20 First Day Of School Outfit Ideas For College Girls

If you’re anything like me, the thought of August being right around the corner gives you a lasting case of the Sunday Scaries. Anxiety aside, going back to school does have its perks—new clothes being one of them. Before you go shopping for your first day of school outfit, check out these awesome outfit ideas.

Basic

By basic, I don’t mean Ugg boots and a Frappuccino—I mean a traditional, timeless look that is functional as well as stylish. Keep it relaxed, as it is important to be comfortable in your first day of school outfit.

Boho

Heading into the fall, we are entering prime boho season. Fringe, denim and embroidery are staples in your bohemian looks, with swinging silhouettes and standout pieces that are sure to let your classmates know you mean business.

Preppy

Preppy girls know it best, fall doesn’t have to mean dressing in dark colors. When starting your freshman year, let your first day of school outfit speak for itself by showing off your adventurous personality. Colored pants, basic tops and bright prints are essential.
