College Fashionista: A Splash of Vintage Denim

This article is part of a weekly segment with College Fashionista, an online guide to the latest in college fashion. Article by Celia Hubbard.

You know that you are finally adjusting to the east coast climate when 37 degrees feels like a heat wave! This last weekend, the snow finally took a break and Boston Fashionistas everywhere peeled off those bulky layers and traded them in for some much needed lighter pieces.

When the weather is at its worst, it’s easy to get stuck in the sweatpants and UGGs slump, but there are lost of easy ways to dress up your outfit while still keeping it comfy for your morning trek to the T. This Fashionista does winter cozy flawlessly by adding a vintage denim-oversized button-down to her black leggings and Hunter rain boots, topping the whole look off with a burgundy red scarf. Mixing the old with the new can sometimes be challenging, but she shows us that a splash of vintage will keep you comfortable but looking chic as you strut your stuff down Com. Ave.

Adding a little vintage denim to your wardrobe is a great way to spice up your winter style and add something a little different to that standard leggings and rain boots outfit. More importantly, the vintage look is both an affordable style to follow and an easy trend to find out shopping! This Fashionista found her denim shirt at a second hand consignment shop, but if you don’t have the time to browse all the racks, try this Madewell shrunken chambray boyshirt paired with a pair of dark-wash skinny jeans or these black wash ankle-zip Burberry jeans. If you are looking to take denim to the next level, this Free People denim zip jacket looks great with a pair of camel pants or leggings and is a creative take on going vintage. To bring out the light blues of your denim piece, you can model after this Fashionista and add a red accent to your ensemble with this Madewell shadows & light scarf or an American Apparel infinity scarf. Stay comfy and stylish this winter season by adding some vintage denim to your look!
