UL is not exactly renowned for its fashion trends, but to be stylish going\u00a0to college doesn\u2019t take much. Here are\u00a05 simple tips in how dress for the UL\u00a0campus.<\/p>\n
1. Ditch the Tracksuit
\nMost people with any sense of style\u00a0are sick of seeing people wearing GAA\u00a0tracksuit bottoms everywhere they go.\u00a0We get it, you made your county\u2019s\u00a0minor team, but please take off the\u00a0free gear they gave you! Nothing about\u00a0a tracksuit is fashionable or attractive.<\/p>\n
2. Dress Up
\nMake an effort coming to college.\u00a0Nobody is expecting a three piece suit\u00a0or floor length gown, smart casual is\u00a0key here. Dressing appropriately\u00a0exudes an air of confidence which in\u00a0turn will be well reciprocated by\u00a0lecturers, tutor and fellow peers.\u00a0Making an effort coming to college is\u00a0not too difficult. For a guy, try a pair of\u00a0chinos or a slim fitted jeans pair of\u00a0jeans with a nice shirt and cardigan, or\u00a0a jumper and a pair of Converse and\u00a0you\u2019re well on your way. For the ladies,\u00a0a pair of high waisted jeans and a shirt
\nalways look nice.<\/p>\n
3. Use Accessories
\nAccessories make an outfit! For\u00a0girls, jewellery and bags are the most\u00a0essential accessories for an outfit.\u00a0Probably the most obvious and\u00a0mandatory accessory for any college\u00a0student is their school bag. Let your\u00a0schoolbag symbolise your personality,\u00a0and let the colour, design and style be\u00a0more important than the function any\u00a0day.<\/p>\n
4. Don\u2019t be Afraid to Experiment
\nCollege is used as the primary way\u00a0to experiment with most things:\u00a0education, alcohol, sex and sexuality,\u00a0but why limit your experience?\u00a0Experiment with your sense of style to\u00a0embrace your personality.<\/p>\n
5. Dress to Impress
\nCollege is a great spot to meet the\u00a0love of your life, but that\u2019s not going to\u00a0happen if you\u2019re in the Stables wearing\u00a0last night\u2019s jeans complete with beer\u00a0stains, a top that your aunt bought you\u00a0for your 15th birthday, and Asics\u00a0trainers.\u00a0Always be prepared, you never\u00a0know who is going to sit beside you in\u00a0your next lecture in the Kemmy.<\/p>\n
