Top marks for Topshop

Starting college is extremely exciting for many different reasons; moving out of home, making new friends, joining clubs and societies and most importantly, no more school uniform!

In secondary school all we want to do is wear our own clothes to school and express our individuality. We take for granted the convenience of a school uniform. In college you will have to get used to getting up that extra few minutes early every morning to pick out what to wear. The good news is, anything goes! College is the time to throw out the rule book and express yourself! Topshop's new autumn line has everything you need to get your wardrobe college ready. 

The first thing you need is a warm jacket. Chances are that you will have to walk to college so it is essential that you have a warm jacket for those chilly winter mornings. From duffel coats, to leather jackets, Topshop has a wide selection to choose from.

Warm footwear such as a pair of leather ankle boots are also a college staple. Your feet will be dry and stylish and you will be the envy of all your peers.

Round neck jumpers, denim shirts, skinny jeans and slouchy t-shirts are also all very handy wardrobe essentials as you can mix and match them and create numerous different outfits. 

A satchel or large hold-all is a stylish alternative to a school bag. You won't require as many textbooks as you had in secondary school so you needn't worry about not having enough space! 

College life and social life go hand in hand. Luckily, Topshop's autumn line is full of dresses, playsuits, blouses and more so choosing your perfect party outfit shouldn't be a problem. 

Call in to Topshop on Opera Lane, Cork or check out the website for a look at the new Autumn line. And remember, now that you're a college student you get 10% off! Win win!
