STYLE GURU STYLE: When Comfort and Style Meet

November 21st, 2016 at 2:00am

Getting dressed up can be fun and make you feel great. I enjoy putting a cute outfit together and doing my makeup just as much as the next person, but doing this every day is just unrealistic. Staying up late finishing assignments only to wake up early for class leaves you sleep deprived and looking for comfort, which is what my style tends to revolve around. Whether I’m heading to the mall for a shopping trip or catching the bus to campus, my goal is to look cute and feel comfortable at the same time.

The weather is finally beginning to cool down in Gainesville, which means it’s time to break out the “winter” clothes. I opted for some satin joggers that provide comfort, but don’t make me look like I just rolled out of bed. The black leather jacket pairs well with the joggers to focus the outfit and keep it sleek. It’s timeless and classy, yet it’s easy to move in and keeps me comfortable. My pink crop top adds a splash of color to the other main components of the outfit to make it look even more thoughtful and put together. Depending on my mood, I might opt for slip ons or boots, but these leopard print flats add a little flair to the outfit that I just love. They’re simple but are a definite statement piece for the look.

My style changes with my mood, and it’s super simple to switch up this look to fit your personal taste! You could swap those flats for some sneakers and a bomber jacket for a sportier look that is perfect for anything from running errands to going out with friends. If you’re looking to bring the comfort with you for a night out, try a blazer and some low heels. No matter what look you’re going for, you definitely don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style, which is the best of both worlds!
