Colored pants and bags cover campus

With the weather getting cooler, shorts and skirts are disappearing, and jeans and pants are starting to appear on campus more. Colored jeans have become more popular. Students can often be seen walking around campus in brightly colored pants (as I type this, I’m wearing bright pink pants). Unsure of how to pull off colored jeans? Her Campus magazine provides readers with 20 ways to wear colored jeans. A few of their suggestions include rocking a leather jacket, wearing a simple tank top, or using more accessories.

Not feeling the colored pants trend? Try wearing patterned pants or leggings. College Fashion offers tips on how to wear patterned pants (or leggings). One of their tips is if you’re trying pants with floral designs, or polka dots, or subtle details, try to keep your top half simple. They also offer suggestions on how to wear leopard print pants if you are into animal print.

What else comes in bright colors or cool patterns? Bags! Many students walk around campus carrying their school books in either book bags, tote bags, or large purses. A lot of students carry brightly colored bags to stand out. Earlier in the school year, Teen Vogue offered 100 different backpack options as part of their back to school special.

Her Campus magazine also suggests a bag from LeSportsac. LeSportsac offers multiple kinds of bags, including backpacks, tote bags, cross body bags, or even pencil cases. These bags are brightly colored with fun patterns, and are perfect for walking around campus with.

If you’re planning on going out on a Friday night, and you don’t want to bring your backpack, try one of these “going-out” purses that Her Campus suggests. These bags are perfect for going out on the weekend after classes are done.
