Many aspects of college can be stressful such as classes, relationships and jobs. The last thing a student needs to worry about is what they’re going to wear every day. For guys who struggle to choose an outfit or the right style of shoes, you’ve come to the right place. These 10 items will help make every college guy a little more stylish.

1. Watch

If there’s one accessory that every guy has to have, it’s a watch. Not only are they useful for telling the time but they also go great with nearly any outfit. They add a touch of class and simply wearing one can make it appear that a little extra effort was put into his morning routine.

People who are unsure about investing in a quality watch should consider how much usage it will get. A watch is an accessory that goes with almost every outfit and can be worn daily. If the watch is high quality, it won’t need replaced anytime soon.

2. Blazer

In college, having a blazer is essential. Many occasions call for an outfit that’s a tad dressier. Whether it’s worn on a date to a nice restaurant or during a presentation in class, a blazer is always going to be a good option for dressing up without having to wear a full suit.

However, not just any blazer will work. The blazer must be fitted, otherwise it can look sloppy. If it’s too small it can be uncomfortable, and if it’s too big it will look like it came from your dad’s closet. Simply pair the tailored blazer with a nice dress shirt, tie and dark wash jeans, and you’ll have mastered the business casual look.

3. Chinos

Having a good pair of chinos in college can be a lifesaver. Just like the blazer, chinos help make an outfit classier and more professional. They’re perfect for class to make the extra effort or for a job interview.

Chinos are also versatile. They can be worn with a casual shirt, dress shirt, sweater or blazer. Complete the look with a pair of casual tennis shoes or dress shoes.

4. Dress shirt

Every guy needs a dress shirt. Even the guys who think they’ll never need a dress shirt will eventually wear it. Owning a dress shirt eliminates the rush of putting together an outfit for a date or class presentation. Dress shirts can be worn with multiple different outfits and will add a touch of professionalism.

One can never go wrong with a basic white dress shirt, but colorful dress shirts have currently become a staple item. Try a simple pattern in a light blue or a cranberry red. You’ll be sure to catch the attention of everyone around.

5. Socks

Every college guy needs a nice pair of socks. No, not white footies from Walmart, but socks that can be paired with a suit or dress outfit for an interview. Socks can be used as a way to show off personality, too. Easy going and fun guys should experiment with a unique pattern. For more serious and professional purposes, try a solid color or argyle pattern. However, make sure the socks complement the dress shirt or outfit.

6. Dress shoes

Not having a decent dress shoe can ruin an entire outfit. Wearing everyday casual shoes with dress clothing can make an outfit turn from classy to sloppy in seconds.

Oxfords, loafers, dress boots and monk strap shoes are all stylish choices for dress shoes this season. If the outfit has more blue tones, try wearing a brown style. For more neutral colors, a black shoe will help keep the look sharp.

7. Belts

Belts are a must-have for all men. They keep pants where they should be and help an outfit look complete. Not wearing a belt can sometimes be uncomfortable if one’s pants are not fitted. Also, make sure the belt matches the shoes.

8. Basic tee

One can never have too many tees. They’re perfect for everyday wear and they’re comfortable. Try a slight V-neck for a more stylish outfit. However, for people who are uncomfortable wearing V-necks, crew necks still work.

Basic tees are easily paired with jeans and casual shoes for a day of classes or a night out. Try having a variety of neutral basic tees and colorful or printed ones. However, not just any tee will do. Pay attention to the fit and design. Material that is cheap or doesn’t fit well can end up looking tacky.

9. Cologne

All guys should have at least one type of cologne. The right amount of cologne can make one more appealing or memorable. Apply a citrus-based cologne during the day and a heavy, woody cologne for night. Apply less if it’s hot. Why cologne? Because most ladies love it.

10. Hats

Hats make life a little easier for college students, both males and females. For the guys waking up for an 8 a.m. class with less than 10 minutes to spare, hair is the last thing on their mind. Throw on a baseball cap or beanie, and the problem is solved. Hats not only hide a messy bedhead but also add unique touches to most outfits. So, the next time hair is being unruly, just throw on an old baseball cap.

Comfort seems to be the main priority in many college students’ wardrobes. However, with interviews, dates and presentations commonly present in schedules, it’s important to start building a wardrobe that houses staple items for such events. These 10 items provide a good start to building a professional and versatile wardrobe.
