For students, getting dressed is often a balancing act between comfort, style and everything else on the to-do list. For student and creative Cailey Chavez, that means finding pieces that can keep up with her day, from grabbing coffee before class to studying and everything in between. As part of its ongoing approach to versatile, everyday dressing, NikeSKIMS has got you covered, bringing together performance-inspired pieces and fashion-led essentials designed to move with you.
For a new episode of Day in the Life, Hypebae enlists Chavez to take the NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh out and about as she navigates a very relatable combination of campus life, fashion and fitness. Starting her morning at home before heading to class, the student and content creator spends the day at the University of Texas at Austin, stopping by the NikeSKIMS Campus pop-up, squeezing in some study time and ending the day with a NikeSKIMS Trainer-Led Sculpt class.

Her day starts at home, where Chavez gets ready and slips into a NikeSKIMS matching set consisting of the NikeSKIMS Airy baby tee and Airy Skort, both in the shade “Obsidian,” and finishes her look with a pair of Black NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh shoes. Keeping things casual, she heads out for coffee near campus, ordering a vanilla latte with cold foam. The silhouette brings a distinctly fashion-forward feel to the everyday shoe, combining its iconic split-toe design with a sleek shape, perfect for pairing with both fashionable fits and sport-inspired looks.

Next up is a trip to the NikeSKIMS pop-up on UT Austin’s campus. As one of the first stops on her day, the space gives her the chance to explore the new collection up close and, naturally, pick up a few pieces of her own. After browsing the collection, alongside branded water bottles, matchas and mingling with other students, she leaves with some new NikeSKIMS additions to her wardrobe, including matching sets, sports bras and a jacket.
But it’s not all fashion and coffee runs. With a test coming up, Chavez heads back home to hit the books, swapping campus energy for a little study time. It’s a familiar student dilemma: finding the balance between getting dressed, getting everything done and making time for yourself in between. This is why having pieces in her wardrobe that are versatile and can be easily mixed and matched while still looking good allows her to also feel good while on the go.

Later, Chavez heads back to campus, this time changing into a matching set, featuring the NikeSKIMS Matte Double Scoop Bra and 5inch Biker Short, in the shade “Dark Sepia,” before making her way to the NikeSKIMS Trainer-Led Sculpt class. The NikeSKIMS Mesh Rift follow her through the final part of her day, offering a versatile finishing touch to the look.
