I fear overdressing at college?

[Anonymous]

I’m starting college in a few days and I have a fear that I might overdress because I heard that most people wear jeans and a tee or leggings and a hoodie. I on the other hand, like to dress up but I don’t know if the way I dress would be considered overdressed or make it look like I’m trying too hard. I’ll give a summary of the kinds of outfits I normally wear:
-Basic solid coloured tee or turtleneck tucked into straight leg jeans, heeled doc martens, matching belt, and matching jewelry (a necklace or bracelet)
-tight fitted solid top (not revealing) with soft pants/paper bag style/palazzo pants, and neutral block heels (small heel) or leather sneakers, and maybe some dainty jewellery
-dressier top or blouse with jeans/jeggings, and Chelsea boots

I don’t overdo my makeup or hair, I just keep my hair in its natural wave, and for makeup I just wear tinted moisturizer, blush, brow pencil, mascara, tinted lip balm, and maybe some thin eyeliner.

Does my style seem too over the top for college?

Too dressy

Just the right amount of “dressy”

People wear different clothes, there isn't one dress style that everyone wears. Some days I'll wear a dress, other days I'll wear a hoodie, most of the time I wear a lot of colour. Nothing is weird or unusual so wear what you want.

Stuck to your own style

The wired doesn't need more leggings and sneakers

Just be you.. the right people will gravitate towards you

Almost No me dresses like me , and I still have friends 😂

be covered with loose fighting clothes from head to toe and wear flat shoes ! no jewelry to loose or get stolen just a watch to keep time with so you won't be late for classes ! Thanks

Dress as whatever you want to. Back in college, I dressed with blue jeans and a T-shirt. Women dressed like that but in their own style

Most important is: Just Be You. Guys may ogle you and girls may roll their eyes. Let them. Be genuine. Don't dress for anyone but you.

Hey. So when I started college, I thought everyone was gonna dress cute all the time, and since it was like 90 degrees out on the daily, we could all wear our crop tops and jean shorts and be happy. Nope. Everyone wore only oversized t-shirts and short nike shorts. Not my style at all, I go for cute casual. I wore my normal clothes, and one day I was just wearing the absolute most casual outfit (in my opinion), a tank top and jean shorts and sandals. A girl asked me with full seriousness if I was going on a date. Apparently my casual was too overdressed.

Yes, your style will come across as overdressed. BUT, I've realized since then, if all someone has to hold against you is that you're dressed better/look better than them, who is really losing?

That sounds completely normal. People wear a variety of things

Personally I dig the palazzos. I know a girl in my college who dresses up really formally for classes, but I personally appreciate it

You'll be fine. Just be yourself.
