Miami’s fashion scene is unique. From its bright, sunny daytime looks to its chic nightclub outfits, it can be difficult to adapt to the new style sensibilities of a city. But not every outfit needs to be a statement piece, most of the time a student’s wardrobe is composed of what is clean and practical.

These are the essentials that everyone should have in Miami, no matter what your personal style is – Vera Wang or off brand Crocs.

Living in Miami is hot.

It is inevitable that heat will rise, but it is better to face it in dri fit light clothing, also known as athleisure, rather than sweatshirts or pants.

Ashley Cohon, a sophomore, swears by athleisure clothing, especially when she walks around UM in the heat of southern Florida.

“Biker shorts, tank tops and sneakers have been my holy grails this past semester,”Cohon stated. “For someone who has to walk from opposite sides of campus to get from one class to the next, athleisure keeps me cool and comfortable.”

The intense heat of Miami brings out the bright sun.

Most UM students agree that sunglasses in Miami are a must-have. Chase Cohen, a sophomore, was not able to leave his apartment with his favorite pair of sunglasses.

“If I don’t have my sunglasses on me, I will be squinting everywhere I go,” Cohen said. “They are so essential here in Miami.”

The campus pool is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of classes.

Students can be found at the campus pool every day to cool off and take a break from classes. Make sure you have a bathing suit and flip-flops on hand.

“Going to school in Miami is the best because instead of taking a nap inside when I become tired I just lay outside by the pool and enjoy the sun,”junior Ally Joseph stated. “Bathing suits and flip-flops are a necessity for UM students.”

Although deemed the Sunshine State, South Florida’s sunny skies can darken into a major thunderstorm in a matter of minutes.

Sophomore Ethan DePalma said that his waterproof raincoat and sturdy umbrella have saved him several times from having to sit in the back of his lecture hall soaking wet from South Florida’s unpredictable afternoon rain showers.

“At UM, when it rains, it pours,”DePalma said. “Even if I don’t have my raincoat on, I always keep my umbrella in my backpack just in case.”

Jeans and nice, going-out clothing

Miami is known for its fashion, food and art. Be it in a pop-up art exhibit, along Bayshore’s waterfront or at a Michelin star restaurant, UM students express themselves around the city through their funky and unique outfits.

Aly Kirsch, a Sophomore, stated that she loves to explore the city with her friends in fashionable outfits on weekends.

“Whether it’s a downtown restaurant or a concert, I definitely recommend bringing nicer clothing to wear out because when you experience the beauty of Miami you will definitely want to take some pictures with friends and it is fun to dress up every once in a while,” Kirsch said.

Make sure you pack your fashion essentials for your move down to Miami.
