Almost every girl out there claims they love fall for not only the beautiful weather and fun holidays, but for the fashion. Us girls love to wear leggings, boots and scarves, but is that really all fall fashion is?
Certainly not. Here are some fashion trends that are in this year and could be something to add to your everyday campus look.
First off, this season the color olive is making a comeback. We saw this color trying to break the surface a bit last year, but now it is here full blast. Olive skinny jeans or jeggings are super in. Pair them with a cute jacket and some boots and you have a comfy, casual outfit to wear to class. Also, be on the lookout for another green this season because emerald adds a nice color to your fall wardrobe.
Jackets are another thing that can be a staple of your fall wardrobe. Army and leather jackets are very popular this season and for obvious reasons, because they look good with numerous things. Leather jackets are good for class, but can also be dressed up for a night out. Army jackets are a cute style to wear almost anywhere and can match many different styles. They add an edgy feel to the classic baggy shirt and leggings look.
In addition to leather coats, leather pants, dresses and shirts can be versatile pieces in your closet. They can add a classy, sport or edgy look depending on how you wear it. Beware of the full on leather outfit though, that just does not work.
Something students may want to consider this fall is classic prints. Floral has been overdone the past few seasons. Trade those prints for a classic houndstooth or plaid. These timeless prints will never go out of style and look good with almost every outfit. They are also appropriate for just about every situation.
In addition to classic prints, leopard is still in, people. Leopard print is one of the resilient prints in all of our wardrobes. Do not be afraid to pull your favorite leopard piece out this fall and pair it with a little bit of color for a unique and wild flare.
Also in the realm of prints is camo. Military inspired looks are obviously in considering the olive color and army jacket’s popularity. Try to think outside the box when incorporating these elements to create a military-inspired look that will turn heads. Mixing khaki tans and greens with black and camo could be a really cute option.
Another thing you can do with all of your prints and colors this fall is layering. Mix textures like sheer and leather to add the layer effect without feeling bulky or too warm. Stray away from mixing too many patterns however. This can be hard on the eyes and ruin the sleek appearance you are trying to go for with layering.
Scarves are in like usual. You can never go wrong with a chunky infinity scarf. Buy a neutral color to match a lot of different outfits so you can get the most wear out of it. However, do not hesitate to pick out a wild one too for those brisk fall days you really want to make a statement.
Finally, you can tie all these elements together with a great pair of boots. I think every girl needs a pair of black boots and a pair of brown boots. With these two staples, you can create any look perfect for fall and even winter. Outfits look so much better with a nice pair of boots as opposed to cheap flip-flops or tennis shoes.
Overall, be creative this fall when putting together outfits. Fall is a time to dress comfy and still look cute. Instead of wearing a tee shirt to class, throw on a flannel and a pair of boots and it makes it look like you actually put some effort into your appearance for the day. Make these trends your own and alter them to create your own unique fall style.
