WHAT TO WEAR: Finals

Right now in Australia, it is currently exam or finals period. Yes, that dreaded part of the semester where you can taste the freedom of university break, but still remain trapped under that huge pile of looming due dates, late night revision sessions, textbooks and exam notes.

Let’s face it, during this period, we are all especially guilty of quickly throwing on a tracksuit pants, a hoodie and running out the door in our flip flops (or thongs as we call them here in Australia). Ultimately, during this time when it comes to dressing comfort is always key. All of those late nights and early mornings mean we are way too tired to function let alone worry about what to wear. However, this need not be the attitude as style doesn’t necessarily have to be compromised for comfort and can be easily achieved. The key to dressing smart and sophisticated, yet cozy and relaxed, during this period is to keep outfits basic. In this case less is always more, and keep colors neutral, like black, white or gray.

Decked out in monochrome, this Fashionisto combines a black T-shirt and sneakers with matching white detailing for the ultimate finals week outfit. By combing these monochrome pieces the ensemble has a symmetrical vibe that helps to create an overall polished finish. The casual light gray charcoaled shorts are also perfect, especially for summer, and they help keep things light and comfortable.

One Simple Change: To dress things up slightly for or a nighttime study session with friends throw on a cool black bomber jacket to smarten up the look whilst still keeping things effortless. Additionally, switch the summer shorts for some gray denim jeans for a more structured evening look.
