Many students tend to dress down terribly on gloomy days, but not this Fashionista. Although Fashionistas have their off-days too, that doesn’t give them an excuse to get into sweatpants or hoodies. This Fashionista’s outfit serves as a great example of how to dress casually without looking shabby. She looks comfortable but her look still has elements of great style. The infinity scarf, utility jacket and oxford shoes are all major fashion trends, but the way she styles them with a loose T-shirt and basic leggings gives off a laid back effortless look.

How To: Utility jackets have become quite a fashion staple since they got popular last year. There are many variations of a utility jacket in the market these days, and this drawstring utility jacket from Forever 21 is a perfect spring jacket because it's lightweight and breezy. Opt for patterned oxfords to add a pop of color or texture to a plain outfit. Scarves add an instant chic element to your look but make sure to avoid bulky infinity scarves for spring. Express has a range of lightweight shimmering infinity scarves that can be worn from day to night.
