What do I wear on the first day of college?
With the start of the new university session, I think most teenagers are struggling with this question. They could be discussing it with friends, cousins and their mothers and therefore transmit tension to their mothers. I remember that I writhed and went to bed all night thinking about what to wear the first day (or rather what to wear in college) when I was about to enter university. We have a lot of information from the Internet, but most of it is suitable for Western culture. Many of the suggested dress patterns are not allowed in the dress code of our universities (specifically Indian universities). So here are some points that I have marked that will help you decide your wardrobe for that new chapter of your life. Happy reading ...

College is synonymous with casual dress and most girls are absolutely comfortable wearing jeans and T-shirts anywhere and everywhere. It is the easiest to wear and you do not realize that you spend too much time thinking about dressing. Well, there's nothing against it, but there are ways to add a touch of style and make your own statement. And who does not want to be appreciated?
So, when you plan to buy new jeans for college, you may want to buy brightly colored jeans such as red, dark pink, green sap, etc. that are not only blue and black. By adding colors to your jeans, you can be more vibrant and appear as a person with a colorful environment. Everyone likes to be surrounded by colorful and cheerful people.
Combine it with: These can be combined with pretty shirts with floral print or shirts or tops.

Colored Jeans with Printed Floral Shirt/ Top
- You might also look at buying some printed jeans. Lots of brands are selling those in the market.
Pair it with: These can be
teamed up with nice plain shirts or T-shirts.
Printed Jeans look good with plain colored top or a shirt
- Addition of a pair of nice ripped jeans to your wardrobe is another good option. Select one which looks stylish without being too garish. Check the video here to see "How to Make Ripped Jeans from your existing pair of jeans."
Select a ripped jeans that's not too loud or garish
Pair it with: Leggings/ Jeggingsgo best with long flared T’s, tops and shirts which partially cover the hip and
might be a bit shorter in front.
Printed leggings and jeggings are plenty available in the market.
Accessories: Minimal accessories are required with Jeans
and T’s / Leggings and Tops. One nice funky bracelet, a small pendant on a thin
chain and small earrings look simple and girly. If you want a more stylish
impact then go for large earrings matching the top.
Footwear: Canvas shoes, sneakers are the best to
wear with this dressing style. One can even wear short boots as that adds to
the style quotient.
Bags: Sling bags, back-packs, Hobo’s
look good with this style.
- It’s advisable to invest in a good pair of trousers for the special days in college where one needs to attend or present at presentations.
Pair it with: Nice shirts or
pull over tops (depending on the weather) go well with it. One might also want
to team it up with nice tuck-in top and a good quality formal looking longer
shrug. You will definitely make some heads turn with that look.
Ankle length is the new rage
Nice formal looking skirts that reach the shin are also a
very good option in western wear for college.
- A-Line, Fishtail, Gored and straight skirts are very comfortable to wear and look very classy. All these skirts are semi-casual variants and can be worn for presentations etc. as well.
- One can even wear full length skirts with tank tops occasionally for a more relaxed yet trendy look.
- It’s better to buy plain skirts instead of printed as they can be worn for different types of occasions in college.
A-Line Skirt just below the knee looks very formal
Fish-Tail skirt can be custom stitched as not always readily available.
Gored skirt has a very nice flow and fall
Pair it with: It can be given a
total casual to formal look with the type of top that’s worn with it. Flared
top or a crop top will give it a very casual look.
However a tucked in shirt or a formal looking top will make
one look formal. So depending on the occasion one can choose the type of top to
wear.

