Freshman Jowaune McKenzie adds a splash of leopard print to her ensemble and accessorizes with layered rings.
Lacy Layers: Add a piece of lace into your everyday outfit. You can dress it up or down. Make sure it doesn’t show too much. Make it your own and keep it classy.
- Leopard Splash: Throw a bit of leopard print into your ensemble. Think shoes, bags, belts, or a simple scarf, but don’t overdo it.
- Neon Pop: Now get ready for the brightest of brights: neon! If you are not ready to go all the way with this trend, buy a neon belt and pair it with a gray dress. If you are really ready for the trend, take that belt and put it with the dress, then put a neon-hued cardigan over the top.
- Chunky Knits: Made to look hand-knitted, they have a variety of shapes and necklines, offering warmth and a snuggly sensuality. They are perfect for a cool autumn day, worn with a pair of your favorite skinny jeans or leggings.
- Color Blocking: After seasons of frills and flowers, color blocking is a strong pattern for the fall. This trend will work for all fashionistas and can be seen in different looks.
- Mixing Prints: This can be a tricky concept to grasp, but that’s part of the fun. When quirky patterns click, the result is an artful collage that warrants a second glance. Find pieces linked by a common color scheme or mood. It’s the best when they come together in varied proportions and even different textures!
- Layering Rings: Right now everyone is loving the look of hippy, 1970s inspired mood rings and cabochons. Rather than punky skulls and knuckle-busters or the overly blingy and sparkly cocktail rings, try unique stones like turquoise, amber, and aquamarine.
Men’s tips and trends for fall
8. Attention! Military Moment: The color of choice is military green, but navy and dark browns also rock this look. Think jackets, shrunken with a slimmer cut or the complete opposite, over-sized and slightly baggy. Beware of actual camouflage prints which look cheap and dingy.
9. Denim this, Denim that: Whether you are rocking a pair of skinny jeans, a jacket, or a simple button down, it is in this season. Double up and go all out. Dress it up and go downtown or wear it to class.
10. Menswear Watches: Whatever your style may entitle, everyone is qualified to rock these right now. Girls, add it to your everyday outfit for a cool contrast.
