These Cali-Cool College Looks Will Add Some Sunshine to Your Winter Wardrobe
1/25There’s no way we could forget the Golden State when it comes to amazing on-campus style. From UCLA and to Stanford, Cali’s home to some of the country’s most prestigious colleges. But just how do they stack up when it comes to fashion?
With major It girl ease, we learned. Daytime ensembles feel slightly beachy but still collegiate, for an ideal equation of casual meets oh-so cool. Our favorite looks bridge the gap between summer, fall, and winter. Everything has an autumn vibe, but retains warm weather spirit! Even outside of CA, the latest industry collaborations are majorly in sync with that mentality. In just the last few weeks, Suno, Madewell, and Soludos have all released tropical-inspired items.
The bottom line? Even if it’s snowing where you are, any outfit can benefit from an extra shot of sunshine year-round.

Oversized clothing done right is 100% awesome. An exaggerated top and jacket look just right worn with fitted pants.

Mixing prints is an art and this student has it down to a science. A floral dress looks sweet worn with big bold plaid with a hoodie in between.
