Finals Week Fashion Essentials

By Amanda Tejuca on April 21, 2016

The time of year when all fashionable choices go out the window is approaching- finals week. You are sleep-deprived, hungry, and sitting down at the library all day. Your mind is on a million things and style is not one of them. Maybe you were the type of person to wake up earlier to workout, have a big breakfast, shower, put on some makeup and start the day– you know, someone who has their life together. Now, you are running into class with coffee stains on your shirt and you don’t even care anymore. This is why students during finals week are dangerous, they have lost touch with reality, and are on a coffee induced edge. They are capable of anything. Studious college student have a set of general style faux pas we all fall victim to.  These are some finals fashion essentials that you are sure to catch around campus for finals week.

1. Messy Bun

This style is an essential for every college girl on the run. There is nothing easier or quicker to throw on in the morning than a messy bun. This is crucial when there is simply no time to wash or do your hair. A messy bun says “I am one week away from being completely out of touch with reality, but I still have hope.”

2. Sweat Pants

Sweat pants and a hoodie are great for finals week because of one thing—comfort. Walking around in sweatpants and a hoodie is the closest you can get to walking around in a blanket. They are soft and cozy, and will dry your tears when you catch yourself in an existential crisis.

3. Ostrich Pillow

Maybe you can be the one to start the ostrich pillow trend in your library. These look crazy, but that’s the best part of college—no one will judge, they will just admire how smart you are. We should start a petition for napping stations at libraries, but until then, wear these for a quick nap when needed.

4. Flip Flops and Socks

Flip flops and socks are usually seen during the final days of finals week. You can spot someone in flip flops and socks after they have already taken their first few exams and are just walking through campus lifelessly. In contrast to the messy bun, flip flops and socks just scream “I have lost grip of my sanity, and I don’t know who I am anymore.” People sporting these are the most dangerous—I would not dare to cross them.
