This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Conn chapter.

There are several wardrobe staples every UConn lady needs in her closet. Don’t be caught on campus without these items or you could be stuck in a bind.

Bean Boots

Because if you don’t own a pair of bean boots, do you even go to college in New England?

Rain Boots

For when the weather is too warm for the Bean Boots but it’s still raining.

An Umbrella

It rains a lot here, okay?

An Extra Umbrella

For when your first umbrella breaks in the wind.

Sunglasses

For that occasional sunny day, especially when the sun reflects off the snow and blinds you. (Alternate use: to block out the haters.)

Baseball Cap

Preferably a Vineyard Vines cap that you got on vacation in your cottage at the Cape.

Wind Breaker

If you’re wondering why this is essential, please read this.

UConn Swag

We all need a little (a lot) of school spirit.
