Discover my casual style for university – a white coat winter outfit with the snowy backdrop of Harvard University. That’s how you run errands in style!
Hey gorgeous! The Winter semester has started and I’ve already given you tons of ideas on Winter 2016 fashion trends. If you haven’t checked those already, go to Winter 2016 Trends & More. And today I wanted to post my Winter look from my university days. Harvard University becomes a gorgeous Winter wonderland this time of the year. And after a long, freezing day of snowfall and blizzards, I love to go out – sometimes to run errands, sometimes to get to the class, and sometimes to just take in the beauty of snow and do some photography.
And how to dress for a casual day when you’re out and about in the snow at your university? I say the two keywords here are – layers and cozy. The first thing you want is to be warm, and the second this you want is to be able to take off a layer of outerwear in case you need to get indoors for a class or even just a cup of hot chocolate at the cafe.
This casual style for university doesn’t really need any styling at all – if you have the right outerwear, that is. And this is a budget look (no designer items!!). White coats and jackets are my favorite and this one’s a very warm, knee-length down jacket. I paired it with a red cross-body bag and a pair of knee-high platform-heel boots with faux-fur lining.
The innerwear doesn’t show much when you’re out in the Winter, as do the necklaces or bracelets. So I like to wear statement earrings, bright scarves or soft turtle-necks. Here I wore a grey knit sweater with a layered turtleneck and a pair of cut-out silver earrings.
