College Closet Staples

When attending university, you must remember this before all else: your space is limited. Therefore, it is crucial to pack and organize your closet in a way that is effective and practical for the semester in college.

This is a list of curated pieces that you should definitely bring with you to university:

1. Jeans

In at least two different colored washes.

2. Casual Trousers

Somewhat loose. Somewhat with a stretchy waistband. The key is cute plus comfort.

7. Oversized Jacket

Oversized jean or leather jacket. All this depends on is which member of one direction you’re trying to look like.

So, here are some tips to help you organize your college closet:

  • No, you don’t need all that jewellery.
  • Same goes for shoes
  • Undergarment comfort matters tremendously
  • You will be sitting in each class for at least 1.5 hours. Remember that next time you want to wear skinny jeans and/or crop tops

Try to remember that you’re going away to university and it’s not a fashion show. I personally try to aim between a cozy and chic sense of style, but midterms always get the best of me and I end up living in leggings and sneakers.
