School is back in session and fall is fast approaching, so the question on every student’s mind is simple: Is my closet ready? Fear not! Today, we’re going to take a look at the hottest new trends hitting campuses this fall, so you can up your fashion game and stay one step ahead of the competition.
Our first look is totally workwear chic, inspired by the gritty fall vibes of mechanics or lumberjacks! The first thing you’re going to need is a pair of big heavy boots—dark colours are preferred—as these are good for the fall mud. We’re going to be pairing that with some light blue vintage Carhartt coveralls, and a minimalist white mask on top. Think Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut. What a SLAY 💜.
The second look I have for you today is going to be a little cozier and has some Christmas vibes! So, for all you Halloween haters out there, feel free to put this one on October 1st! Obviously, the first item is a nice red and green striped sweater, classic fall aura right there. For pants, you can go with dark coloured work trousers, and throw on some worn-in work boots too (workwear is seriously all the rage this fall). Now, everyone knows that fedoras have been poised to make a comeback for years; that year is 2025. Spice up this fit with a fedora to give fall earth tone vibes. While we’re at it, throw on a leather glove, too. But. only on one hand! People will be dreaming about you in this fit for sure.
Next, we have something a little more promiscuous, perhaps for those still needing to bag a fall bae for cuffing season. Start with a ruffle blouse, just sheer enough to show your Victoria’s Secret black lace bra underneath. Then, a pleather (#savetheanimals) miniskirt. As was best said by Fashion Icon Paris Hilton, “Skirts should be the size of a belt. Life’s short, take risks.” A fun twist: a garter pulling up some thigh high socks. Oh shit, the weather’s looking a little dreary this week… On second thought, drape yourself in a big, cozy black cloak, catching a cold won’t do you any good. And, why not, another mask? This time, go with something more artsy with an expressionist vibe, sort of like the famous Munch painting The Scream. Much better. Who are you kidding? Your face card is probably declining anyways.
So, whether you’re hitting Cactus happy hour for bellinis with the squad, or just trying to take cute pics for your Hinge, these looks are to die for. Don’t be scared to let loose a little! Grab a PSL, hit the pumpkin patch or maybe cop a candle at Bath & Body Works. But, above all, just know you’ll be looking drop dead gorgeous with these killer looks.
