During summer, it often seems like you’re stuck in a period of endless nights where you can do whatever and sleep in till whenever with next to no obligations. Then, September rolls around and you can’t lounge on the couch all day in your pyjamas binge-watching Freaks & Geeks. It’s back to school time. And while some may be happy about seeing their friends everyday again or seeing their favourite teachers, the stress of trying to be stylish and not show up in sweatpants everyday can be challenging if you add in the homework and activities you’ll be doing. But don’t worry – Malika, Didi and Talia are here to the rescue with some back to school outfit ideas that will provide serious outfit inspiration.
Malika
Malika is sporting a black dress with lace trip underneath a blue denim jean jacket. Dresses are super comfy to wear to school and make you look very put together when you’re not willing to put up with the struggle of pulling on your jeans. When it gets colder, you can easily wear a pair of tights underneath with some socks over top. It may sound outrageous but the layering ensures your toes are kept toasty warm when it’s chilly. Another lovely feature of the dress is you can accessorize with nearly anything. Malika chose simple rings and a cute pair of shades. Calgary can be quite sunny so sunglasses are essential when you’re going to and from school.
Didi
Didi is wearing a simple monochromatic look. The black leggings and flats are simple while the white top captures all the attention. This is definitely perfect for those days where it’s not too hot but not to cold and perfect for Calgary because as you know, the weather tends to change it’s mind often. Leggings are comfortable year around and her top is nice and flowy and not too constricting. The slit in the sleeves is simple yet cute and you can easily throw on a sweater on top if you get cold. Didi also paired the outfit with a black and white handbag which is perfect for carrying around all your school essentials.
Talia
Talia looks comfy and chic in this simple outfit. She’s wearing blue jeans, boots (perfect for autumn!), a blue top and a grey sweater with cute accessories. Jeans are definitely a staple item in anyone’s closet. They’re comfy and go with anything so pairing them with a simple top and cozy cardigan leaves you looking stylish and comfy without the sweatpants. As well, Talia is sporting some TARDIS earrings and I’ve found from experience, sometimes when you sport apparel that represents your favourite fandom, lots of friendships will form. So don’t be afraid of bringing your inner Fangirl/Fanboy out! And lastly, she is sporting some cute combat boots which are perfect for autumn and look good with everything. You won’t have to worry about avoiding puddles when you’re wearing these.
With these outfits, I hope they served as some inspiration for you this year! Wishing you all the best during this 2015/2016 school year and don’t forget to check out Hui Wen’s back to school lookbook as well!
