Going back to school shopping has always been a fan favorite. With universities still deciding on whether or not they will be holding the fall semester virtually, we know you’re probably wondering if going back to school shopping is even worth it. It is! Trust us; once you decide on your outfits, there is no way you won’t be psyched to go back to college – virtual or not! This is why we came up with ten outfits you should wear during your first week back at college!

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.

Ripped Jeans

These are a staple to any, and we mean any outfit! Dressed up, dressed down, lazy, chic, etc., etc., whatever you decide to pair these jeans with is guaranteed to make it look cute! An oversized sweater is lovely, a crop top, or a t-shirt can work. It’s versatile. Ripped jeans are the perfect outfit for the first week back at college!

You can always pair your jean jacket with a cute summer dress, a pair of shorts, leather pants, etc. The number of outfits that you can come up with when it comes to a jean jacket is almost infinite.
