What kinds of clothes do college girls need for school? When thinking about what to buy and what to bring, here's one word to keep mind: practical! You can be a campus fashion icon if that makes you happy, but most students prefer to spend their time and money on other things. College life is stressful, and you're going to want to be comfortable more often than you'll want to be stylish.
大学女生应该穿什么样的衣服呢?当你想自己应该买什么和戴什么的时候,有一个词是要时刻牢记的:实用!当然如果成为大学时尚达人让你觉得很幸福,你也可以朝这个方向努力。不过大多数的学生还是喜欢把自己的时间和金钱花费在其他的事情上。大学生活充满了压力,在舒适与时尚之间,大家总会偏向前者。

The norms on how students dress differ from campus to campus. Some college campuses are more "Abercrombie" than others. In most cases, though, there's not going to be nearly as much pressure to fit in with the latest fashions as there was in high school.
学生的穿衣标准因学校的不同而有所变化,比如有的学校就比其他学校更注重"Abercrombie"这种美国年轻人的流行品牌。不过,在大多数时候,你不必像在高中时候拼命地去追求潮流。

So what kinds of clothes should you bring to college? Here are a few practical fashion tips.
那么,大学生到底应该穿什么样的衣服呢?下面是一些很实用的时尚小建议:

穿舒适的衣服

Bring comfortable clothes. 穿舒适的衣服

You may be the type who doesn't mind a little discomfort in the name of fashion, and that's fine. But there will be days when cozy clothes are a must, like during finals or the day after a nasty breakup, so make sure you have them on hand. Think T-shirts, sweats, and cozy jeans. Also, bring comfortable things to sleep in that won't embarrass you in front of your roommate, or in front of the surprise guests that pop by at 3:00 a.m.
也许你可以忍受为了时尚而牺牲一下自己的舒适度,这无可厚非。但总有一天,比如在期末考试期间或者在和男朋友分手后,你会发现自己迫切需要舒适的衣服,所以务必在衣橱里备几件舒适的服装。你可以考虑T恤、毛衣和修身牛仔裤等。同时,不要忘记备几件舒服的睡衣,它不仅使你在与室友一起的时候避免尴尬,还能让你坦然对待那些凌晨3:00中跑过来找你的朋友。

轻便的鞋子

Wear comfortable walking shoes. 穿轻便的鞋子

Unless you enjoy being miserable, this is mandatory. Ladies, please don't walk around campus in high-heeled pumps. This isn't Sex and the Cit--it's a college campus, and you're going to be walking constantly. Save the cute heels for the weekend.
如果你不想遭罪的话,这可是一件必需品。女孩子们,请千万不要穿着高根鞋在大学校园里走来走去。这里不是“欲望都市”——这里是大学校园,你是要在这里不停走动的。把高跟鞋留到周末穿吧。

容易保养的衣服

Bring low maintenance clothes. 穿容易保养的衣服

Time is at a premium in college. If it needs hand washing, don't bring it. Heck, if it needs ironing, don't bring it.
在大学生活中,时间就是一切。那些需要手洗和熨烫的衣物,通通不要穿。

适合时节的衣服

Bring weather appropriate clothes. 穿适合时节的衣服

Keep in mind that you'll be walking around campus all the time, so if your school is in a cold climate, bring a heavy coat, scarf, gloves, and waterproof boots. Wear whatever you need to keep warm even if it messes up your outfit. If whomever it is you're trying to impress likes you less with hat hair, this isn't someone worthy of your attention.
请你记住你会经常在校园里走动,所以如果学校很冷的话,一定要穿厚实的外套、围巾、手套和防水靴。尽量穿保暖的衣物,即便这会使你的形象打点折扣。如果你心仪的那个人喜欢你穿的少一点,那么这个人绝对不值得你去付出。

周末穿的衣服

Bring weekend clothes. 备些周末穿的衣服

Go ahead and bring the cute stuff. You'll probably want to save it for the weekends, though. No need to get all dolled up for your 8:00 a.m. class
尽情地买些可爱的装备吧。这些很可能在周末用得到。不过,如果一大早要去上课的话,还是不要穿这种卡哇伊的衣服吧。

不穿暴露

Don't come to class half naked. 不要穿暴露的衣服去上课

This may be appreciated by some of the male students (and professors too, sadly), but this is not the way to be taken seriously in the classroom. Save the sexy stuff for the weekends, and come to class looking a little more professional. Even outside the classroom, it can be sexier to leave a little to the imagination and show off just one feature at a time. If you wear a navel-baring shirt, wear baggy pants. If you wear a micro-mini skirt, pair it with a big sweater.
一些男同学可能会喜欢这样(很遗憾的是有些教授也喜欢),但这绝不表示你需要穿这种衣服去上课。性感的衣服还是留在周末穿吧,上课还是穿得比较正式点好。即使在课堂之外,穿得稍微检点一点,留给别人想象的空间,可能要比近乎半裸更性感。如果你穿件露脐装,就搭件宽松的裤子;而穿小迷你裙的时候就可以用松垮的毛衣来搭配。

易于穿脱的衣服

Bring clothes you can layer. 备些易于穿脱的衣服

You're going to be coming in from the cold into overheated classrooms, and in from the heat into classrooms fit for a polar bear.
你需要从寒冷的校园步入温暖的教室,也需要从温暖的环境切换到寒冷的户外。

实惠

Discover the joy of thrift shops. 享受发现实惠店面的快乐

Unless you're very lucky, you're probably not going to have the funds to maintain a chic wardrobe, so indulge your love of shopping by buying clothes at thrift stores. Most college campuses have funky used clothes stores nearby for inexpensive shopping sprees, and for selling your old clothes for a few bucks. For great bargains, also check out clearance racks and on-line sites like eBay.
除非你特别幸运,否则你很难有钱去把自己的衣橱弄得很炫。所以加油找些实惠的店面去买东西吧!大多数的大学校区都会有一些专门为廉价购物而打造的稀奇古怪的二手服装店,你还可以把自己的旧衣服拿出来换点钞票。如果你想省更多的钱,不要忘记关注清仓活动和易趣网店哦。
