We're getting close to September and that means only one thing: the start of a new semester. So check out our Five Friday Favourites to get that cool college look.

Will you be heading back to college in the next few weeks? If so, you'll want to give your wardrobe a bit of a revamp so that you're not wearing the same old threads as last year. That's why we've brought you this cool collection of college clothes below.

First up we have a smart pair of Selected Three Paris Dark Camel Chino Pants. They would look great if you were heading into a lecture, or even if you’re just heading to the student bar for some socialising. These Selected Chinos can be yours for just €49.95 online or in store in Arnotts.

Next up we have the quintessential college piece in this Barbour Baseball Slate Button Through Sweater. This is the ultimate jock apparel that’s also an iconic campus jacket. The Slate Button Through can be yours for €180.

To go with your Selected Chinos and Barbour Slate Button Through jacket we have this trendy Firetrap Ruger Colourblock Messenger Bag in navy. This heavy-duty canvas satchel bag can be yours for only €46.

Your college look wouldn’t be complete without a long sleeve mid layer, so this week we have this cosy Minimum Cody Knit Sweater. The Minimum collection is “inspired by the urban pulse”, so it’s the perfect compliment to the rest of your college wardrobe. The Minimum Cody Knit Sweater can be yours for €90.

Last but not least we have another college essential with this Wrangler Boston Zip Hoodie. If you’re late for a lecture or for team training then you’ll want something that’s easy to throw on but still looks the part. That’s were a good hoodie comes in handy. This Wrangler Boston Zip Hoodie can be yours on the Arnotts website, or in store, for just €80.

Check out the Arnotts menswear section for more 'back to college' clothing.

Arnotts Buyers Tip:

For Autumn/Winter 2012, looking preppy has never been so edgy. With that in mind, this week’s Five Friday Favourites will have you feeling like you’re heading off to study with the rest of America’s Ivy League elite thanks to this modern take on a classic look.

In order to get that classic college look you’ll need to match heavy knit cardigans with long sleeve mid layer jerseys and softly worn grey marl garments. Applique letters numbers and team badges will instantly update jackets giving you a sporty ‘jock’ look.
