We might be deep into the school year already but it’s never too late to switch things up in style. For a stylish look that can never go wrong, there’s always the university aesthetic to rely on. It never goes out of style, as alumni pass down the look to freshies as each academic year passes by. Here are a few style tips on how anyone, from new students to the young at heart, can rock the university aesthetic to keep feeling young, wild, and free.

Comfort is key

One of the most vital parts of rocking the university aesthetic is keeping things comfy. After all, a student endures long days of lectures, taking tests, writing essays, and studying. To keep up with things, students rely on wearing breathable fabrics like cotton, soft knits, or linen to allow them to move freely and feel breezy throughout. A cozy sweater can also go a long way, perfect for a seamless transition from the classroom to a casual night out with friends.

Rock the letterman jacket

Nothing screams more university vibes than the letterman jacket. In the US, letterman jackets are among the highest forms of recognition for students playing on the varsity team. A giant letter, usually the school’s first letter or initials of the school, is sewn onto the front of the jack-
et to showcase school pride. Sometimes patches are added to the sleeves to show off any victories the student has acquired. In the Philippines, letterman jackets are often sold as school merchandise so students can support the school while being proud of their alma mater. This makes it simpler for anyone to find. Just pick your school of choice and chances are they’ll have variations of letterman jackets for you to choose from.

Addsome flair

For most schools, the implementation of a school uniform means students look for other ways to stand out from the crowd. Often, this comes in the form of adding some flair to your everyday fit. Think friendship bracelets, statement jewelry, scarves, and crazy socks. You can go the extra mile and have such items customized with your name on them or add in any quotes or initials that make what you wear uniquely yours. Don’t be afraid to be flashy!

Where to keep the things you might need

In university, you never know what you’ll need. Backpacks and large bags are the way to go, allowing anyone to store whatever you need to be prepared for your next class. A bag like Longchamp’s Le Pliage handbags and tote bags offer enough space to keep all your essentials. Plus, it’s stylish too!

For those looking to rock the university aesthetic, Longchamp’s summer-to-spring release focuses heavily on the fashion culture of the ’70s and mashing it together with Gen Z ideals. It takes heavy inspiration from the university and student life vibe through its Longchamp University identity. Longchamp is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, and Greenbelt 5. Rustans.com
