Having had such glorious weather since September, it was lovely to see the final sprinkling of summer ‘fits, my favourites being the classic denim mini skirt and sweater combo (bonus points for some knee high boots), or a Motel Rocks ‘Extra Roomy’ pair of jeans paired with a flowy, white linen top. However, as the weather gets colder, I’m starting to see more and more cosy autumn pieces creeping into campus and, although I love summer, I’m excited to see the start of a new season of outfits.
... a simple knitted sweater is another one of my favourite additions to an autumnal outfit.
Early morning lectures call for cosy ‘fits, and my favourite piece to see as we come into the winter months is a pair of Ultra Mini Ugg boots. Perfect for any type of trouser, they keep comfy looking cool, keep toes feeling toasty and come in at least 10 colours to match everyone’s vibe. Second to this, a simple knitted sweater is another one of my favourite additions to an autumnal outfit. With a crew neckline, they can be dressed up with layered necklaces and go with almost every type of trouser possible. Affordable options for these include H&M, coming in at £19 pounds and available in 13 different colours, these make the perfect addition to an early morning look.
However, an effort filled outfit always catches my eye around campus, and when someone knows what they’re doing, it really shows. An example of this that I’m loving at the moment is a layered look, pairing jeans with a hoodie, large coat, cap or beanie, completed with a unique pair of trainers. An idea of this that I saw recently was a dark wash a pair of baggy jeans (such as the Motel Rocks pair mentioned earlier), paired with the navy and yellow ‘with love’ Scuffers hoodie, a navy ‘Stussy’ cap, and an oversized dark wash denim jacket (I know, double denim! How scandalous). But the piece de resistance was a pair of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s in Yellow and black, which tied the yellow script of the hoodie with the dark denim features of the outfit together perfectly, catching my eye and making its mark as my favourite ‘fit on campus so far.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what outfits everyone has to offer in the coming term, and as we move towards winter, I’ll be on the look out for some more comfy but cool looks.
