Back-to-School Fashion for Ladies

CEBU, Philippines - Time flies so fast that, in two weeks, it's back to school once again. Pulling out a good outfit for school is a common problem, especially among college students. But no need to worry - some of the outfits from summer will still do for school. A little mix-and-match is all that's needed.

Floral Prints

The summer's end need not send the floral prints away to the closet. The floral-printed pieces can still rock - so long as they're of darker shades. An oversized sweater, boots, and a dark-colored sling bag would make a perfect set for a school comeback outfit.

Blazers on Lacy Dress

A lacy dress matched with a dark-colored blazer is not only comfortable but it also makes for a more formal look, just right for classes where more conventional dressing is required. This sassy yet descent outfit is sure to make a good impression with conservative professors.

Sneakers to a Fancy Frock

A good footwear for those aiming for a more lively and sassy look is a pair of sneakers, to go with a creatively embellished dress. Sneakers give more support than flip-flops or wedges, so the feet are still in good shape by the end of the day. The entire look is not necessarily laid-back, but, instead, simple yet adorable.

Neon Geometric-Print Dress

Who says neon colors can only be worn on summer? A neon geometric-print dress is one of the perfect ways to make a strong fashion statement on the first day of school. This outfit has a retro '80s vibe; matching it up with a plain cardigan and strappy wedges can tone down the look for school. Truly, it's a great way to make a fashion impression.

Loose-Fitting Boyfriend Jeans

This type of jeans has truly become the most comfortable denim trend today. It's perfect for a long day of classes and extra-curricular activities. A fitted tee, going with accessories, can give a more stylish look. Additionally, killer heels could make it more daring.

Oversized Sweatshirts

Sweatshirts have taken a turn for the stylish with graphic prints, "distressed" detailing, and loads of glistening embellishments. They are perfect for layering especially that the cooler season is coming. Oversized sweatshirts make a solid pullover on top of a summer dress.

Denim Jumpers

The classic look is never out-dated. The fashion-conscious have elevated the look by adding a punk-rock twist. Denim jumpers paired with a simple horizontal-stripe tee could help in achieving a classic flair. The whole look gets better with a solid-structure bag, leather shoes, and a hat.

Jorts

Short jeans, more known as "jorts," is one of the comfiest outfits to wear on the first day of class, as it was in summer. A loose, free-flowing blouse and black tights are perfect to go with jorts. A cute blazer, if desired, could add a super preppy vibe to the look.

Actually, no matter the time of the year, a little experiment with the clothes already in the closet will spare one from the anxieties of looking fashionable at school. It is very possible to find something both comfortable and trendy. (FREEMAN)
