Campus style: What’s in at King’s?

As the season changes, so does style.

Every year, old fashion and lifestyle trends make way for new ones. Keeping up with all of these might seem overwhelming – but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

IN: Organisation
OUT: “Go with the flow”

This year, all colourful diaries, organisers and planners are in. Whether you like a splash of colour or jet black like me, you have all the options in the world – or at least all the options in stationery shops like Paperchase, Moleskin or Kikki.K.

Zeynep, 21, chose a bright red diary with an inspirationally sassy quote: “You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” We totally agree.

IN: Colour
OUT: The basic

To be honest, “the basic” will never be completely out but a little colour never hurt anyone. This season, it’s all about popping your outfit with a splash of colour of one item (don’t go too crazy on the pink).

Helen here, 23, combining a relatively simple outfit with edgy pink Docs, scored 10/10. She’s warm, protected from the rain, and as fabulous as Sharpay Evans could ever be.

IN: Fitness gear
OUT: Too much effort

When you’re rushing to make it to a 9 a.m., you can’t think about wearing heels – actually, the only thing you’re probably thinking about is coffee.

So why not throw on your trainers for ultimate laid-back chic? Zeynep here is wearing a smart casual outfit – with Nike trainers – and looks both stylish and comfortable because of it.

IN: The Backpack
OUT: The Handbag

When you’re carrying all your books, a water bottle (hydration is important!), your laptop and your diary, a backpack is certainly the most useful accessory. Eric, 18, chose a classic Eastpak.

Vincent, 23, chose a tribal patterned backpack. So on point.

Caetana, 18, chose a light-blue Kipling that looks both comfy and big- as if it’d carry everything.

Felicie, 21, chose a more classic/less sporty backpack and combined it with a white turtleneck (another very “in” item that I’ve also addressed in my blog). With her stylish outfit and bob haircut, she looks like a total parisienne.

IN: The bold
OUT: The nude

This season is all about the eyes. Whether you like to use a black eyeshadow all over for a smoky effect or a pinky white powder, the stage is yours.

My tip (as a brunette with blonde brows) would be to go crazy with your eyebrows and fill them in for the “bold eye” look.
