Move-in day is almost here, Cyclones! Between packing boxes, decorating your new space, and getting ready for a new semester, make sure your Iowa State wardrobe is ready for life in Ames.

The Iowa State Move-In Must-Haves Collection includes everyday tees, comfortable crewnecks, and campus-ready styles made for unpacking, meeting new friends, exploring campus, and settling into your new routine.

Start With an Everyday Iowa State Tee

A comfortable Iowa State tee is one of the easiest pieces to pack. Pair it with athletic shorts for move-in day, denim for exploring Ames, or leggings for a laid-back day on campus.

Keep your look classic with the ISU Tonal Puff Short Sleeve, ISU Go Team Short Sleeve, or ISU Tiny Flag Short Sleeve. The ISU Wings Spread Short Sleeve and ISU Take Flight Short Sleeve are also easy ways to add Cyclone spirit to your everyday wardrobe.

Add Something Fun to Your Rotation

College is the perfect time to try new styles and find the pieces that feel the most like you. The ISU Classic Cherry Picnic Short Sleeve, ISU Juicy Fruit Short Sleeve, and ISU Classic Daisy May Short Sleeve add a fun update to your Iowa State collection.

You can also reach for the ISU Cut Flowers Short Sleeve, ISU Classic Bold Floral Short Sleeve, or ISU Puff Groovy Floral Short Sleeve when you want an outfit that feels a little more dressed up while still staying comfortable.

Pack a Layer for Cooler Days

Even when move-in day is warm, a comfortable sweatshirt is always worth adding to your packing list. It will come in handy for cold classrooms, late-night study sessions, early mornings, and cooler fall days in Ames.

The ISU Elegant Script Crewneck is an easy layer to keep draped over your desk chair or tucked inside your backpack. For a bolder Cyclone look, add the ISU Brown Totality Puff Camo Crewneck to your sweatshirt rotation.

Find a Tee That Fits Your Personality

Your Iowa State wardrobe does not have to be limited to one look. The ISU Gone Fishing Short Sleeve, ISU Fish Out of Water Short Sleeve, and ISU Duck & Cover Short Sleeve bring an outdoors-inspired feel to your collection.

For something with a throwback or statement look, try the ISU Giant Arch Leopard Short Sleeve, ISU Classic Malibu Check Short Sleeve, or ISU The Beginning Short Sleeve.

Your Iowa State Era Starts Here

Move-in is about more than organizing your room and carrying boxes. It is the beginning of new friendships, Iowa State traditions, and memories that will last long after graduation.

Start the semester ready to represent by shopping the Iowa State Move-In Must-Haves Collection from Barefoot Campus Outfitter. From the ISU Fresh Take Short Sleeve and ISU G Coming Home Short Sleeve to comfortable crewnecks and everyday tees, you can find Cyclones gear you will reach for throughout the year.
