It is perfect for men and women in almost every situation, so if you haven’t already sourced your spring jeans, this is a must-have for your wardrobe.

 


Turtle Necks

 

Believe it or not, turtle necks have spiked in popularity this spring, especially when worn under a jacket. Not only will they keep you warm on those windy days, but they will also make you look sleeker and more sophisticated.

Trench coats have been rising in popularity in the last year and have made a very trendy comeback just in time for spring fashion. They can be worn with pretty much anything and will always look amazing. With all the designs of trench coats available, there’s one for every person and style out there.

With university being potentially the first time many have independence away from home, this may be the first time you have had to plan cooking for yourself. Here are some simple recipes to make that will be easy and tasty!

 

Pasta Bake

A pasta bake is wonderful for any beginner cook and can be made with exactly what you like. Pasta is quick, easy and inexpensive, making it wonderful when trying to manage your money at Uni. Pasta can also be very easily made for multiple people too which makes it a go-to when it comes to having guests over for dinner.

The beauty of curry is it can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be. Whether you buy a premade jar with rice or make it from scratch it will always taste amazing and fragrant. With there being so many variations of curry, there is something out there for everyone to enjoy.



 

Traybake 

Traybakes are especially valuable to a student as they not only taste amazing, but they don’t require as much attention to make due to them being made in the oven. This means during your wait you could get some studying done or clean up your living space. Traybakes can also serve lots of people which means it’s wonderful when having people over for dinner.

 


 

Soup 

Soups may seem bland, however,
stored soup tins usually stay in date for a very long time making them an ideal backup for student meals. They are also very inexpensive making this an excellent meal for everyone to have at least a few of in their household.

Fajitas 

Fajitas are for those who may want something a little spicier and more interesting, they’re easy to whip up and perfect for any friend get-together. While they may seem daunting and difficult when it comes to handling multiple things to cook, they can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be.
