Hey guys! Today, I'm here to give you a list of things you will ACTUALLY need and use your first year of college. A lot of posts that I've read for a list of college essentials last year when I was going into my first year were very in depth and contained a ton of stuff. I also (being the person I am) over packed WAY too much. So today I'm sharing with you a list of things that you actually need and the stuff you don't, so you avoid over packing like I did.
CLOTHES
For me, moving away for college was a MAJOR spring cleaning for all of my old clothes. Except I didn't realize it until after I moved back for break. I brought almost everything I owned to school, when in reality I wore less than half of it the entire time I was away.
Summer clothes:
- A few pairs of shorts
- A few tank tops/ summer blouses
- 3 dresses/rompers
- Two bathing suits
- Flip flops
- Sandals
- One pair of wedges
Fall clothes:
- 3 pairs of jeans (skinny, boyfriend, flare)
- Your favorite blouses
- 1-2 cardigans
- 1-2 flannels
- 2 vests
- 2 fall jackets
- 2-3 pairs of leggings
- Flats
- Booties
- Sneakers
- Scarves/Hats
- 1 or 2 hoodies
Winter clothes:
- 1 winter parka
- 3-4 sweaters
- 3 long sleeve shirts
- The same fall blouses you brought from before
- Winter boots
- Hats, gloves, scarves
Misc:
- 1-2 fancy/night out dresses
- 1 pair of heels
- Presentation outfit (pantsuit, trousers, pencil skirt/blazer)
- PJ's
- 1 pair of running sneakers
- Umbrella + rain boots
And seriously that's it for clothes. I am NOT kidding you- I am a major in FASHION and I sincerely did not need more than half of the clothes I brought. I think the major key is about having a lot of blouses that you can mix and match with and corresponding pants.
