing sunglasses, make sure not to wear them indoors or at night as this makes little sense. Also, skinny jeans and clothes that are too tight may prove uncomfortable as you sit in lectures and walk around campus.

You won’t have an abundance of closet space at your disposal when living in a college dorm, so it’s crucial to use it wisely. Certain items are best left behind because they’re just creating unnecessary clutter, and that happens to be the case with these five.

Formal Attire

It’s highly unlikely you’ll wear too many formal dresses or suits during your college years, so it’s best to only take them with you when you really need them or stick to one for emergencies.

Off-Season Clothing

You should rotate your closet as seasons change, and take off-season clothing home during the holidays or store them in vacuum-sealed bags if you’re staying in the dorm all year long.

Unnecessary Shoes

There’s no need to bring your entire shoe collection to your dorm because you’ll probably end up wearing a few of the most comfortable and versatile pairs.

Rarely Worn Items

If you’re tempted to take an item you only wear once or twice a year with you, it’s best to leave it at home, because it’s unlikely you’ll suddenly start wearing it on a regular basis.

Sentimental Pieces

If you have any items that hold sentimental value in your closet, it’s best to leave them at home. You won’t wear them anyway, and they’ll still be waiting for you once you come back.

Remember how exciting it was to pick out your outfit for the first day of school each year? Dressing for your first job or internship brings back that same thrill—and maybe a bit of that nervousness, too. You want to fit in, stand out (in a good way!), and above all, feel confident. Let’s dive into some tips that will help you assemble the perfect work wardrobe.

Choose the Right Fit

A good fit is key to looking professional. Clothes that are too tight or too loose can be unflattering and uncomfortable, which can distract you and others throughout the day. Focus on pieces that are both comfortable and well-fitting. 

Opt for Neutral Colors

While pops of color can be great for personal style, neutral colors are a safer choice for professional settings. They are easier to mix and match, which can extend your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Black, navy, gray, and beige are versatile and can be paired with almost anything. 

Pay Attention to Details

The little things can make a big difference in how polished your overall look appears. Make sure your clothes are ironed and free of stains and pet hairs. It’s a small effort that goes a long way in maintaining professionalism.

For a few years now, some of the world’s most famous fashion houses have been experimenting with gender-fluid styles. Whether it’s putting male models in stunning midi skirts or styling womenswear catwalks with masculine tailored suits, boundaries have certainly been blurred across some of the most prestigious and influential fashion shows. Now, gender-fluid style is infiltrating the mainstream – check out three of these super on-trend looks which couldn’t be cooler.

Masculine Mesh

For decades, mesh fabric has been seen as something that belonged in the world of female fashion, but over recent years high-end fashion houses have used it to craft stunning pieces for men. Whether you style your mesh tank as a single layer, or wear it alongside other pieces to create a detailed look, it’s a sure-fire style winner.

Suits You

In women’s fashion, masculine style suits are increasingly being seen as a modern, contemporary take on the tailored look. There’s always the option to belt your blazer jacket if you’re feeling slightly swamped in an oversized style.

Flower Power

For a long time, floral patterns have been associated with women’s spring season dresses and skirts. This year, men’s shirts are being adorned with florals of all forms, to create some stunning wedding-guest ready looks.
