The temperatures are sinking and the leaves around Adelphi’s campus are on the verge of changing color. Autumn has arrived but one question might linger: what to wear?
As usual, the fashion world has delivered us a wide variety of opportunities to be perfectly styled for every occasion and taste this fall season. The great news is that it’s likely that you already have most of this season’s essential pieces.
This year’s fall season is all about building a versatile capsule wardrobe embracing a classy and modern fashion look, but the season also celebrates some comebacks with denim and a bohemian influence. Here are some of the key trends for the upcoming season.
Preppy and corporate chic
Where are all my “Gossip Girl” fans out there? Manifest that fashion sense of the icon Blair Waldorf for this fall season. Andrea Sachs from “The Devil Wears Prada” can also be seen rocking this style, with this option bringing back some nostalgia to resurrect classic looks. Corporate Chic is a great opportunity to be dressed for every occasion, combining basic clothes in altering options and incorporating centerpieces into the outfit. It allows you to always look perfectly fashionable and well dressed, adding a feminine touch.
Plaid and long skirts
With the summer coming to an end, don’t put your skirts in the back of your closet yet. Long skirts are a great way to give your look that fall-like charm, balancing comfort and elegance. The styling possibilities are endless: pair it classy with a chic blouse or go for more coziness with a t-shirt and cardigan or warm sweater. Besides long skirts, plaid skirts are an all-time staple for the fall, never going out of fashion. So, if you don’t already have one, what are you waiting for? Go and purchase this timeless fall essential!
Boot it up
Another classic for the upcoming season are boots. I mean, walking through the rain with flat shoes is not exactly preferable and, besides, boots look way more fashionable. The high-knee boots are especially trendy during the fall and can be stylishly paired up with skirts and dresses, but also look fantastic with nice denim jeans. Therefore, investing in a great pair of boots is a must.
Trench coat
A trench coat is great for the transitional season, with lots of different kinds you can use to evaluate your style. Particularly in season are cropped trench coats, which give your outfit that additional touch of easiness and coolness, while still letting you look sophisticated.
Earthy tones
To match the natural fall colors, earthy tones come in handy. These include rich shades of green, all kinds of brown tones and crème colors like beige. Gray tones are an all-time favorite as well. Whether in clothing or accessories, these shades offer that extra clean component to your homey and refined look.
Splash of red
To spice it up this fall, search for your personal red detail, delivering the finishing touch to each outfit. Red — whether it’s a bright love red or darker elegant bordeaux red — stands out especially well when paired with more basic or monochrome garments. For some potential inspiration, the petite red could be that of a scarf, purse, shoes or any other upper part. Other red accessories or nail polish to go along with the garments also look nice.
Messy braid
For the girls out there, fall also means windy, and of course, a good outfit would not be complete without a fitting hairstyle. This fall gives you a great chance to enhance your outfit with a messy braid. To bring your hairstyle to the next level, tie in a little bow for that extra cuteness, or maybe even a red ribbon.
Boho
In case you don’t feel that static and bureaucratic in your look this fall, the free-spirited boho aesthetic is experiencing a revival. Boho combines more structures and variations in their looks, and is an excellent alternative to combine more loose and colorful fashion items. When you’re an accessory enthusiast, boho is the style for you, integrating all kinds of accessory like hats, long necklaces, funky bracelets and much more. Boho also works great in combination with animal prints.
Animal prints
Animal prints are a reoccurring trend, following us now for years, with leopard print continuing in its popularity. In case you feel wild this fall, just grab your animal-print clothing and incorporate it into your outfit as your centerpiece.
