I completely and utterly agree. Thank you for posting up this argument that I have been longing to talk about. I just don’t understand what the attraction of looking like a complete bum is. Can someone please explain? I swear that I see the majority of the people at school wear their sweatpants, Uggs, and Northface jackets everyday; Don’t forget the oh-so-chic messy side pony tails. COME ON! Most of the girls that I see wearing these crime outfits are so stunningly beautiful but don’t want to take the time to get ready in the morning, instead rolling out of bed is the easiest choice. Isn’t this a matter of personal hygiene? This awful epidemic has effected guys nearly as much as the girls. I hate seeing guys in sweats even more than I hate seeing girls in sweats. Please please please stop this nonsense and just attempt to look pretty!

I’ve frequented the halls of my high school in sweatpants many times & looking back I realize that taking a few extra minutes in the morning to throw on a cute outfit once in a while really wasn’t that bad. This coming fall, I’m going off to college & I would really like to spice up my wardrobe, not to mention the fact that I will be a Theatre major, I would really like some cute outfit suggestions.

I believe that a stylish girl is always stylish no matter what she wears.I like dressing up but that doesn’t mean I can’t wear sweatpants.This is 2010. Sweatpants are not grey or black and baggy to make you look like a boy or a sweaty basketball player.I wear velvet sweatpants, in bright girly colours, with gem stones or fur.It depends on my mood and I like variety.One day I wear skinny jeans and heels and the other Juicy Couture sweatpants.Look at Eva Longoria, she has the ability to wear sweatpants and look sexy, athletic, casual chic and stylish. IT depends on you and how you wear it.remember : ‘the dress doesn’t make the girl, the girl makes the dress”

When you go to class, it really is important to dress in a way that creates a good impression. This is especially true if you go to a small college where the professors and TAs know your name. Why not look as smart and chic as possible? Also, though this isn’t mentioned in the article, try not to wear plunging necklines… they tend to make older professors uncomfortable.

I think that a few of you are missing the point of this article! This is one idea about what you could possible wear to class. It doesn’t mean that you have to go out and dress exactly like that to be taken seriously. But I totally agree that I personally feel better about myself and find it easier to concentrate when I am clean and tidy. If that’s not what works for someone esle that that’s cool. That’s the whole point of fashion isn’t it? To dress the way that you want to and express your individuality?
P.S. I absolutely love this site – you have some great articles!!

Obviously a lot of controversy over this article.. I’m not going to call you a bad person like some, but in my opinion this one’s a little unrealistic. For one thing, sweats and Uggs or tennis shoes are much more comfortable than jeans and flats and when you’re walking a mile or so to get to class that matters! Almost all of my flats give me blisters if I walk as much as I have to to get from one side of campus to another. Also, you make it seem as if you’re going to get judged if you walk into a class in sweat pants when, in reality, if I walked into any of my classes rocking that Charlotte Russe dress you posted is when I would get those looks. You don’t show that much skin for class. I’d like to argue you can look just as cute in some Juicy or Victoria secret sweats.

I agree about not wearing pajamas to class, but I certainly don’t think sweatpants in public is a crime. Sometimes I have class right after dance class and I have to go in my dance clothes (I throw on a skirt over my leotard, of course) because there’s not enough time to change clothes and get to class on time, and I don’t believe in being late to class! My pink ballet tights under my skirt aren’t what I’d wear for a night out, but part of being in college and trying to do everything means that you can’t always take the time to get dressed up for class. So while there’s nothing wrong with dressing up, you shouldn’t be so quick to judge those who don’t. Maybe that girl in sweatpants is coming from yoga because she’s taking better care of herself than the girl who spends the morning sitting in front of the mirror!

While I agree that sweats are sloppy and should not be worn to class on a regular basis, there are certain instances in which they are acceptable, such as when you’re sick but don’t want to miss out on an important class, so you just throw something on, go to class, and come back and take a nap. Or if you’ve been up studying, and it’s exam week. Other than that, yeah, sweats are ultramessy. I also agree that jeans are the most-weared item in my wardrobe!

I’m definitely all about sweaters, too. I’m more of a pullover girl than a cardigan girl myself. I tend to find them cozier. I have a really cute grey and white striped one on right now.

i have to admit, i do wear a north face and uggs at my college. north face jackets are good transition jackets in the fall and spring, and uggs make sense to me because i have to walk a long distance in 10*F weather in the winter. however, i will not wear them together because that is what everyone does. i like to dress up my fleece with a scarf and will wear mocs or flats with it. i usually wear my chestnut uggs with a cropped black peacoat. everyone wears them together and i hate seeing clones on the elevator, so i try to keep these two peices seperated. i just can’t let the two of them go!
