College styles - Beauty & Style

What's hot on college campuses these days is clothing that expresses individual style. Here we showcase some of the hottest looks on college campuses, modeled by real students. The looks are as varied as are the schools and students themselves. Some students adopt a rugged or grunge look (such as the jean ensemble at left) that sustains them throughout their college years, while others opt for a more sophisticated style, as demonstrated by the sassy wool pleated skirt and classy black turtle neck (right). Every student's wardrobe should include practical but fun clothing, as well as outfits that can take you to special campus events and important meetings with the dean. Whatever your college or major, express your own individuality and style.
