Summer SCHOOLED
School may be out, but academia-inspired outfits are in!
CO-ED CLOSET
Oversized pieces that look borrowed from the boy’s section of the uniform store pair great with glam items. Just look at the he way Vanessa has on baggy y shorts and a crop top and a blazer with a fierce pony and winged liner.
SCHOOL COOL UNIFORM
Create a uniform-inspired outfit by incorporating your own style into classic uniform looks, like pleated skirts and pinafore dresses. Whitney does this by y unbuckling a strap, tying a flannel around d her waist and adding a bandana around her neck.
CROP QUIZ
Grab that pair of scissors in your old pencil case to give a collared shirt a makeover! Thrift a shirt for a few dollars (Tip: Check the men’s section!) then cut it across the bottom for a cropped effect. The frayed edges add to the look.
NOTE THE PATTERN
There’s no print that gives you that academic look more than plaid! Throwing on a plaid pair of pants is the easiest way to ace this trend. Extra credit for matching your top to your shoes the way Madison does!
CHECK YOUR WORK
Want to keep your school spirit subtle? Meg’s gingham skirt is a modern spin on the academia style. Worn with chunky sneakers and a basic top, you’ll feel comfortable and trendy.
