It’s never too early to start planning your wardrobe when classes start back up. Everyone likes making a good first impression with new classmates and professors, and a well-composed, bold or unique outfit can do just that.
If you don’t consider yourself a fashionista, or if you’re feeling short on inspiration, these websites will do just the trick.
These bloggers and writers include links to clothes they’re wearing, which removes the always stressful and overwhelming process of searching for new clothes on the inter-webs. Below are three male-oriented blogs, three-female oriented blogs and three non-gender specific fashion blogs.
Be sure to include some of your favorites in the comment section below!

This website offers a unique perspective on men’s fashion — because unlike most, Style Girlfriend is run by, you guessed it, a woman. If you’re a guy that’s trying to impress your female classmates, there’s no better source of advice than another woman.

Are you someone that’s interested in knowing what celebrities like Jay-Z, David Beckham, Kanye West are wearing? If so, this is the go-to spot. UpscaleHype may work more effectively as a source of inspiration, as opposed to a site for buying clothes (it’s called Upscale for a reason.)
