If you haven’t decided on your first-day outfit or mapped out your looks for the first week, here are 20 stylish ideas to inspire you!

CUTE WINTER LOOK WITH SKIRT

A cute winter look with a school skirt that combines warmth and style in an easy way. Pair a cozy knit sweater with a solid or wool mini skirt. Finish the look with knee boots or a trendy scarf to keep you warm but still look stylish in colder weather.

HAPPY SPORTY LOOK

Here’s a fun athleisure look for school that blends comfort and style, perfect for active days. Start with solid joggers or leggings and a lightweight zip-up hoodie for a bright outfit. Finish it off with trendy sneakers and some fun accessories to add your own touch while staying ready for any adventure!

MOM BLUE JEANS

Mom blue jeans are a versatile choice for a school outfit, offering both comfort and a relaxed fit. A trendy cropped sweater or a classic tee complements them for a laid-back yet stylish look. Adding fashionable sneakers and a crossbody bag completes the ensemble, making it perfect for everyday wear.

GREY SWEATPANTS

Grey sweatpants are a cozy and stylish option for school wear, providing comfort for long days. Pair them with a matching hoodie or a tight T-shirt for a balanced look that is both comfortable and polished. Complete the outfit with trendy sneakers and a backpack to stay comfortable while still expressing your personal style.

COZY JACKET

A cozy jacket is an essential addition to any school outfit, offering warmth and style as the seasons change. Choose a fleece-lined or denim jacket to layer over a simple tee or hoodie for a chic yet casual look. Pair it with jeans or leggings and your favorite sneakers to create an effortlessly cool ensemble that keeps you comfortable throughout the day.

OVERSIZED SWEATER AND LEGGINGS

Ah, the classic “I woke up like this but still look fabulous” outfit. An oversized sweater with leggings feels like a cozy hug all day long. Go for a chunky knit in a neutral color for ultimate comfort and style. Pair it with knee-high boots, and you’ll be all set for that 8 AM class. Pro tip: Choose fleece-lined leggings for added warmth—your legs will definitely thank you

PLAID SKIRT AND TURTLENECK

Embrace your inner Cher Horowitz with this preppy-chic look. A plaid skirt paired with a fitted turtleneck gives off major “smart cookie” energy. Keep warm by layering with cozy tights or knee-high socks, and top it off with a blazer for extra warmth and a dash of sophistication. Who says you can’t ace your chemistry test while looking like you stepped out of a ’90s rom-com?

PUFFER VEST AND JEANS

Let’s talk about the unsung hero of winter fashion: the puffer vest. It’s like wearing a cozy sleeping bag in public without any judgment. Style it with your favorite jeans and a long-sleeve tee for a look that says, “I’m ready for anything—whether it’s a pop quiz or an impromptu snowball fight.” Bonus: The pockets are perfect for stashing hand warmers. You’re welcome!

SWEATER DRESS AND KNEE-HIGH BOOTS

Who says dresses are only for summer? A sweater dress is basically a cozy blanket, but make it fashion. Pair it with some stunning knee-high boots for a look that’s both comfy and chic. If it’s extra chilly, throw on some thick tights for warmth. It’s the ideal outfit for days when you want to look stylish but still feel like you’re wrapped up in bed.

LAYERED TURTLENECK AND DENIM JACKET

Layering is essential for winter fashion, and this combo is a total winner. Start with a turtleneck (your neck’s new best friend), then add a denim jacket, and voila! It’s like wearing a cozy hug, but with a cool edge. Throw on some jeans and sneakers, and you’re ready for the day. Pro tip: Keep a beanie handy for those extra chilly days. Bad hair day? Not anymore!

CROPPED SWEATER AND HIGH-WAISTED PANTS

Who says you can’t show a little skin in winter? A cropped sweater and high-waisted pants strike the perfect balance between cozy and chic. Opt for a thick, chunky knit to stay warm, and style it with wide-leg trousers for a look that says “fashion editor on a coffee break.” Finish it off with ankle boots, and you’ll be strutting through those school hallways like it’s your own personal runway.

SHACKET AND JOGGERS

Let’s talk about the shacket—the perfect blend of a shirt and jacket that’s become a fashion must-have. Style it with joggers for the ultimate comfy-cool vibe. It’s basically like wearing pajamas to school, but totally acceptable. Throw on some chunky sneakers, and you’re set for whatever the day brings.

SWEATER VEST AND BUTTON-UP

Channel your inner grandpa (but make it fashion) by layering a sweater vest over a button-up shirt. It’s preppy, cozy, and the perfect way to look smart while staying warm. Add some jeans and loafers for a look that says, “Yes, I did finish the extra credit assignment.” Push up your sleeves for that effortlessly cool vibe. Glasses are optional, but highly recommended for maximum scholarly style.

TEDDY COAT AND SKINNY JEANS

Wrap yourself in a teddy coat and enjoy the sensation of being embraced by a very stylish bear. Combine it with skinny jeans for a sleek silhouette. This outfit is ideal for those days when you want to feel like you’re still in bed but need to adult. Slip on some ankle boots, and you’re ready to take on the day!

TURTLENECK DRESS AND OVER-THE-KNEE BOOTS

Want to feel like a total boss babe? Slip into a turtleneck dress and over-the-knee boots. It’s sleek, chic, and warm—what more could you ask for? If it’s particularly chilly, add some tights and throw on a long coat for maximum drama as you walk into class.

