When deciding <\/span><b>what to wear to uni<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on move-in day, you need outfits that handle lifting heavy boxes up three flights of stairs while looking decent enough to meet your new flatmates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. The Practical Jeans &amp; a Top<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go for some<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/jeans\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jeans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, your old-reliable pair (you know aren\u2019t going to torture you when you sit down) with a plain basic<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/tops\/t-shirts\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-shirt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

The Co-Ord Comfort Look<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If comfort is non-negotiable, just wear some loungewear. Maybe matching charcoal<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/trousers\/joggers\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">joggers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/hoodies-sweatshirts\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hoodie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

The Going-Out Co-Ord<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An outfit that\u2019s pre-styled? Duh. This is probably one of the easiest outfits in your suitcase when planning <\/span><b>what to wear for Freshers\u2019 Week <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nights out.

The Statement Playsuit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A playsuit is one of those pieces that\u2019ll never let you down when deciding what to wear to a theme night. It\u2019s an easy all-in-one solution you can dress up with black knee-high <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/boots\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boots<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/jewellery\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jewellery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or down with trainers and hoops.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Elevating What You Already Have<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elevating what you already have will always be the best option for freshers\u2019 themed nights. A<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/tops\/corset\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corset<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> top is always at the centre of any theme look. Pair it with some matching low-waist jeans or a mini skirt, and finish with the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/accessories\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">accessories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and props you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Wear for Flat Dinners &amp; the Day After<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recovering from a night out or hosting a flat takeaway night actually gives you some flexibility when thinking about what to wear for chilled debriefs in your flat, but it\u2019s one of those where you still kind of want to look good.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Wide-Leg Denim &amp; Crop Top<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a flat dinner, you can either do relaxed<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/jeans\/wide-leg-jeans\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wide-leg jeans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/tops\/crop-tops\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crop top<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> number. Or, you guessed it, a trusty loungewear set. It&#8217;s effortless, comfortable for chilling around the kitchen, and looks pretty good in any Insta.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. The Oversized Hoodie and Joggers Set<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When rest day Sunday rolls around, you have full social permission to lean into total comfort mode with a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/co-ords\/loungewear-co-ords\/hoodie-and-jogger-sets\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hoodie and matching joggers set<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

When deciding <\/span><b>what to wear to uni<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a lightweight<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/clothing\/knitwear\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">knit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under your jacket will do you good because it\u2019ll let you switch it up between freezing morning walks and overheated lecture halls.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Footwear: Campus = lots of walking. Probably wise to save any intense heels for getting into the taxi to the club when planning <\/span><b>what to wear at freshers\u2019 party<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> events. On a regular day though? Trainers, mini boots, and just flat boots. Basically any flat shoe.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venue Temperatures: Club venues get hot fast. When planning <\/span><b>what to wear for freshers\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> night events, keep your base layers light (like backless or sleeveless tops) and use heavy outerwear you can check at the cloakroom.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freshers\u2019 Week &amp; Uni Outfit General Queries<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do most students wear to uni?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular styles usually revolve around denim, loungewear (lol, drink every time you read \u2018loungewear\u2019), trainers, boots, pumps, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ego.co.uk\/c\/accessories\/bags\/tote-bags\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tote bags<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When looking at <\/span><b>what to wear to uni<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it&#8217;s mainly looks that are stylish and practical, so you can do up your seminars and socialise seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But tbh, people come to uni from all walks of life, bringing different styles and aesthetics to the table. You\u2019ll actually get anything from Gorpcore and Y2K to grunge and clean girl, and it\u2019s actually the best thing ever. The variety is truly unmatched.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you introduce yourself at a Freshers\u2019 party?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chill out a minute because it\u2019s really never that deep, like ever. Once you&#8217;ve sorted <\/span><b>what to wear at freshers\u2019 party<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> events, just go over the basics: ask what course they&#8217;re studying, which halls they&#8217;re staying in, or where they&#8217;re from. The easiest, least cringy way to start up a convo with anyone. You\u2019re guaranteed to meet people you click with and have things in common with.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What actually happens in Freshers\u2019 Week?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freshers\u2019 Week includes campus orientation fairs, flat socials, daytime icebreakers, and nightly events hosted by the university and local clubs. Remember it\u2019s all designed to help you settle in before formal lectures begin. So just float through everything; trust me, it\u2019ll actually be completely fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freshers\u2019 Week = clocked<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s literally it &#8211; your full week sorted without having to stress over any type of fit or worry about <\/span><b>what to wear to uni<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ever again.
