Let’s face it. In college, you’re going to spend a good portion of your time in and around the dormitory. Whether it’s a group study sesh or laundry day or just a lazy Sunday morning, I’m definitely not going to feel like putting on my sky high wedges and skinny jeans. Unfortunately, privacy is virtually a thing of the past and with possibly hundreds of your peers milling around, no college girl wants to get caught looking anything short of presentable. I am never a fan of the messy slob look and so I’ve saved a few go-to casual styles perfect for lounging around without compromising your fashionista panache.
1. Tights paired with a loose top. Oversized sweaters or flowy tunic tanks are a staple for college girls. Stretchy and roomy clothes? Yes please!
Fleece Off the Shoulder Tunic, victoriassecret.com, $44.50
2. Every girl should know by now the magic that is the yoga pant.
Yoga Fold Over Legging, victoriassecret.com, $19.99 (sale)
3. I love the classic boxer shorts look! Pair them with a knit cardigan for a stylish juxtaposition.
Diamond Bay Cardigan, gillyhicks.com, $29.50; Sorlie Shorts, gillyhicks.com, $10 (sale)
4. Look comfy chic with dorm footwear. You don’t want to spend an entire day in those leather boots, now do you? Fluffy moccasins and knit booties not only look adorable, they are sure to keep your feet warm during those winter months!
NonSkid Slipper Socks, amazon.com, $15
Women's Chaia Suede Moccasin Slippers, target.com, $16.09
5. Represent your school! School spirit is never unfashionable in college. Stock up on hoodies and sweats from your college bookstore (though it may not be a good idea to pair your boyfriend’s sweatshirt with a pair of baggy shorts).
Burnout Fleece Hoodie, University of Chicago Bookstore, $49.98
One of my favorite places to shop for lounging clothes is Gilly Hicks. They almost always have a sale and you can find amazing deals. Most recently, there was a 10 for $25 undies sale. Check it out sometime!
