Dang. It seems like just yesterday we were collectively singing Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” as the summer sun had finally shone through the bleakness of finals and internship hunting. Where has the time gone? Well, it’s probably been spent on Twitter, playing Pokémon Go, or chilling on the beach—catching a much-deserved break from the daily grind.
Unfortunately, it’s that time of year again (we won’t say the word that rhymes with “cool,” especially since it's the opposite of that), and while the first day of classes bring a tinge of doubt and worry, they’re also exciting. Not only do you get to see your friends again, but it’s an opportunity to showcase your style and stunt on your classmates with the fervor of Zeus.
Some people say the way you present yourself (through your clothing, footwear, etc.) has a lasting effect on what people think of you. So why not tap into your best you? As in, the you that you want to be known for, even if it’s slightly materialistically driven? Check out these six looks (and outfits) you can go for on the first day of classes that’ll have you turning heads.
