Oversized Sweater
You can never go wrong with an oversized sweater your first week back at college. Pair it with some high waisted jeans and your favorite sneakers, and you got the perfect look! There are two reasons why this is the ideal back to college look. One, it doesn’t look like you tried super hard and spent months trying to figure out the perfect outfit. Two, some schools start in September when the weather is a little chilly, and the classrooms are always freezing! It’s cute and practical.
