With September around the corner and uni or college steadily creeping up on you, we’re sure you’ve started to panic about what to wear to Freshers’ Week and beyond. In case you’re not in the know, Freshers’ Week is the first week of your first year and it all gets a bit crazy. This legendary week is a time for meeting new people so you want to wear something that makes you feel confident and at ease but gives the impression that you are a stand-out kind of gal whose style can steal any scene.
We’re giving you one less thing to worry about because in this article we’ve pulled together all the best ‘fits for the new terms ahead, and we’ve added a few more tips on wardrobe pieces that will solve the problem of what to wear on the first day of uni and carry you through the full year. The new academic year means new people, new parties and yes, you guessed it, new courses to inspire. From impressing your flatmates with chic casual daytime vibes to lecture theatre looks to die for, it’s all here. Let’s get started.
First day ‘fits
First impressions count, right? What to wear the first day of uni or college will be on your mind, we know. But, you are moving into a new flat, or house. We have to be realistic. You’re going to be running to and from the car carrying boxes, suitcases, and a plethora of house plants, so to start off we are keeping it practical without compromising style, with the Zip Up Jumpsuit in the coolest black. It’s sexy, sleek yet totally practical for running up and down stairs but it’s also very cute indeed so all eyes will be on you as you tote your belongings back and forth.
If that look feels a bit ‘on show’ then you could go with the option of a hoodie and jogger set. You can stroll about channelling the ash-leisure vibe whilst you get all your bits and bobs arranged in your new accommodation. Your new housemates will think you’re super sporty and you can rest easy in the knowledge that you look cool, stylish and have an all-important waistband space to inhale a pizza later on. We love the High Waist Joggers in baby pink styled with their matching Baby Pink Crop Hoodie.

First night out ‘fits
However it ends, you’re going to remember it. It’s your first night out of Fresher’s Week so let’s make a statement! Slip off the sliders and slip on the heels because we’re hitting the town, baby. We’ve got your going-out outfits sorted for you so get ready to dress to impress. For your first night, there’s only one thing for us to suggest, a mini dress of course!
Look sexy and feel sassy AF as you strut to the bar with your new friends wearing the little black dress of dreams. The Square Neck Mini Dress features stunning crucifix embellishments and thigh-high splits so your legs will be firmly on display. Get the fake tan mitt ready, babe! You’re gonna need it.
If that feels a little try-hard then hold on to the mini-dress memo but go pink and get with the #barbiecore vibe. The Dark Pink Bodycon Halterneck Mini Dress is simply stunning and the ruffles are highly flattering and leg-lengthening. You’ll need some stunning pink heels to match back with it and so why not snag a pair of the Quentin Pointed Toe Slingback heels? They are solid enough for dance floor shenanigans and sturdy enough for a stumble home.

The day after the night before
If you haven’t been very savvy, the next day you’re going to wake up and realise you have no food, but that’s student life for you. Freshers Week is all about making friends and doing things together, so it’s time for a flat trip to the shops. When you’re running errands but still want to feel confident in your fit, we’d suggest you throw on a pair of wide leg jeans and a graphic t-shirt – bonus points if it’s a real band and you actually know the songs. This fit is all about accessories so grab your sunglasses because they’ll keep you looking fierce and help you out if you’re feeling a bit hungover from last night. Our advice for sunnies that hide very ‘tired’ eyes is; go big or go home! The Flat Brow Silver Tinted Aviators are going to make a style statement in the aisle of the supermarket and send the message to your new mates that, headache or no headache you can still head out and get stuff done! You are hardcore and you know the score. Add a statement shoulder bag like the Loreen Woven Bag In Faux Leather and you have made the grade.

Theme-night beckons
Freshers Week is full of themed nights and we’re here for it! Themed nights are a lot of fun but having that many outfits can be tricky so, we suggest basing all of your themed fits around your fave pair of fierce jeans or cargos and letting your tops and accessories do the work.
Everybody’s wild about western at the moment. It may not be Texas, but there’s sure going to be some kind of ‘ho down so make sure you’ve got your cowboy hat and cowboy boots ready to mosey on down to the club. And there’s bound to be a white party, so pick up a white crop top and clutch and you’re good to go, just a word of warning, maybe stay away from bright-coloured drinks tonight or the white top might not survive the inevitable mayhem.
Finally, let your wild side out for animal night! You’ll be taking fierce to a whole new level as you slay in animal print. The Plunge Strappy Contrast Dress is a statement piece. You’ll win some serious style points with this floor-length number which features a beautiful brown animal print mesh material, thin waffled straps and sensational plunge neckline and cut-away sections. Daring? Yes!! Fabulous? ABSOLUTELY!