COLORFUL PUFFER JACKET AND LEGGINGS

Who says winter has to be all doom and gloom? Brighten up those dreary days with a colorful puffer jacket. Style it with leggings for a look that’s part “ready for the gym” and part “human ray of sunshine.” It’s like wearing a mood booster, and you’ll never lose your friends in a crowd again!

FLANNEL SHIRT AND CORDUROY PANTS

Nothing says “cozy winter vibes” quite like a flannel shirt and corduroy pants. It’s like wearing a warm hug all day long. Roll up the sleeves of your flannel for a laid-back look, or button it all the way up for extra warmth. Add some combat boots, and you’re ready to take on the world (or at least that group project). Fun fact: Corduroy pants create a satisfying “swish” sound when you walk. Instant ASMR, anyone?

SWEATER BLAZER AND PLEATED SKIRT

Want to look put-together without sacrificing comfort? Meet the sweater blazer. Team it with a pleated skirt for a look that’s part academic chic and part cozy queen. Add some warm tights and loafers, and you’ll be ready to ace that presentation (or at least look like you know what you’re talking about)!

TURTLENECK SWEATER AND LEATHER SKIRT

Want to mix cozy with edgy? Try a soft turtleneck sweater with a leather skirt. It’s like your top half is ready for a nap, while your bottom half means business. Add some sheer tights and ankle boots for a look that’s part “I’m here to learn” and part “I might head to a concert later.” Word of caution: This outfit may inspire you to strike poses in reflective surfaces. Embrace your inner model!

LONG SLEEVE SWEATER DRESSES

Long sleeve sweater dresses are a cozy and fashionable choice for school, providing warmth and style in cooler weather. These dresses can be easily dressed up or down, making them versatile for various occasions. Combining them with ankle boots or sneakers and a denim jacket creates a chic yet comfortable look that’s perfect for everyday wear.

CONCLUSION

Winter doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. With the right pieces and a little creativity, you can create adorable and cozy outfits that are perfect for school. From classic sweaters and jeans to trendy puffer coats and boots, there are countless options to explore. Remember to layer up for warmth and don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors and textures.

From the soot-rimmed eyes of ancient Egyptians to the lead paint used by the Elizabethans, the pursuit of beauty through cosmetics has a long history. However, this experimentation doesn’t always yield favorable results. The subreddit ‘Bad MakeUp Artists’ serves as an excellent showcase for these mishaps.

Since its inception in 2017, this online community has grown to 568K members who actively share images of both everyday individuals and celebrities sporting glaringly obvious fake lashes, overly sculpted brows, and mismatched foundation shades.

Oh Dear

Makeup expert Jane Cunningham, known on Instagram as @britbeautyblog, emphasizes that mastering the basics of makeup isn’t as difficult as it seems. “Makeup textures and formulas have come a long way so they’re easier than ever to use,” she shared with Bored Panda. “There’s a big difference between being decent at makeup and excellent at makeup, but most of us can scrape by with adaptable products such as lip and cheek crayons.”

She also notes the rising popularity of sheer looks and a “less is more” philosophy, which is perfect for beginners. “A good example would be that if you’re not confident applying foundation, try a tinted moisturizer instead — there’s less pigment and far more leeway for good blending and a glowy finish.”

Cunningham asserts that the key distinction between experts and amateurs lies in the process. “Pros are taught in a very particular and meticulous way that gives them a foundation of knowledge on which to expand. Once you understand skin tones, textures, and effects, you can experiment with layering and enhancing,” she elaborated.

She provides an example: “A good example might be that it takes most of us a couple of moments to apply eyeshadow or lipstick, but a pro can be there for a long time working with the colors to get them absolutely perfect.”

“A happy amateur enjoys applying the product, enjoys the finished result but isn’t looking at their work with an MUA eye, so mostly won’t see that the results aren’t technically perfect. Which is fine!” Cunningham explained.

She also highlighted the importance of versatility: “A huge difference between amateur and pro is that MUAs can create perfect makeup on anyone; amateurs can often only create looks on themselves.”

When it comes to mistakes, Jane Cunningham shares a perspective akin to that of the late Bob Ross. “It’s still quite easy to go wrong with foundation tones, but it’s hard to say what’s a mistake and what’s a happy accident,” she noted.

Cunningham emphasized the evolving nature of makeup styles: “Makeup looks have never been so unregimented. Personally, I don’t love huge lashes or a lot of highlighter, but that’s only my preference. If it’s making you happy, it’s not wrong!”

“The only ‘wrongs’ I think can be ignoring hygiene around application, or as a pro, not following your client’s wishes and going with what you think is best,” Cunningham stated.

She added, “I’ve seen a couple of practice bridal looks recently that really didn’t hit the brief, and I’ve ended up doing the makeup myself on the day for one of them.”

If you’re just starting out, it can be beneficial to focus on certain skills that will significantly enhance your look.

Cunningham emphasizes the importance of blending: “If all your layers (primer, base, blush, bronzer, highlighter) are seamlessly blended, then it just looks effortless. If you can pick up anything from online tutorials, focus on blending,” she advised. “After that, it’s easier not to go wrong.”

She also mentions liquid liner: “Oh, and liquid liner! [Although] I’ve never mastered it and fully believe that some people are never meant to make it happen (i.e. me!),” the beauty content creator confessed.
