STYLE ADVICE: Comfort Over Heels

March 6th, 2017 at 2:00am

School, especially college, is the best time of any Fashionista/o’s life. There is no dress code and no expectations on what to wear. There may be a wide variety of styles throughout each classroom but one aspect of it is almost always sought out from everybody: comfort. College is the time of your life where you get minimum sleep, have zero inclination to look presentable every day, and sometimes sleep in and just have no time to wear anything but pajamas to class. One key to dressing for college is comfort because sometimes your days start as early as eight in the morning, the weather may shift, and walking from one building to the next could be strenuous with major heels going on.

To keep all of that at a minimum, opt for something similar to this Fashionista’s outfit. She’s wearing a statement shirt with bell sleeves and a paisley design for a bohemian style look. The free flowing form of the shirt gives her full range of mobility and keeps some of the material off her skin if the day started warming up. Moving down, she chose a pair of distressed denim jeans. Although any style (flare, bootcut, boyfriend, straight, etc.) would’ve worked for this component of the outfit, skinny is always a go-to for many people. However, keeping it to your personal comfort level is the most important thing. For shoes, she chose a pair of dark, knee-high boots. The color complements the bohemian style of the shirt nicely. They also have little to no heel, making them easy to walk around in throughout the day from start to finish.

When it comes down to accessories, this Fashionista chose to keep it to a minimum. Keeping her accessories simple made the look more dainty and girly. She wore a larger pair of thin, silver hoops which have become more popular in fashion recently. On her wrist, she chose a single Alex and Ani bracelet with a sand dollar. Finally she chose a dainty, small stone ring for a minimalist look.

Even in your busiest of mornings, keep in mind this Fashionista’s outfit to keep it comfortable yet classic for a clean-cut and put-together style every time.
