Outdoorsy Collegiate Fashion

Nasty Gal's Latest Lookbook Has People Covered for Back to School

This is about the right time for people to start planning out what kind of back to school wardrobe they would like to have; Nasty Gal's latest lookbook is full of outdoorsy collegiate fashion inspiration that many people will be attracted to. Edgy, bohemian and perfect for fall, it was inspired by Jack London's sophomore-year read, 'Call of the Wild.'

Titled 'Fall Of The Wild,' the outdoorsy collegiate fashion lookbook is full "of cool vintage finds (that you can purchase on the site) and moody autumn wares for an ethereal, punk effect," as Refinery 29 puts it. Although shot outdoors, the looks are easily appropriate for a city setting. In fact, the location was most likely chosen to further the influence of the novel it was named after more than anything.
