Tips: Packing your fashion to a foreign campus

Find outfit inspiration when you are packing. This will also help you see what is appropriate to wear there, as well as what is in style. So,if you are studying abroad in China, find more Chinese college styles and street fashion styles: Beijing Street Style; China Youth Watch
2. Don't bring anything you have never worn!
The last thing you want is to waste space on something that ends up being uncomfortable, ill-fitting, or simply unnecessary. Try everything on before you go.Be sure to stock up on your favorite brand name beauty products, as they may not be available overseas.
3. Bring along plenty of accessories
For example, jewelry, scarves, hats, and hairpieces–since you cannot bring lots of clothes, these will allow you to add something new and different to your looks.
