Top trends to take note of
The skort is your new secret weapon
Who knew a skort could be this iconic? The clever hybrid is the perfect solution for when you can't decide between looking smart or feeling casual and you don't have to flash anyone accidentally in the process. It’s a lecture hall staple that’s ready for a spontaneous night out. Don't be the only one without one.
Your makeup needs to last 16 hours
When the pre-drinks start at 6pm and you're still going at 2am, your makeup has to put in a serious shift. That's why long-wear heroes like e.l.f. concealer and Huda Beauty setting powder are flying off the virtual shelves. No one has time for touch-ups when you're busy making memories (or trying to find the kebab shop).
Comfort is king with classic trainers
Adidas Sambas and New Balance 530s are the unofficial footwear of Freshers. You need a shoe that can handle a day of campus exploring, a spontaneous society event, *and* look fire in your OOTN pic.
Don't sleep on ASOS DESIGN
This is not a drill. ASOS DESIGN is absolutely dominating the Freshers scene for affordable and on-trend pieces. From the slinky mini skort for nights out to the wide leg dad jeans for lazy lecture days, it's the perfect mix of style, affordability, and versatility. Your entire Freshers wardrobe? Sorted.
