Summer may be officially over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep the vibe going while following the dress code. Here are some season-prolonging fashion trends to tie into your school uniform.
Oversized Polos:
While you may be trying to evade them after being your only option for years, polos are actually a timeless piece you can dress up or down. Find alternate materials to give your school outfit a different appearance—cotton or jersey. If you’re wondering where to acquire a good oversized polo, you could look to your father or older brother(s). Or try the colorful fun ones at Ralph Lauren and Vineyard Vines.
Sambas:
Don’t break out the Uggs just yet! Adidas Sambas are a perfect transitional shoe. With periodic reissues and collabs with designers and artists, the Samba remains relevant in today’s sneaker culture. Its name pays homage to its Brazilian roots, referencing the nation’s famous dance and soccer culture. This sporty sneaker comes in varying colors and designs that can be as versatile or as much of a statement as you need them to be. If you’ve been at GA long enough, you know the restrictions of having to wear only white shoes— why not take advantage of high school and step out?
Collared Button-Ups:
For enthusiasts for the preppy aesthetic, these are perfect paired with a kilt. Similar to the polo, button-up shirts can be worn in varying sizes to deliver a different look to your outfits. Cool brands for button-ups in basic colors or in unique patterns are Abercombie & Fitch and American Eagle. For those looking to try something new, branch out into the cousin of the polo and see if it’s suitable for you!
