Top wardrobe insights

1. Wide-leg jeans are a wardrobe staple

They’re the perfect blend of comfy and cool, meaning you can literally wear them from a 9am lecture to a 9pm pre-drink without a second thought. Talk about versatile.

2. The puffer jacket is non-negotiable

Uni campuses are freezing and the weather will get colder as freshers goes on. Trust us when we say you’ll regret not having a good coat (especially when you catch freshers flu). It’s the ultimate shield against the 9am lecture trek and the perfect throw-on for a spontaneous trip to the shops. You will literally live in this.

3. Knitwear is your layering BFF

That awkward autumn weather can be tricky, but the cosy-but-cool aesthetic is dominating this year. That 3-hour seminar in a freezing cold room? Sorted. A cosy vibe for a coffee catch-up? Sorted. Oh, and when you inevitably get a bit hot and sweaty during your walk to your lecture, you can easily remove a layer without having to sweat through your chunky knits for the next few hours.

4. Statement boots complete the look
