With a fresh year of college now in full swing for countless numbers of students around Galway, the beginning of semester brings with it certain eye-catching fashion trends.
This autumn shows students wearing looks of all proportions, colours, and styles. So, what can you expect to see on a college campus this season?
The teddy coat
Although fur coats will always be a go-to cosy jacket option for fashion lovers, another style has emerged from the depths of the fashion world in the form of a teddy coat.
Usually neutral in colour and oversized, these jackets are fluffy in nature and provide a comfortable and stylish outerwear for cold mornings rushing into college. You do not have to go far to see this trend styled by students across the county.
Leopard print
Debatably one of the key patterns for this season's autumn/winter 2018 collection, students shows their admiration for these animal inspired designs in the form of coats, blouses, skirts and scarves.
Metallic outerwear
Cannot get over the loss of the festival season? Now you can commemorate those beloved summer antics all semester long.
Let those upbeat festival emotions carry you through the year by introducing the bright and bold to your college wardrobe in the form of metallic rain macs and reflective hoodies. But, maybe leave the face and hair glitter at home for a while.
Checkered
Hopping on the nineties nostalgia fashion train, college students across the city are dressing themselves in an array of check oriented pieces.
From pinafore dresses to winter coats, this trend is hard to ignore and hard to not be a part of. With so many variations, colours, and styles it is almost too easy to find something you love in check this autumn.
Blazers
College is not all fun and games so sometimes you have to get down to business and on those days, we wear blazers, often seen comfortably styled with jeans, a T-shirt, and heeled boots, alternatively trainers, depending on your personal choice. A stylish blazer can bring an aura of maturity to a wardrobe while the relaxed jeans and T-shirt offer the toned down appearance perfect for busy college days.
