With the rise of nerd/geek culture comes one handy little fashion craze that suits me – and most
aspiring lawyers to a tee. Study chic is a cute, little fashion quirk that has
been holding my eye for a long time.
((Apologies to my male readers, many of the clothes I will suggest are female cuts – but I am aiming to show agendered clothing in the style of study chic where I can))

Below are the four types of studiers and the outfits they should try out!
- The mess-maker
This person spreads their things
everywhere. It doesn't matter where they're sitting from a tiny cafe to a massive library table their things are guaranteed to be spread
from a-z every time! They're messy and for those of us who love to be
tidy, they're infuriating.
However they're also wonderful study
partners. They have a visual spatial mindset and a genius ability to
gather a mess of seemingly unrelated pieces into one superball of
knowledge. The perfect outfit for them is not skinny jeans and a jacket but a loose outfit that gives them the freedom to think without feeling restricted.
Like...
Red, Plain Chunky Knit Loose BaggyOversized Jumper Top from Amazon.com
Straight legged ripped jeans from
Zaful.
Simple black boots; like these Dr
Martens from Zappos
Of course a neat little beanie from JC
Penny, nothing like keeping warm while burning the midgnight oil!
But don't forget the piece that you can
shove all your stuff in when you head down to your favourite study
hidey-hole
- The study aesthetic
We all know this person – for those of you who don't – it's probably you. They love to make
sure that when they're studying it looks perfect. Undoubtedly, there will be an elaborate desk set up usually involving a candle, a neat set of stationary and
delicately arranged study notes.
Warning, don't be
fooled, it may look like an instagram image but the hard work is all
there. These types of people have a unique take on studying that often leaves them ahead of the game. The perfect outfit for this kind of study-person looks a
little something like this;
A warm fuzzy
sweater for the inevitable air conditioning at the library from Rotita
A relaxed white
tee and jeans; but paired with this stunning light pink necklace
((comes in multiple colours))
And a neat little
pair of grey high heeled boots these were spotted from allhpfashion.
- A little bit arty
I knew a girl like
this at my highschool and every casual day (for americans this is
where we wear normal clothes instead of our uniforms) she would wear
the most amazing outfits and her notes always reflected her fantastic creative flair. There were freehand patterns drawn all over her notes and text carefully weaved through diagrams and title banners.
Forgive me, the
fashion gene has alluded me but after a little digging I found some
unique artistic pieces that I hope will be an inspiring outfit for
those creative students!
I found these
gorgeous leggings from topatco.com;
the colours and cute design reminded me a little of the leggings you
see in mainstream stores. But the reason I chose to shout out about
this pair is that they're designed and supported by independent
artists and they're top quality. A lot of the clothes I'm
recommending today do not offer a high commission to the artists that
created them and so it's important to support the artists where we can.
Pair it with a simple scoop neck tee and some cute canvas
sneakers from Toms
- The sleep-in
We've all been
this kind of study-person before. Thankfully it's the most simple
outfit of them all, and probably the most comfortable. Roll out of
bed, plonk yourself down in your desk chair and -yes- stay in those
very comfy pajamas because at the end of the day you're studying!
It's not a fashion parade, in fact there are conflicting studies about the effect on clothes on your productivity. In the end it's just like study methods – whatever method helps you the most is the way that you should choose.
But if you're not sure – I've made a little quiz to help you find out what type of studier you are!
