Classes are back in session and so is back-to-school style. As students returned to campus Monday to kick off the fall semester, some made their back-to-school outfits a top priority.
Statement Sneakers
Spotted on celebrities such as Rihanna, Kanye West and Kylie Jenner, a pair of bright and bold sneakers can transform any simple outfit into a memorable one. Mason paired his statement sneakers with a simple outfit, enhancing his hat and shoes.
“I was going for a casual look that wasn’t just a great outfit, but it was a cool and relaxed outfit to move around campus in.”
Jeremy Mason, 21
Marketing Senior
Pin-Up Dress
Although some trends go out of style, others never die — and the pin-up look is one of them. Classic and feminine, Stone’s dress is timeless. Whether it’s worn in the 1940s or the 2010s, her dress will always be in style.
“I really love the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s sun dresses, so I think that kind of inspired my outfit.”
Amanda Stone, 19
English Sophomore
Business Casual
The phrase “look the part, be the part” doesn’t only apply to professionals, but also to students. Johnson wore black jeans, a tucked-in button-up and completed her business look with pointed-toe flats.
“My first-day-back look was inspired by me becoming a senior this year. I wanted to dress for success and still be cute!”
Jalynn Johnson, 21
Psychology Senior
Skater
Rips, tears and baggy clothes essentially make the skater style. Robinson refined the skater look by creating a green theme, displayed in his Vans, tie-dye shirt and corduroy hat.
“My favorite part of my outfit is my shirt because it’s tie-dye, so you can’t tell that it’s wrinkly.”
Kerrell Robinson, 22
Communication Studies Senior
Grunge
Grunge trends didn’t end in the ’90s — now, they’re just as popular as ever. Mallow layered her dark top and skirt with a leather jacket, tied a long-sleeved shirt around her waist and finished the outfit off with combat boots.
“My look today was inspired by my desire for autumn because I love layering, and it’s so much easier when it’s not sweltering outside.”
Bella Mallow, 21
Forensic Anthropology Senior
