Have no fear, there are plenty of ways to not freeze and still look super cute! First and foremost, you can take the advice of fashion icon Hailey Bieber and invest in a puffer jacket for the winter.

Play around with different styles such as unique materials, color schemes, or combinations! Don’t be afraid to wear something more glittery or more flirty such as mesh or a star pattern.
On days where your schedule is not filled up with more traditional college events, you may want to take a night out to go hangout with friends outside of your campus! When doing that, you might want to opt for a chic and stylish outfit that is perfect for a nice dinner or more formal night that is not partying at a frat!

You want to make sure to keep your color scheme to more neutral colors that way you maintain a more modern and mature look.
