8 Wardrobe Essentials You Need To Look Stylish This Semester
If you’re looking to revamp your style without breaking the bank or you’re trying the minimalist way of life, here are the 8 essential items you need in your wardrobe to get through uni this year.
1. All-day dresses
Uni-life is all about spontaneous plans and multi-tasking so you need a dress that can work in every situation, you can wear it to class, to brunch or for a cheeky drink during happy hour. I personally love a good printed dress, or a layered look can never do you wrong!
Layered Shirt Dress - NastyGal $42
2. Plaid Skirts
Plaid skirts are so much more versatile than you would think, you could literally wear a plaid skirt like you would wear a solid-colour skirt but better! it does well with sweaters, graphic tees and crop tops. Don’t be afraid to clash other prints with plaid patterns!
Darwin Mini-Skirt - Princess Polly $45
3. Biker Shorts/Joggers
Let’s be honest, there are days and weeks of the semester where you’ve given up and just don’t have the energy to put effort into your effort. Let your bike shorts and joggers come to save the day! Thank god for oversized fits being in trend right now. Do I even need to further explain why joggers and bike shorts are absolute essentials?
Biker Shorts - DoYouEven $44
4. Hoodies
The saviours of every uni student! Forgot to wash your hair - hoodie, bloated - hoodie, hungover - hoodie, life crisis- HOODIE! Also, it’s a cute look so that’s always a bonus.
Oversized Hoodie - boohoo $25
5. Graphic tees
They’re the best pieces in your wardrobe because of how many ways you can wear them and when you’re on a budget you want pieces that you can work in different ways. I personally tucked in jeans look but it’s great to layer with a jacket or with your plaid skirt too!
Means Girls Graphic Tee - PrettyLittleThing $21
6. Denim shorts
When it’s a hot day, or you have a long day ahead of you, a pair of denim shorts is the easiest look to carry off and they go with everything so..
American Eagle Denim Shorts - ASOS $44
7. White Sneakers
Yes, they are basic, but everybody has them for a reason. Sometimes liking what’s popular is cool and having white sneakers is 100% one of them.
Air Force 1 '07 - Women's - The Iconic $160
8. Boots
If I had to pick having one fancy pair of shoes, I would definitely recommend getting yourself a good pair of boots, they honestly go with everything.
