Major: Art History, Visual Arts and French
Age: 19
Why we love the look: In addition to her stripes-on-stripes and neon extras, Krista says that when it comes to finals, "dresses and maxis are you're best friend, because they're so comfy and you still look cute."
9/18Gina Ciancone
School: Columbia
Major: Architecture
Age: 20
Why we love the look: Jeans and a tee are an easy fallback when you're experiencing exam-induced exhaustion, but a bold layering piece (like Gina's blazer that used to be her mom's!) makes a simple ensemble stand out.
10/18Shriya Manian
School: Columbia

11/18Noel Duan
School: Columbia
Major: Anthropology and Art History
Age: 21
Why we love the look: Even though these pieces are super stylish, the silk pants and slinky blazer are totally lounge-worthy, should your studying schedule allow for a quick catnap between classes.
12/18Toby Milstein
School: Barnard
Major: History
Age: 19
Why we love the look: Don't let the dreary spring weather hinder your study plans! Head to the library in a colorful rain jacket that will keep you covered—and cute.
13/18Sonia Dave
School: NYU

17/18Melanie Bryan
School: Barnard
Major: Art History

School: NYU
Major: Marketing and International Business
Age: 22
