We’ve gotten some help from our Instagram followers to give you some style inspiration if you’re worried about making a good first impression. From bold neon looks to lowkey cozy outfits, we have something for everyone to ease your mind off those first-day jitters.

Scroll down below to see the outfit breakdowns. While you’re here, check out eight backpacks you can shop to pair with your new look.

1. Oversized Everything

Start off the year with a laidback aesthetic and go for oversized clothes in neutral tones to make sure you stay comfortable all day long. If you don’t want to be overly casual, layer a dress shirt under your hoodie. Black Darpana Dress COMME des GARÇONS PLAY, Vetements and more.
