The transition from school to college is such a big step. Obviously, it comes with many changes — no more uniforms (yay!), a number of responsibilities (oh noes!), a more relaxed schedule (score!), steering away from all that teenage baggage (finally!), and finally, the so-called “adulting” (still figuring that out!). There’s suddenly so much going on. Then there’s the pressure of dressing up to the nines just so as to gain IT-girl status in college. Even though a college is meant to be a chill zone, IMO it is important that you don’t steer clear from dressing shabbily there. I think grooming oneself in college is essential as it helps lay a sartorial foundation before you set yourself out in the real world. And who doesn’t want to be titled the ‘Wow Girl’ in college with respect to one’s fashion choices?

Then there’s the pressure of dressing well. While you don’t want to be Queen Bee, you certainly don’t want to be a wallflower that no one notices either. Even though college is meant to be a chill zone, IMO it is important that you don’t dress shabby. Here is where you’re picking up the finer nuances of life, love, work, and everything in between, and the clothes you wear are a representation of how seriously you take yourself and your surroundings.

If you’re looking to up your sartorial leanings and arm yourself with an envy-inducing wardrobe for college, here’s a little help. From fun pieces to on-trend accessories, I’ve compiled a list of must-haves for the girl who knows exactly who she is and what message she wants to give the world about herself. After all, why not be noticed for your style moves when that’s totally your thing?
