What do most people wear?
Whatever they want! Everyone wears different things and embraces their own unique personal style.
However, I will say, at least in the South, most people, girls and boys alike, wear athletic wear or T-shirts. So, if you're unsure about what to wear, then this is the way to go! Especially since it's so hot for the first few months of college.
Be sure to add your own personal flair to it! This could be jewelry, socks, hats, hairstyles, your backpack/tote bag and more. For me, this means wearing tennis dresses or tennis skirts paired with ruffled white socks and all my favorite jewelry. Anddd occasionally I have a baggy t-shirt and shorts day of course 🙂
Where can I get affordable & cute college class outfits?
I'm so glad you asked! My absolute favorite place to find affordable athletic wear outfits to complete the collegiate look is Amazon. Another good option is to look on Poshmark, Curtsy, Depop, ThreadUp, eBay, and so on. Purchasing nice athletic wear brands secondhand, such as Alo and Lululemon, is a great way to save money.
My favorite affordable athletic wear stores:
- Amazon
- Second-hand stores - (Poshmark, Curtsy, Depop, ThreadUp, eBay)
- YPB by Abercrombie
- Lululemon - We Made Too Much
- Old Navy
- Aerie
- Target (Specifically Joylab, which is exclusively sold at Target)
- Fabletics
MY best Amazon tennis dress finds (THAT I OWN & LOVE)!
- ATTRACO Tennis Dress
These adorable ones with the stripe down the side are my absolute favorite. I wore the first one so much I had to get another! The cut is incredibly flattering, and I am 5'6" and they are the perfect length on me.
2. Tanou Tennis Dress
This tennis dress has the most adorable scallops lining the bottom, making for the perfect charming and slightly elevated athletic wear outfit. It's a modest length on me, but beware, it will probably be too short for girls much taller than I. (Again, I'm 5'6")
This is one of the most adorable casual college girl outfits I've seen, and it's perfect for looking good and feeling good in your classes!
3. IUGA Tennis Dress
This dress is classic and straightforward in the front, with an adorable twist in the back. Click the Pinterest link to check out the adorable back of the dress. This dress is incredibly flattering and features built-in shorts, making it very comfortable. I love this one and may just have to get it in another color!
