Its finally time to say goodbye to our favorite summer dresses and shorts and welcome the heavy sweaters and brown boots. The fall weather is slowly settling over Elon and it’s the point in the year to start bundling up.

We are seeing a variety of trends this season on campus as everyone is putting their own flare to their autumn attire this year. The five staple pieces that you need for your wardrobe this fall are: shearling-lined jackets and vests, Steve Madden Vans, ripped boyfriend jeans, the Modern Clubmaster sunglasses and speckled pullover sweaters.

Shearling-lined Jackets and Vests

This trend originated in the ‘70s. You can layer this jacket or vest with pretty much everything. It compliments flannels, patterned tops and long-sleeve t-shirts very well. You can use it to dress up or dress down your outfit. Definitely a good investment for this fall.

 

Steve Madden Vans

Take on your inner skater personality by purchasing a pair of Steve Madden’s new line of Vans. There are all kinds of different patterns that will put a kick to your wardrobe. The popular design that is found around Elon’s campus is the cheetah print. These shoes are extremely comfortable and can be worn in the classroom or out at night.

 

Washed Out Jeans

This color jean complements the fall weather temperature. They give your outfit that “laid back” look. The washed out jean is perfect for your day-to-day outfits, but we are seeing more people pair their going out outfits with a lighter wash. Also, small rips in the jean can give off that edgy, trendy vibe.

 

The Modern Clubmaster Sunglasses

Tired of blending into the crowd with the same sunglasses as everyone? Well it’s time to spice things up and give yourself a more modern flare to your eyewear. These glasses have a unique shape and thicker frames that can compliment anyone’s face shape. The lenses are unique and different from your typical Raybands. You can find yourself these glasses at Urban Outfitters for $18.

 

Speckled Pullover Sweaters

This sweater can pull an outfit together. It is a perfect statement to your daily ensemble. You can layer the sweater over a dress, romper, flannel or camisole. No matter how you style your attire, you can’t go wrong with the speckled pullover.
