6 Things You Should Stop Wearing After College

1. Sorority Letters

Being in a sorority was great. It was the best. Memories that will last a lifetime. Kappa Gamma Something forever and always!

Now that you've got that out of your system, it's time to move on. Refusing to set your Greek letters aside after graduation is like refusing to take down your Christmas tree after Dec. 25.

2. Monograms

Now that you are no longer living in a building with 50 other girls with similar stuff, putting your name on everything you own feels a little unnecessary. Not that you did it out of necessity per se. You probably just thought it was a nice way to personalize an otherwise basic tote bag, throw pillow, or yoga mat. Besides, if Louis Vuitton can put initials all over everything, why can't you?

Well, because you're not Louis Vuitton. You're Louise from Vernon, Texas. And even if you weren't, logos are pretty much the lowest form of luxury anyway, which makes monograms the lowest form of personal branding. There are so many better ways to make your mark on the world than by stitching your initials onto a cheap canvas tote.

3. Wristlets

These little pseudo clutches were great when you were getting bombed at house parties and need to handcuff your bag to your wrist so you didn't lose it, but it's time for a real purse now. Besides, that little wrist strap looks cheap. It's time to invest in something a little bit more substantial.

4. Pajama Pants

Remember when you could just roll out of bed and walk around campus in your pajamas, and no one gave a shit? You professor probably felt a little disrespected by your extreme informality, but whatever, it's not like you were the only one doing it.

Well, those days are behind you. No one is saying you have to be uncomfortable, but there are lots of ways to be comfortable without looking like a lazy slob.

I know, I know, you don't care what anyone thinks. You dress for you and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off. Blah, blah, blah. No. Stop it. You're an adult. Just put on some damn pants. They can be soft and loose. They just can't be things you sleep in.

5. 

Giant Hoodies

It's not that big sweatshirts can't look cool if they are styled the right way, but let's be real, this is not really a stylistic choice you're making here. You're just continuing to do what you did in college. Not that you should feel ashamed or anything; you just need to get over this idea that comfort and style are mutually exclusive.

6. Flip-Flops

These are not shoes. They're just filthy bits of foam that make slapping noises when you walk. It's one thing when you are just shuffling around the dorm and the dining hall, but it's quite another when you're traversing a busy city. Literally every inch of New York City has been peed on by a dog, rat, pigeon, or person (if not all four). Are you sure you don't want to give your feet a little more coverage?
