Back-to-school season is almost here! Which means it’s time to start planning for the cutest outfits you can slay all year long. Whether you’re in high school or college, you’ll know that there are always many different styles being worn by students. Some like to dress cute all the time, others keep it casual and simple, and then there was me.

I was a mess in high school. I would look like I literally just rolled out of bed. My go-to outfit that I wore basically every day was a really oversized shirt ( looked more like a dress ), and sweatpants. It was simple and easy enough that I could just throw on if I woke up late ( which was most of the time ). Now I’m a sophomore in college and I’ve been trying to put at least a little effort in the way I dress.

Whether you’re going back to high school or just starting your first year in college, this post is for you. If you’re feeling anxious about what to wear in college, don’t. No one really cares about how you dress because almost everyone just wears a graphic tee, hoodie, and sweatpants. There might be a few people who dress up occasionally but that’s about it.

To give you a little inspo, I’ve gathered outfit ideas that are suitable for every season of the year. Most of these outfits are casual and simple because that is what most people wear. But you can always choose to dress it up or down and add fun accessories. Now, let’s take a look at these gorgeous college outfits!

COLLEGE OUTFITS

1. OVERSIZED SWEATER + RIBBED SKIRT

This is like THE fall outfit. It’s super chic, comfy, and will definitely keep you warm. Pair a cute cream oversized sweater with a ribbed skirt and complete the look with a pair of pointed booties.

2. WHITE CROP TOP + RUFFLE SKIRT

This is another cute outfit for the days you want to look put together. A white basic crop top paired with a ruffle skirt and knee-high boots make for the ultimate college girl outfit. This look would honestly look amazing for a concert as well.

3. BLACK CROP TOP + JEANS

A black crop top and jeans are obviously a no-brainer for both high school and college. It’s simple, cute, and it doesn’t take a lot of effort to pull off.

4. GREEN DRAWSTRING TOP + JEANS

Add a bit of color to your wardrobe and pair a nice green (or any color you’d like) drawstring top with some loose-fitted jeans to look gorgeous while you walk down the halls.

5. GRAPHIC TEE + LOOSE FITTED JEANS

Every college girl needs a graphic tee on her wardrobe rotation. There are SO many options to choose from. My favorite place to shop for graphic tees is Nordstrom but you can also find a great selection on Amazon.

6. BLACK CROP TOP + CARDIGAN + JEANS

This is another gorgeous fall outfit idea. Grab your favorite long-sleeved crop top and pair it with some light-wash jeans. Make sure you grab a cardigan cause the weather can be finicky. Complete the look with a pair of white sneakers and a black handbag.

7. OVERSIZED GRAPHIC TEE + BLACK DISTRESSED JEANS

Looking for cute college outfits with graphic tees? This is another great inspo you can copy. Just pair whatever graphic tee you have with black ripped jeans and a pair of Converse. Put your hair up in a messy bun and wear some hoop earrings to top it off.

8. DENIM JACKET + WHITE TOP + JEANS

I don’t know if it’s just me but I love the look of denim on denim. I think it looks amazing. You can make it look super cute by wearing a white top underneath the jacket and wearing some white platform sneakers to finish the look.

9. TANK TOP + STRAIGHT LEG JEANS

We’ve got another classic here. You’ll be seeing LOTS of girls wearing this exact outfit, especially in the summer. A cute tank top, and straight-leg jeans, paired with comfy Birkenstock sandals will be your go-to as well.

10. ALL BLACK FIT

An all-black outfit anyone? You really don’t need to put much thought into this look. A tank top, and black trousers/jeans, topped with a pair of Converse will look amazing.

11. COLLARED SHIRT + SWEATER + ANKLE JEANS

You’ll definitely be seeing a lot of outfits like this on campus. It’s simple, cute, and dress code appropriate. You can buy the collared tops on Amazon for really cheap and they come in a pack.

They are nice to have when you want to create a collared look but don’t want to wear a shirt underneath.

12. CROPPED JACKET + LEGGINGS

A cropped jacket and leggings are one of the simplest college outfits you can put together. You can wear whatever top you want and just layer the cropped jacket on top.

Then, put on a pair of leggings and grab a cute pair of boots and you’re ready for class!
