Fashioning your way in campus

By Norfatin Amirah Abd Hadi

Fashion gives expression to your inner self; it is about your personality and thought process. It is a great fun at the same time to be able to enjoy the fashionable dressing and trendy styling while you are engaged in your overall learning and growing up process at the campus. Moreover, one of the best things about campus life is that you can view a diversity of fashion trend and best-dressed among the campus community.

The key trend that is popular among both men and women is to dress comfortably and match the clothes for the class, for working, and for the special event. However, there are also a few people around the campus who may be dressed in impractical clothes but they are the exceptions and considered as not following the rules. Furthermore, the staffs, students and workers are the common group of people who are found in the campus.

There is a difference between campus fashions and other fashions outside. The campus styles need to be restricted in accessorising, have specific times to wear formal or informal, and every campus has its own dressing environment that are followed at campuses around the country.  In whatever way the basic level of fashion or style actually depends on the individual. As long as the combination of the clothes has been put together appropriately and the wearer can carry it confidently.

Equally important is that the campus fashion doe not suit everyone. There could be a new fashion or trend that suits one person tremendously but may not look good on another person at all. Particularly at campuses it really depends on the way you carry yourself’ and the attitude that goes along with whatever you wear. Some students have the natural confidence to be innovative and set a new trend of their own. It means that they love to be their own self and create a new highly original style statement of their own. Therefore, anyone who is willing to experiment with fashion is able to define a unique identity for herself in terms of appearance and style. I will consider the appearance for the campus community based on how to apply makeup, wear shoes and, bags.

Here are a few of suggestions the campus female community needs to do:

How to apply Natural Makeup:
