How to dress as a graduate student

Grad student outfits of a week by portrait-of-a-girl 

Well I was trying to figure out how to dress as a graduate student, so I compiled a set of outfits to help myself. This is obviously based on my style preferences, but it takes into consideration the dress codes that a graduate student should swear by. For example, modest clothing, closed shoes, nothing too flashy.

1. This is a simple outfit with a black t-shirt paired with acid wash denims. Olive green is a very "in" color now, so I added a jacket in that shade. Also the flat ankle booties are super cool. A simple black and white tote, a watch and some eyeglasses complete the look.

2. This one has a preppier feel to it with a cream printed collared blouse and a luxe maroon pleated skirt. Tights add the necessary demureness but with a fun polka print. Brown oxfords and satchel bag are simple and elegant. Paired with a mustard cocoon cardigan, bib necklace and band ring this look is complete.

3. I love a simple knit sweater to brave the cold, especially when it is in a lovely pastel hue. Teamed with printed trousers and white ankle booties and a white infinity scarf, it creates a comfy outfit. A pastel colored bucket bag, stone ring and eyeglasses are the perfect accessories to wrap up this look.

4. For the flirty woman in you, try this nude belted skater dress which is simply paired up with a contrasting coat. Gray tights keep the legs warm with a cheeky dash of romance with the red hearts. Coral flats and a black saddle bag are all you need to finish this look.

5. Look effortlessly chic in boyfriend jeans and a gray pocket tee by throwing over a printed blazer over it. A layered metal necklace, and stacking rings pimp up the style quotient, whilst ombre sneakers make it more work appropriate. A cream oval handbag completes this look.
