The fall semester is just around the corner, and with it comes back-to-school shopping! Check out CL’s classy weekend staples to add to your wardrobe this year.
1. Boyfriend Jeans
Jeans have always been a weekend staple, but boyfriend jeans are guaranteed to keep you comfortable while chilling out on your days off. Not to mention, they are versatile! Dress them up for a night on the town by rolling up the bottom and rocking a pair of stilettos, or dress them down with a pair of comfy riding boots and a big sweater. Whatever your plans are for the weekend, boyfriend jeans are a go-to.

2. Leather Jacket
This is another perfect item for a cool fall day. A leather jacket goes well with just about anything. It can be worn with skinny jeans for a sleek, rugged look. Or you can pair a leather motorcycle jacket with a lace mini-dress for a sweet and edgy look.
3. Riding Boots
One of the most frequently worn shoes seen on campus for fall is riding boots. There are so many different styles- western, wedge, flat, etc. Create a comfy, warm weekend style with knee-high socks to wear to a football game for a casual look.
4. Short Sleeve Sweatshirt
Any time you hear the word “sweatshirt” you think automatic coziness. While it may seem easiest to throw on a huge sweatshirt with your school’s logo for the weekends, gain style points by layering a cute short sleeve sweatshirt over an oxford button down or a henley top.
5. Ballet Flats
Why wear heels when you don’t have to? There are so many chic ballet flats that are cute and cheap! Give your feet a chance to relax and find a cute pair in bright colors.

6. White T-Shirt
Ask a group of guys what they think a woman looks sexiest in and surprisingly enough, many will say “jeans and a tee”. What better excuse to rock one of our comfiest articles of clothing? A white t-shirt can be dressed up by tucking it into a pair of dark jeans with a skinny belt. Bonus points if you pair it with your leather jacket, and possibly some bonus attention as well!
Don’t let your style slack on the weekends…shop for these comfortable staples and you’ll be able to relax in style! For a few hints on what shoes to bring to school, check out Maya’s article, “Dorm Essentials: Shoes”.
