Over the past week I have decided to go to 4 different college campuses to find out what is trending in schools around Texas. I went to The University of Texas in Austin, The Art Institute of Austin, The University of North Texas in Denton, and Texas Women's University also in Denton. It was a lot of fun to go around and see all the great styles and to be able to meet the fabulous fashionista's wearing them.
The Denim Shirt:
The most common trend across campuses was the denim shirt. This look is everywhere! It is a great basic that can be styled many different ways and literally looks good on anyone.

The Denim Jacket
This is another very popular trend I'm sure you have already seen. Like the denim shirt, the denim jacket looks good on just about anyone. It can also be styled multiple ways.

High Waisted Shorts
Its still hot here in Texas and being that the weather is so unpredictable you can never put away your summer clothes. So bare legs in the fall is always ok here. Look at all the cute styles these girls are wearing.

Sustainable versions of this trend are available at: Asos Green Room, The Vintage Twin, and Selvedge.
Sundress and Sneakers
As mentioned before with the high waisted shorts, it is still warm enough to wear sundresses. Being that there is tons of walking on most college campus, it is a great idea to pair your sundress with a cute pair of sneakers like the girls below.

Shirt Tied Around the Waist
This is a trend that I've seen a lot in fashion magazines as well as on the streets, and now at college campuses. I absolutely love this trend! This works best with a flannel or denim button-up shirt shirt.

College attire is really casual and its nice to see all the girls who are dressed casually but still look stylish. Running shorts and t-shirts is so basic and not very attractive, yet I saw tons of girls wearing this. Step it up ladies! It is just as easy to put on a cute dress and sneakers as it is to put on a t-shirt and shorts. If you need help or advice let me know and I would be glad to share tips! Or take inspiration from some of the girls shown above. And don't be afraid to check out your local thrift store for similar options.
