What to Wear for OSU Rush Week 2025
Your Ultimate Guide to OSU Sorority Rush Outfits Rush week is one of the most exciting (and let's be honest, most photographed) weeks of your college experience—so naturally, your outfits matter! At J.Cole Shoes, we’re all about helping you feel confident, cute, and ready to take on every round in style. Whether you're joining your dream house or finding your people along the way, we’ve got you covered from your first Zoom to Bid Day hugs. Here’s your go-to outfit breakdown for Oklahoma State University’s sorority recruitment week: Open House – 2 Days (Virtual via Zoom)Keep it simple up top! You’ll need two standout tops that show your personality—think textured fabrics, bright hues, or cute details like puff sleeves or bows. You’ll be seated during these calls, so let your top do the talking. Throw on a touch of lip gloss and a cute pair of earrings to tie it all together. Philanthropy Round – 2 Days (T-shirt Provided by Panhellenic)This is where you bring the fun with your bottoms! Pair your philanthropy shirt with skirts or skorts that pop—like our black and white polka dot style or our new denim skort with blue leopard print. These rounds are casual but high-energy, so opt for something comfortable and cute. Finish the look with sneakers, a bow in your hair, or layered bracelets to keep things fun and expressive. Sisterhood Round – 2 Days (Gameday Inspired)This is the round where you’ll want to rep your Cowboy pride! Think gameday dresses in orange, black, or white—our boutique is stocked with options that are spirited and flattering. Pair them with sandals, sneakers, or boots depending on your style. We love a denim jacket or gameday bag to polish off the look. Preference Round – 1 Day (More Formal)Time to dress it up. You’ll want something a little more elevated—a soft white dress or one in a pastel or jewel tone. We recommend choosing a dress that feels timeless and sweet. This round is all about connection, so choose something that helps you feel your most confident, beautiful self. Don’t forget the details: a sleek shoe, a delicate necklace, and soft curls go a long way. Bid Day (Time to Celebrate!)After a long week, it’s finally here! Comfort is key for all the photos, hugs, and dancing. Go with a cute pair of denim shorts or a skort, and sneakers that can handle all the excitement—Back 70s, anyone? Add a fun hat, your new sorority tee, and be ready to celebrate with your new sisters. Final Tip: Don’t Overthink It The most important thing you can wear all week? Confidence. Your outfits are there to express your style—not define your worth. We’re just here to help you feel like your best, most fun, most YOU version. Stop by J.Cole Shoes and we’ll help you plan out every round with looks you’ll want to wear long after rush week.

If there’s one sneaker brand we can’t get enough of right now, it’s Back 70. Known for its vintage-inspired look, standout materials, and ultra-cool colorways, Back 70 has quickly become a go-to favorite for sneaker lovers who want style and comfort. Whether you’re dressing them up with a blazer or going full casual with denim shorts, Back 70 sneakers are that perfect final touch you didn’t know your wardrobe was missing. So why are Back 70 sneakers flying off the shelves? Let’s break down exactly what makes these shoes a must-have—and why we’re proudly carrying them in our collection. A Modern Take on Retro Cool Back 70 sneakers are a nod to the past while staying rooted in the present. The brand pulls heavy inspiration from the 1970s and 80s, offering that classic gum sole, bold side striping, and sporty silhouette. But don’t let the retro vibes fool you—Back 70 knows exactly how to make a timeless design feel fresh. From tonal laces to buttery suede and high-end detailing, every pair of Back 70 sneakers brings elevated taste to everyday wear. The Colorways We Can’t Stop Talking About One of the reasons we love stocking Back 70 is the color palette. They offer everything from playful pastels to earthy neutrals and even bold statement shades. Some of our current customer favorites? The “Ghost in Green Milk,” “Blue Milk,” and of course, the ultra-versatile “Cloud Beige.” Each of these colorways brings something different to the table, but they all have the signature Back 70 charm. Whether you’re building an outfit around your sneakers or letting them finish the look, Back 70 makes it easy to make a statement. The Fit: Streetwear Meets Function Let’s talk comfort. Back 70 sneakers aren’t just cute—they’re wearable all day long. They strike a rare balance between structure and softness, making them ideal for travel days, long shifts on your feet, or simply running errands in style. The materials (like eco-leather, suede, and soft lining) feel luxe, and the fit is true to size with just the right amount of support. We especially love how Back 70 shoes work across all kinds of style personalities. Whether your vibe is laid-back and sporty or polished and minimalist, there’s a Back 70 sneaker that fits the mood. How We’re Styling Them Want to know how we wear our Back 70 sneakers? Here are a few go-to looks from our team: With a denim mini + graphic tee: It’s giving vintage varsity, especially paired with the blue milk colorway. With a satin midi skirt + oversized blazer: A high-low mix that’s effortlessly cool. With linen shorts + a racerback tank: Perfect for summer days when you still want to feel put together. With denim overalls or jumpsuits: A fun throwback combo that always photographs well. With your favorite workout set and oversized jacket: Athleisure, elevated. However you wear them, Back 70 sneakers add a confident, stylish edge. Why We Love Carrying Back 70 At J.Cole Shoes, we’re super intentional about the brands we stock. We look for companies that are doing something special—bringing great quality, thoughtful design, and genuine style to the table. Back 70 checks all those boxes. They’re unique without being too trendy, eye-catching without being loud, and most importantly, made to last. We’ve also noticed that once a customer tries their first pair of Back 70 sneakers, they come back for a second—and then a third. That kind of loyalty says a lot about the product. Final Thoughts: Your Next Favorite Sneaker If you haven’t tried Back 70 yet, now’s the time. These sneakers are quickly becoming a staple for everyone from college students to young professionals, moms on the go, and fashion lovers alike. They’re easy to style, ultra-comfy, and full of personality. You can shop our full selection of Back 70 sneakers right here or swing by our Tulsa or Stillwater location to try them on for yourself. We promise, once you step into a pair, there’s no going back.

In-between seasons shopping
As the long, hot days gradually give way to the cool breezes of autumn, your wardrobe also needs a seamless transition.. Layer Up: Layering isn't just practical; it's a style statement. Start with lightweight pieces like a cotton tee or a flowy summer dress and add layers as the temperature dips. A denim jacket or a soft cardigan over a dress can keep the summer vibe alive even as you warm up. Invest in Versatile Pieces: Look for items that can bridge the gap between seasons. Maxi skirts paired with sandals are great for summer and can transition into fall with the addition of a chunky sweater and ankle boots. Footwear Transition: Footwear can completely change the vibe of an outfit. It's time to start mixing in closed-toe shoes and boots with your outfits. Mules and loafers are excellent transitional footwear that provides coverage yet doesn’t feel too heavy. Add Deeper Tones: While you don’t need to abandon the bright and light colors of summer, incorporating deeper tones can help shift the mood to fall. Mix mustard, burgundy, or forest green with lighter shades to create a balanced look. By mixing and matching, layering wisely, and adjusting your color palette, you can navigate the shift from summer to fall with style and ease. Remember, the key to a functional transitional wardrobe is versatility. Happy styling!
