College Staples For Winter



If you already go to American University or have been there for the winter, chances are you already own these winter staples. But if you haven't had a winter here yet, better head out and grab these and make them your own for the cold months!

1) The black Northface. Wear it to class before it gets too cold, or choose it as a lightweight jacket to wear over your going out clothes. Get it at:

3333 M St, Washington - (202) 298-5510
or order online at www.thenorthface.com



2.) Leggings. At least one pair of black leggings is necessary. Useful for going to the gym, hanging around at home, going to class, or wear them out with a classy top for a sexy going out outfit.

Get a pair at American Apparel:

3025 M Street NW

Washington, DC

(202) 572-016



3) Fringe Scarf. They come in a million different colors, are long, soft and comfy and a very normal thing to see girls wearing on and off campus.


Get one at Nordstrom's Junior Department


7111 Democracy Boulevard

Bethesda, MD - (301) 365-4111




4) Ugg Boots. Wait, not any Ugg boots. The short or tall classic sand colored boot.


Get them at Nordstrom or www.uggaustralia.com




5.) A classy pair of skinny jeans. Seven for all mankind, Citizens of Humanity, Rock and Republic, True Religion, Hudson.. any of these will do. And although they might be a bit of an investment, if you buy them at Nordstrom they will tailor them for free! And these jeans will last years. Dress them up or wear them with Uggs and a northface jacket.


Get them at Nordstrom
or Neiman Marcus

5300 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington - (202) 966-9700
