The first few weeks of college are hard for everyone for different reasons, but few anticipate how difficult it can be to navigate their school’s unspoken dress code. Everyone goes through regrettable fashion phases at one point or another.

Whether you hopped on a fleeting trend that quickly fled the scene, or you jumped the gun on reviving a past decade’s fashion before it came back into style, we’ve all been there. 

The freshman uniform alludes to that regretful freshman fashion phrase one goes through when trying to find their personal style within their school’s social scene.

Whether you’re a freshman, a senior or anywhere in between, here are some trendy, yet timeless pieces to help you avoid the “freshman uniform” on your night out in Happy Valley.

Elevated Tanks

A simple white tank top is a go-to staple to any going out fit. That said, it can feel a little underwhelming. Invest in a few elevated tanks with details that feel more personal to your style! A simple embroidery, lace trim or button detail will elevate your outfit, while still ensuring it remains simple and timeless. Pair this tank with your go-to blue jeans and a kitten heel and get ready to step out in style.
