1. An oversized zip-up sweater that'll keep you cozy during your next study sesh. It's comfy, stylish, and *ultra* soft — I mean, what more could you possibly want?
2. A spacious 25-litre backpack that'll help you carry ~all~ the things this semester. It's equipped with a padded compartment that'll fit a 16-inch laptop and three zip-up exterior pockets that'll make accessing your smaller treasures a cinch.
3. Or a slightly smaller backpack if you don't anticipate trekking around with too much stuff this year. It's roomy enough to fit a 15-inch laptop and has two side pockets you can use for your water bottle and your favourite tumbler.
4. A pair of high-rise Align joggers that'll get you from one class to the next in ✨style✨. They're just as buttery soft as the iconic Align leggings, making them a great alternative on days when you don't want to wear something skin-tight.
5. A pair of comfy shorts you'll want to wear for the rest of the school year. They’ve got an inner gusset that’ll stop them from squishing your, erhm, bits and are made of super stretchy fabric (which you’ll appreciate if you tend to rip your pants in all the wrong places).
6. A 24-ounce tumbler that'll keep your beverages icy until your last class of the day. Reviewers say it's totally leakproof and love that it can fit in a car cup holder.
7. A pair of high-rise hiking joggers you can convert into shorts (!!!). The pant legs zip off at the thigh, making them the most versatile piece in your wardrobe (not to mention a great party trick at homecoming).
8. A trio of hand sanitizers because you'll probably want to give your digits a little refresh after touching your classroom door handles. You can keep one in your locker, one in your backpack, and one in your gym bag, too.
9. A water-repellent windbreaker that'll become your staple jacket to wear around campus this fall. It has zippered pockets that'll save you from losing your valuables, as well as a stowable hood you can fold away when you don't want it out.
10. A pair of Chargefeel workout shoes that'll make sprinting to class a heck of a lot easier. They're designed for both running and training, which you'll love if you hit the treadmill and the weight room during your workouts.
11. A pair of high-rise shorts that'll wick away sweat during gym glass. They have two secret pockets, a built-in liner for a little extra coverage, and reflective detailing that'll keep you visible on your evening runs.
12. A zip-up card holder you can use for the necessities, like your student ID and debit card. If you're sick of bulky wallets that take up a ton of space in your backpack, this thing will help you downsize.
13. A pair of training joggers you can wear from the library to the gym and back again. They're made with abrasion-resistant and water-repellent material that'll withstand even your toughest workouts (and study sessions).
14. An Align T-shirt that's so comfortable, it'll feel like a second skin. Made with the same smooth and weightless material as the Align tank, this baby will become your next go-to tee, whether you're hitting the gym or headed to a lecture.
15. A duffle bag that'll come in handy if you're going away for school this year. It has a separate shoe compartment, so you can keep your stinky sneakers away from the rest of your stuff.
16. A cargo jacket that is both water- and wind- resistant. It has a ton of pockets that'll give you plenty of room to stash your phone, keycards, and whatever else you like to keep close.
17. And finally, a pair of Wunder leggings you'll probably never want to take off. They have a drawcord at the waist to keep 'em right where you want 'em, plus a sneaky waistband pocket you can hide your dorm key in while you're out and about.
Time to channel that Lisa energy, y'all.
