Can you bring a change of clothes for your auto classes?
Style is definitely a way to stand out. I'm a freshman in college, but just the other day i got out of work and had to go to a class in my work clothes. I was wearing a nice fitted shirt, slacks, and a plain black slim tie for work. Definitely excessive for school, but when you feel like you look good, you feel confident; and you get looks. Girls will check you out if you stand out in a good way. In the winter, I wear some cashmere argyle sweaters and slacks or tighter fitted jeans. In the summer, light weight collared shirt with khaki shorts, not cargo shorts. Of course, style is all about you, it's all about what makes you confident while standing out a bit.
I dress "nicely" because it makes me feel confident, and in my eyes boosts my value and shows that I have my **** together.
