I would prefer a mid-heel instead of those shoes. I wore navy converse and simple boots during uni a lot. The trenchcoat looks great but again I would rather have a simple trenchcoat in another neutral color, such as beige/camel or navy.<br />Here are some outfits I'd go for:<br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346003183848581613/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346003183848581613/</a><br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346003183849139759/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346003183849139759/</a><br />and something more feminine: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346003183847528796/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346003183847528796/</a></p> <p>Just my 2 cents, tho'.

College/Uni is such a fun time!&nbsp;<br />I'm a senior now (or on my last year) and my time here has been fun, stress, and fashion experimental. I've gone through different fashion phases and it's a great time to just switch things up!&nbsp;</p> <p>Usually Uni is quite casual like the other say. I go to a business school, so we dress it up a bit</p> <p>This top from zara is cute, I noticed you like frilly lacy blouses<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/tops/view-all/guipure-lace-top-c733890p2909055.html">http://www.zara.com/us/en/woma.....09055.html</a></p> <p>Or this simple pleated top:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/tops/view-all/pleated-top-c733890p2776295.html">http://www.zara.com/us/en/woma.....76295.html</a></p> <p>And pair with this marble tassel necklace:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://101ideasny.com/collections/necklace/products/marble-tassel-necklace">http://101ideasny.com/collecti.....l-necklace</a></p> <p>Your shoes look great with any outfit btw :)<br />Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-at-university#post-1555373 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 14:23:44 +0000 Eva 1555373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kitty, less advice and more reassurance; In my experience with different unis, most of the time a campus is treated as judgement free zone in terms of fashion. Everything above sweatpants and crocs counts as 'reasonably well dressed' in most places, and even those are hardly eyebrow-raising (unless you're, say, meeting with your advisor or holding a presentation maybe). </p> <p>Business or (pre-)law people tend to be a bit more professional looking, but if that applies to you you're still on the right track with what you posted.</p> <p>Just relax. Dress for confidence &amp; comfort, and you'll be fine. (and don't be surprised if you come across someone in an elaborate period costume, actual pyjamas, or something that's not pj's but they still appear to have slept in. Expect the last one during finals.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-at-university#post-1555367 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 14:16:56 +0000 Cococat 1555367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I work in an Australian university too and I agree, there is no one look. It's pretty much anything goes. Like Lucy said, most students dress pretty casually and heels are rare, even with the academics...I'm actually one of the few who wears them. </p> <p>Jeans are a great idea and comfortable shoes are important. You will find yourself walking up and down stairs a lot, even in the lecture theatres to get to your seat.</p> <p>Have fun! :-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-at-university#post-1555350 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 13:52:09 +0000 Angie 1555350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you've received great advice already. Congrats and have fun at school.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-at-university#post-1555296 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 12:22:14 +0000 Suz 1555296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on beginning school!&nbsp;</p> <p>I work and study on a Canadian campus and I would agree with Lucy. There is no "one look" that predominates. Casual dress is typical, with jeans being a mainstay, but there's quite a variation in the details. A lot will depend on your climate.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the juxtaposition of a dressy blouse with denim, so if it fits your style aesthetic, go for it. You can always change your top pretty easily the next day if you feel out of place.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for heels, Lucy also makes a good point. They can be tricky on campus. But some people do wear them anyway. I would judge by your own comfort level.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-at-university#post-1555249 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 10:16:51 +0000 Lucy 1555249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans are great and the blouses look lovely - people tend to dress quite differently on campus so there is not "one look" to follow. If you like this kind of blouse, you should get a lot of pleasure out of wearing them.<br /> I work on an Australian campus, so I'm not sure of the situation in the states. But here almost no one wears heels, and especially not high heels. I am unusual that I wear low heels, but that is because IM quite short and I can't see over the lecturn in some classrooms, lol! You see heels on newbies in the first week of semester and then never again. You will find you do a lot of walking on campus, and quite a bit of standing so even the best dressed go to flats. Boots, vans, sandals and flip flops are the main shoes.<br /> Hope this helps. And enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-at-university#post-1555245 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 10:07:41 +0000 kittyandbear 1555245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is my first year at university and want to look fashionable. I was wondering if these jeans: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://imgur.com/a/pJfZ4">http://imgur.com/a/pJfZ4</a> would work with any of these blouses: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://imgur.com/a/96Mlu">http://imgur.com/a/96Mlu</a> and this trench <a rel="nofollow" href="http://i.imgur.com/RDvD0dA.png">http://i.imgur.com/RDvD0dA.png</a> and these shoes <a rel="nofollow" href="http://i.imgur.com/UGdRVRm.png">http://i.imgur.com/UGdRVRm.png</a><br />or are the jeans too casual and the blouses too elegant to work together! HELP! </p>