Accessories: Minimal accessories are required with Trouser/
skirts and tops if you are aiming a more formal look. A nice delicate bracelet,
a small pendant on a thin chain and small earrings look formal and girly. If
you want a more stylish impact then you can tie a small scarf around the neck
with a collared shirt/ top.
Footwear: Boots, platform heals, stilettos,
formal slip-ons and pumps will enhance the overall style.
Bags: Drawstring leather bag, Sling
bags, Totes, Bucket bags and leather back-packs accompany this style the best.
Tops:
- T’s are the easiest to choose as they go well with jeans, leggings and skirts as well. Before buying a T-shirt be very mindful of what is printed/ written on it. I had a very embarrassing situation when I bought a T-shirt in a hurry (from out of station) as I liked the color. When I showed it to my friends the truth dawned on me that I won’t be able to wear it to college. It had “My dad says condoms do not work” written on it in BOLD.
- It’s good to have a good mix of different colored T’s in your wardrobe as you can wear it on special days when one has to wear clothes of a particular color because of some theme day in college. Sleeveless T-shirts look very nice as long as it’s allowed in college.
- Flared tops look very good with jeans and skirts. If carried confidently it even goes well with trousers.
- High-low flared tops look very stylish with leggings and jeggings. One can team it up with a nice printed scarf.
- Shirts and formal tops are available in various lengths. Longer ones can be worn with jeans, skirts and trousers tucked it while shorter ones will look better with skirts and trousers only.
This is the fun part. Different types of shrugs and jacketslike denim, net, stretchable etc. are available in the market. When teamed
properly with the regular clothes the look is transformed and one looks more
fashionable.
Denim Jackets can be worn with denims, skirts,shorts etc.
This kind of shrug helps one look taller and thinner
- Shrugs of longer length makes one look taller and thinner and it definitely helps in covering the bulge that is otherwise visible through a body hugging top.
- If one doesn’t want to be seen wearing sleeveless in college then too one can wear a denim jacket or shrug which can later be removed and tied around the waist when going out with friends. It adds to one’s style quotient.
Indian:
Indian dressing has fewer options as compared to western
dressing. One can have variations in the kurti styles which are mostly worn
with leggings. Patiala is currently not in trend for college wear.
Just like jeans and T-shirts kurti and leggings seem to the
next favorite option for not only college going girls but all ladies. It is
very comfortable and is readily available in various, designs, colors, sizes
etc. One can experiment with different types of kurtis for a different look
every time. Some of them are listed below.
Long kurti is in fashion now since quite some time. It’s
available in different fabrics like cotton, georgette, silk etc. but georgette
seems to be liked by most and is easy to carry and handle. It makes one look
taller and thinner. Sleeveless style looks very trendy and youthful. One can
even opt for three-fourth or churidar sleeves as well. It can be teamed with
ankle-length leggings, slim fit jeans or even cigarette pants.
Long Straight kurti can be worn with leggings or even skin fit jeans
Knee length or longer A-line kurtis too are very comfortable
and look good. The look can be modified by addition of slit in front and at the
sides and worn with ankle length leggings. One can choose these kurtis with or
without collar, sleeveless or with short or long sleeves. Huge variety and
options are available in this variant. The best thing is, it suits all body
types and helps in covering extra bulge.
Opt for an A-line kurti that's more chic and girly
Sherwani style is excellent to wear on formal days to
college like presentations, debates, facilitations, felicitations etc. They go
well with skin fit jeans and leggings. It is mostly collared yet different neck
patterns can be incorporated in it. One does not need to carry dupatta with it
as it itself looks complete. Though sleeveless style looks best, mega and
three- fourth sleeves too look good.
Sherwani style kurti has a very elegant and sophisticated look
Angarakha Style Kurti:
While basic angarakha style is a bit simple, the overall
style changes when it added with flare or with high low. It is quite casual yet
adds sophistication to one adorning it. In this style on part goes half way
over the other part and is either secured with tie-ups or stitched in place. Ankle
length leggings suit best with this
kurti style.
This is one of the latest trends in the kurti section. The
front hem is shorter than the back hem and has quite a bit of flare. The uneven
hem gives a western look and is hence suitable for casual occasions and party
purposes depending on the type of material. There’s no need to carry a dupatta
as it has the western look and hence is easier to manage while commuting. It
can be worn with churidar or ankle length body fitting leggings.
High Low kurti with chunky jewellery for a fashionista
This is derived from the style of kurti worn by Rani
Mukherjee in the movie Bunty Babli. It has a shirt collar and may have a round
or a straight hem. The types of collar may vary in the shirt style kurti from
Chinese stand collar to pattern which give an illusion of collar. If the kurti
length is short then it goes very well with jeans. Longer once can be worn with
leggings, jeggings or even jeans. All look very feminine and classy.
Accessories: With ethnic dressing one can experiment
more with accessories. Chunky ear-rings and neck lace look very trendy and
stylish. A bunch of thick bangles will heighten the style quotient.
Footwear: Sandals, stilettos, flat formal
slip-ons and pumps suit this dressing style.
Bags: Totes and Bucket bags generally
look good with this style. However with shirt style kurti Hobo’s too will look
good.
Since college girls need to carry quite a bit of stuff to
college the bags need to be roomy and easy to handle. Below are some of the bag
styles that one can add to their wardrobe and mix and accompany it with
appropriate dressing:
This bag lies across the back and is supported at the
shoulders with double handles. It gives complete freedom to both the hands at
all times and is roomy and generally has many pockets to compartmentalize the
things that are carried.
The name is derived from the shape of this bag which is that
of a bucket. It opens on top and has shoulder straps. These are available in
many sizes and are mostly very roomy.
These are very large and spacious bags and generally have
one main compartment secured with a zip or sometimes even a flap. It has a
wider handle and hence provides more support to the shoulder. These are
available in different types of materials like cloth, rexene, suede leather
etc.
