Top wardrobe insights based on purchases with the New Look student discount
1. Wide-leg jeans are a wardrobe staple
They're the perfect blend of comfy and cool, meaning you can literally wear them from a 9am lecture to a 9pm pre-drink without a second thought. Talk about versatile.
2. The puffer jacket is non-negotiable
Uni campuses are freezing and the weather will get colder as freshers goes on. Trust us when we say you'll regret not having a good coat (especially when you catch freshers flu). It's the ultimate shield against the 9am lecture trek and the perfect throw-on for a spontaneous trip to the shops. You will literally live in this.
3. Knitwear is your layering BFF
That awkward autumn weather can be tricky, but the cosy-but-cool aesthetic is dominating this year. That 3-hour seminar in a freezing cold room? Sorted. A cosy vibe for a coffee catch-up? Sorted. Oh, and when you inevitably get a bit hot and sweaty during your walk to your lecture, you can easily remove a layer without having to sweat through your chunky knits for the next few hours.
4. Statement boots complete the look
Knee-high boots are in this year, and they're the ultimate night-out essential. They add instant edge to any outfit and are resilient to whatever the weather throws your way this autumn.
Why New Look has your back this freshers week
Pre-night out prep just got a major upgrade. While your flatmate is still deciding what to wear, you'll be layered up and ready to go in your iconic puffer coat and trusty wide-leg jeans. No last-minute panic, just pure confidence (and warmth).
Lecture hall recovery is a real thing. Those 9ams are rough, but rolling in wearing your comfiest knitwear cardigan and leggings? That's a self-care win. You'll be cosy, focused, and actually awake (maybe).
For society events and day trips, you need looks that can keep up. Your new knee-high boots are ready for exploring. Style and practicality? Nailed it. New Look has literally every Freshers moment covered, so grab your student discount and get scrolling.
