First Day, First Impression

The athletic look is a classic. Throwing on the perfect pair of running shorts or leggings, complete with a t-shirt or tank top and sneakers is a quick look that can easily be made fashionable. The look can be accessorized with a hat or a sweatshirt and for women is usually accompanied by a ponytail or messy bun. It’s a look that says you’re on the go and sporty while doing so. Plus, you can head straight from class to the gym without having to go home and change.

The preppy look can be portrayed through many different pieces of clothing, but for women, it’s mostly stiff, clean-cut dresses, fancy jewelry, nice heels, cardigans, dress skirts and shorts and perfectly-styled hair. For men, the look usually comes with dress pants or khakis, clean cut shirts and ties, usually topped off with a jacket and a pair of dress shoes. The prep style usually showcases bright colors or patterns and signifies a business-casual kind of look. It definitely is a good way to look smart and prepared for the school year ahead.

A grunge look can be sported in many different ways, but it mostly includes black, white, gray and red, ripped denim, graphic tees and lots of layering. The look can be put together with choker necklaces and other jewelry, big belts, converse, vans and combat boots. This is a more dulled down grunge look, but for a more fashionable grunge look, you can sport darker dresses and skirts. There’s always a difference between a true grunge look and the girlier grunge look, but either way, it’s a cute style to showcase on the first day of class.

The casual hippie contains no boundaries. This can range from palazzo pants and a crochet crop top to a denim skirt and blouse. Accessorized with cute sandals, booties, relaxed jewelry and maybe a headband, the casual hippie look can make you look dressed up or casually dressed. Either way, it’s a great look for the first day and a great look to keep up for the entire year.
