Rush Ready | Finding the Perfect Dresses with Altar’d State

Rush season is here, and if you’re a college girl preparing to make your best impression, finding the right dress is key. Comfort, style, and confidence all matter, and luckily, Altar’d State has a range of options that check all the boxes. Between the events, mixers, and chapter visits, you want outfits that make you feel confident, comfortable, and effortlessly put-together.

Whether you’re going for flirty and fun, classic and chic, or a little more sophisticated, the right pieces can help you show your best self while still feeling like you. From playful florals to sleek satin, Altar’d State has dresses to fit every vibe and every event on your Rush calendar.

Floral Print Mini Dress
For a playful and approachable vibe, a floral mini dress is a must. This one from Altar’d State is lightweight and breezy, perfect for long days of meeting potential new sisters. Pair it with simple sandals or wedges and minimal accessories so the dress can do all the talking.

White Strapless Mini Dress with Pearl Trim
Classic and chic, a white strapless mini dress with pearl trim is a perfect way to feel polished without overdoing it. The pearl detailing adds a touch of elegance, while the strapless cut keeps it fun and youthful. Pair with neutral heels or flats for a fresh, timeless look.

Midnight Blue Satin Halter Dress
For chapters or events that call for a little more sophistication, a midnight blue satin halter dress is your go-to. The soft sheen and flattering halter neckline make it both elegant and modern. Keep accessories fun (think sculptural earrings or a charm bracelet) and the dress can really shine.

Floral Print Double Layered Romper
Who says rompers can’t be Rush-ready? A floral double layered romper is ideal for girls who want style without sacrificing comfort. It’s easy to move in, breathable, and just as photogenic as a dress. Add simple sandals and a crossbody bag for an effortlessly put-together look.

No matter your style or comfort level, these Altar’d State pieces make it easy to feel confident, comfortable, and ready to crush Rush. Remember, the best accessory you can wear is confidence, so pick the dress that feels like you and let your personality do the rest.

Game Day Style with Altar’d State

Blog

College football season is here, and if there’s one thing we love just as much as cheering on our favorite team, it’s dressing for the occasion. Game day style is all about finding that perfect balance between spirited and stylish, and Altar’d State has everything you need to pull it off. Whether you’re repping your school colors or just tagging along for the tailgate, here are four ways to style looks that will have you feeling confident all season long.

University of Memphis: Bold & Playful
Show your Tiger pride in a blue top paired with a black leather skort; it’s a combo that feels effortless but still makes a statement. Top it off with a game day trucker hat, football earrings, and a bracelet stack for just the right amount of spirit. Finish the look with cowboy boots and you’ve got a game day outfit that goes from tailgate to kickoff without missing a beat.

Ole Miss: Cool & Unexpected
Not every look has to be decked out in team logos. For Ole Miss vibes, try a denim dress styled with bright red cowboy boots for that pop of color. Add a cheeky “I Need a Diet Coke” trucker hat to keep things lighthearted and fun: it’s spirited without being too on the nose. This is the kind of look that’s perfect for watching the game, grabbing snacks, and taking cute photos with your friends.

University of Tennessee: Classic & Spirited
Orange is always the moment in Knoxville. Keep things classic with an orange sweater and a denim skort, then add in a Game Day trucker hat and cowboy boots to tie it all together. This look has school spirit written all over it, but still feels easy and wearable for a long day of cheering, walking, and celebrating with friends.

The Neutral Look: Effortless & Versatile
If you’re more into neutrals, you can still pull together a look that works for game day. A leather skirt paired with a cozy sweater and sneakers is the perfect base. From there, just add accessories (a trucker hat, beaded bracelets, or earrings in your team’s colors) and you’re instantly game day-ready. It’s the easiest way to stay comfortable without losing out on style.

Final tip: Don’t be afraid to mix and match pieces or rewear staples like your favorite skort, dress, or boots. With the right accessories, your outfit can work for any game, any weekend, and any team!

Travel-Ready Summer Looks from Altar’d State

Blog

If you’ve got a European Summer on the brain (or just want to dress like it), Altar’d State has the cutest pieces to get you vacation-ready without overpacking. Think lightweight fabrics, dreamy prints, and effortless vibes.

Here’s a peek at some of their travel-ready styles that are a must for Summer.

This striped linen matching set was basically made for sipping espresso in a sunny piazza. The back tie details on the top give it a feminine touch, and the whole look works equally well with sandals or sneakers for days spent wandering cobblestone streets.

A classic denim mini skirt styled with a fitted tank and a crochet vest layered on top is so easy and so cute. This one’s perfect for casual market strolls or beach town exploring. Add a woven straw cowboy hat to complete the look.

White crochet pants might sound risky, but trust us-they’re breezy, boho, and surprisingly versatile. We paired them with a pretty butter yellow babydoll top (hello, color of the season!) and a pearl choker to keep the look dressy, but you can easily toss on a tee and flat sandals and you’re set for anything from brunch to a museum visit.

This cute satin mini dress is playful, flirty, and perfect for dinner al fresco. Seriously, how fun is this print? Bonus: it packs like a dream and doesn’t wrinkle easily. Win-win. We styled it with a charm necklace (all the rage right now), and a straw bag with pearl accents for an added pop of texture.

No matter where your Summer takes you, these pieces from Altar’d State are lightweight, easy to mix and match, and totally Instagram-worthy. Just don’t forget your passport!

Summer Essentials | Altar’d State

Blog

It’s likely that you’re itching to add in some new pieces to your Summer wardrobe, and Altar’d State has in a ton of new arrivals to help you get your fashion fix. We’re in the thick of Summer, but they’ve also started to get in their transitional pieces as well (most stores start to get these in when “Back to School” is on the horizon), so you can find a really good mix of dresses, denim, jackets, cardigans and sweaters, and denim.

90s inspired style is still a hot trend (I honestly don’t think it will ever go away), so you’ll feel a little bit of nostalgia when you shop. Warmer weather means that it’s time to clear out anything you don’t love anymore so that you can make room for more covetable items, so if you’re on the hunt for some newness, here are some Summer Essentials from Altar’d State!

Tia Midi Dress

Jordon Crochet Sweater
This cozy crochet sweater has a touch of unexpected style with the lace-up detail in the back. It will be perfect for layering on crisp days as we transition seasons.

Rose Floral Midi Skirt
The charming floral print on this skirt has a 90s feel. Keep it sweet with your favorite sandals, or edge it up a bit with a pair of combat boots.

Barcelona Botanical Gardens Tee
This comfy tee features a vibrant graphic of the Barcelona Botanical Gardens, letting you rep your love for nature in style. The oversized fits keeps things cool and breeze on hot Summer days.
