Best Dressed… on a Budget
Creating a unique look on a student budget can be a challenge. These students show us how to do individual campus style, with a loan-friendly twist.
Creating a unique look on a student budget can be a challenge. Buy cheap pieces from the highstreet and risk turning up to your lecture feeling like a clone of your peers. Spend months saving up for that expensive 'one of a kind' item and face becoming (shock, horror!) ‘last season’ in the process. These students show us how to do individual campus style, with a loan-friendly twist.

‘I’m wearing all my friends’ clothes! The cardigan is a friend’s, bought from a charity shop, and my t-shirt is one of my guy friend’s, borrowed from before I came to uni. The scarf is from an airport in India. I got the denim shirt from H&M, bag from Asos, and the boots from Gap, I think.’

‘My jacket and jeans are both off ebay. This t-shirt was my grandad’s… it sounds weird, but I found some cool stuff clearing his wardrobe after he died. Don’t worry, my grandmother did know about it! I bought the shoes from Office.’

‘This dress is actually my mum’s, so I guess it’s vintage. My nan knitted the cardigan! The bag is from Urban Outfitters. I can’t remember where I bought these tights, I’ve had them for ages. The boots are from Office.’
