Fall weather brings many changes in our lives; the weather changes from blistering hot and sunny days to brisk and chilly, and it encourages us to put on more layers to transition into our winter wear.
As we enter this new fall season, so do new fall fashion trends for people of all styles, which include the return of once popular colors, fabrics and patterns. Hipster, punk, office and athletic trends are all seeing changes to popular items.
Katie Brown, a fashion intern at 417 Magazine and a fashion major here at Missouri State has provided some insight into specific new items for different trends that are popular this fall.
Denim, oversized sweaters and overalls are making a comeback to the hipster trend. Denim vests and denim tops paired with leggings or patterned jeans are the perfect outfit for a day outing as well as overalls with patterned button-up shirts underneath.
Round sunglasses, giant headbands and wide brim hats are must-have fall accessories.
Punk trends are all about the ‘flannel grunge,’ and ‘bright print clash.’ Tartan plaid is the hot pattern that is becoming more and more popular as well as leather skirts and chunky ankle boots.
Letterman jackets are the hot item making a return to a more sporty style, as well as striped baseball tees, crewneck sweatshirts and tuxedo striped pants, with perforated leather being a popular new fabric to wear.
For those girls looking for a more office friendly or business style, a bold colored bag to make you stand out in the office is a must-have! Forget the heels — flats of all kinds are in, and they’re also more practical for the workplace. Statement coats and knee-length skirts and dresses, inspired by menswear, are perfect to look both trendy, girly and professional.
To find some of these looks while staying in a college budget, Forever 21 and Charolette Russe carry a wide range of items from all different styles and trends and at reasonable prices.
If you’re looking to splurge a little bit more on your new wardrobe, stores like Old Navy and American Eagle have many items in plaid, denim, and flannel.
New York and Company is the perfect place to find your office and work wear.
They have all the fashionable pieces to keep you looking classy and professional with just a touch of color to make you really stand out, but in a good way.
The bold colored bags can be found at almost any woman’s apparel stores.
For those older items that were once popular, such as overalls and letter man’s jackets, if you don’t already have them laying around somewhere, thrift shopping is always a fun and cheap way to shop for those more unique items to make your style a little bit more you.
These outfits and trends are a nice change of pace from the comfy outfits of jeans, tees and yoga pants and sweats.
Dressing up and switching your wardrobe around is a fun way to prepare yourself for the changing season and also keep you with the trends and looking good!
