Dakota Fanning has said that she hopes to never be caught wearing sweatpants to class.

The 17-year-old, who graduated from high school in June, revealed that she is still having trouble adjusting to dressing for college.

"Going to college is a bit different than going back to high school," Fanning told People. "You can kind of wear whatever you want, and I had a uniform in high school."

The actress went on to say that she is trying to maintain a sense of style.

"If you ever catch me in sweatpants in class, that's not good," Fanning said. "I've tried not to dress like that."

Last month, Fanning signed on to star in Effie. She will play the famous Victorian art critic John Ruskin's wife Effie Gray in actress Emma Thompson's directorial debut,

Fanning can next be seen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
