The good thing about Tommy Jeans is you can literally live in their clothing range. The brand is a hero label for wardrobe essentials, remaining smart- casual but with a stylish edge. Definitely, catering to a more youthful demographic the Tommy Jeans collection is great for your student wardrobe, whether you are looking for boys, girls or unisex clothing.
Generally, the Tommy Jeans sizing is true to size, but you can use the size guide to make sure you're getting the type of fit you are after.
#2 Wood Wood
Copenhagen cool brand Wood Wood is perfect if you're looking for men's essentials. Wood Wood is the perfect student brand, mainly because its clothing range is very much an all-year-round option. Their Wood Wood Double A specialises in those branded logo pieces that you can wear from the lecture theatre to a night out.
Covering all categories you can check out their size guides to help you find the perfect fit. Overall the fit was true to size, the model was 6'2 foot and he wore a large.

#4 Calvin Klein
We couldn't miss out on Calvin Klein especially when their underwear for both boys and girls is a cult essential. Calvin Klein is great for that athleisure style, sport-inspired loungewear and basics. The brand is not only on trend throughout the year, but there are also high-quality jackets and jumpers for the colder weather.
Designer Footwear
#1 Dr MartensDr Martens are the secret weapon to every student's wardrobe because you can keep them forever. Dr Martens can seem like a big investment but anyone that owns a pair will tell you can wear them to class, nights out, meals, festivals - literally anything on your calendar!
You will need to wear your Dr Martens in which is a process, they are firm and sturdy so sometimes you need to soften them to your foot shape. They are extremely hardwearing which is why so many people wear them for years and years and if you ever fall out of love with your docs, they always hold their money if you want to resell them. They are true to size but if you sit in the middle of sizes or need more room in a boot, definitely size up.
#2 UGG
Whether you are looking for a classic UGG boot or one of the UGG slippers, this brand is the ultimate student vibe. With a huge range, there is a pair for everyone and their different styles. Comfort is key with the UGG brand and especially as you head into the colder months and you want to be cosy in and out of the house.
#3 Vans
A classic favourite amongst students, as you head back to term why not get a fresh pair to smarten up your wardrobe? Vans are the heritage trainer brands renowned for their subculture influencers and skate background. Acting as the perfect everyday shoe, they are comfortable with a laid-back style and they don't break the bank. Vans are true to size but use the size guide to find the right fit for you.
