The first day of class is always exciting — new schedule, new friends, and most importantly, new clothes. Come every new school year, you’ll find me combing through my closet to pick out the perfect outfit. You know, the one that says “I’m super cool and trendy but without trying too hard”. To make things a little easier this year, I decided to turn to the stars for help.
Astrological signs can say a lot about a person’s personality, so it makes sense that they could also have some pull in a person’s personal style. Rather than spending hours trying on first-day outfits, use this guide to let your zodiac sign determine what to wear on the first day of classes.
