Was trägt der Student von heute? – Studenten-Street-Style unter der Lupe

What does today's student wear? – Student street style under the microscope

Student styles have never been as liberal as they are today. No matter what you wear, if you follow your style consistently, there are hardly any taboos. That's why it's okay to show up with bell-bottoms, an oversized knitted sweater or a bun. As long as you know what you can combine these elegant pieces with, you will no longer be looked at strangely, but will live up to the hipster look.

When it comes to hairstyles , people are now more free than ever. On the streets of the city, everything is represented, from razor-short, to colorful, shrill and shaggy, to long mane and no one is alone in choosing their look.

However, identifying the trends in this all-and-nothing time is not that easy. Because what matters is not so much what you wear, but how you wear it.

You are not just what you eat... Find your personal student street style

Whatever your style, you should always think about what you want to convey . University is basically the perfect place to find your style, because no one really blames you if you make a mistake, and when you hit the mark, you'll get direct feedback from your fellow students and maybe even the professor.

So be experimental and try out what suits you and what you feel comfortable in. Studying is the perfect time for this. Far away from the cityscape you already know, you can see new, interesting street styles in your university town and get inspiration for your student look. Of course, it makes no sense to follow every trend. Pick what suits you, your personality, figure and type.

Let the clichés fall by the wayside...

Do you also know fellow students who come to university in a suit and tie, or give a presentation in an evening dress and high heels? One could assume that one would like to become a banker and the other a presenter for RTL. If that's not the case, you're probably dressing incorrectly.

What to wear 2016

The most important thing is that you don't dress up, because if you wear an outfit that's too fake or skimpy, no one will take you seriously.

  • A relaxed look , but not too casual, best suits your student street style.
  • The retro look with eye-catching patterns, knitwear, wool, jeans and kurts are particularly popular at the moment as materials and cuts with a mixture of conservative sex appeal.

If you don't like that, you can choose a more sporty-elegant combination. The trick here is just to combine one or two really eye-catching pieces and find a good mix of tight-fitting and loose-fitting. As a rule, you decide to choose either trousers or a skirt or shirts, sweaters, vests or jackets, while the rest is body-hugging.

Hairstyle trends 2016

As far as hairstyle trends for 2016 are concerned, the student street style focuses more on naturalness. Men shouldn't wear a ton of gel in their hair, but rather a brushed hairstyle and a beard is also allowed.

For the girls this means less chemicals, more natural colors, natural waves and natural cuts. Loose braided hairstyles are also particularly popular at the moment. They are a way to change your hair style in a variety of ways without resorting to drastic methods such as scissors and color.


Every morning we face the same terrible question: What should I wear to college?
