Fall is a time of year where the weather cools down and you can see your breath in the crisp morning air.  Fashion is a crucial component to pop culture in every season, and fall is the time of year where fashion shines. Most girls recreate outfits from their favorite early 2000s TV shows, including Gilmore Girls and The Vampire Diaries, and this year will be no exception. The continuous hours spent excessively scrolling on Pinterest for inspiration for an aesthetic outfit to go apple picking, so to save your time, let me show you some of the main trends for this spooky season. 

Warmer Weather Fall:

Firstly, one basic color to wear this season is maroon. The dark red shade captivates many people to wear it, in order to display fall spirit. One student said, “Maroon tops are very cute.” Showing that maroon tops are perfect for day to day wear. Specifically, a basic maroon top is perfect for day to day life: including school, hanging out with friends and other casual activities. Another, basic necessity for the fall season is a leather jacket. These work perfectly for an aesthetic layering look even when the weather is warmer out. The leather jacket matches with a cute top or sweater depending on the weather. One student said, “I only see them on Pinterest, but I think they’re cute.” Leather jackets are fashionable for a calm day in New York City, a nice dinner, or everyday when you feel like dressing up. Lastly, boot cut jeans are a tight fit until the knee, where they widen creating a flare look, usually low waisted. These jeans have recently come back into style since the early 2000s. One student I met with explained, “I think boots jeans are really cute.” Pair these jeans with hoodies or sweaters for an upscale look. T shirts are known as the perfect basic top and go with any bottom.

Colder Weather Fall:

However, as the weather gets colder, it’s harder to incorporate these pieces into everyday outfits, so here are some ideas to add to your wardrobe. One item repeated through fall outfits is the chunky beige sweater inspired from an outfit inspired by the first episode of Gilmore Girls. Usually paired with jeans, the sweater adds a formal touch, perfect for an average outfit that needs to be elevated, similar to a leather jacket. One freshman student said, “I don’t wear them, but I love them.” Wear the sweater for a day of studying in comfort, presentations for a polished look, or other days prioritizing appearances and comfort. Another similar piece includes cardigans, which can be paired with a plain T-shirt for a casual, yet elevated and classified appearance. Another student explained, “I like cardigans because they come in a lot of nice colors, and they’re very mature.” Cardigans can be worn to school daily, and they will always be stylish. One idea of how to style a beige cardigan and a red top can be cute, especially for an outfit to go apple picking. When the weather is cold, and it feels as if it’s about to snow, sweatpants are the perfect item to wear. They can be paired with anything, but a sweater or cardigan can play as the perfect relaxing outfit. Lastly, a student said, “I think sweatpants for fall fashion are really comfy. I love them personally, and I think they’re a great outfit choice.” One popular pair of sweatpants are the Garage Cargo Sweatpants in gray.
