100 Examples of Collegiate Fashion

Back-to-school Outfits for Style-Savvy Students

— August 22, 2012 — Life-Stages
These back-to-school outfits will help you head back to the classroom with a polished hipster look.

From prep school blazers to classic collegiate catalogs, fall runways were studious with witty styles that drew inspiration from school-goers. Design houses like Balenciaga, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui showcased a variety of back-to-school looks. These capitalized on the hip potential of textured plaid, preppy tailoring, oxfords and a quality pair of spectacle glasses.

Uniforms can be updated with runway emphasis on Ivy League wear that is prim, proper and classroom chic. Whether you are a schoolboy or a schoolgirl, ring in the new scholastic year with bold statements from the Fall/Winter 2012 fashion season.
