Fall Fashion Must-Haves

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Quinnipiac chapter.

It’s that time of year again…break out the trendy sweaters, jeans and boots! With the cool fall and winter weather right around the corner, be sure to have these necessities in your wardrobe.

  1. Big Comfy Sweaters

This is an essential for any girl’s wardrobe. Everyone needs a big knit sweater for the upcoming months that can be paired with jeans or leggings. Darker shades such as grey, oatmeal and purple are perfect for the brisk fall days and a little bit of shimmer is great for around the holidays. Reasonably priced, fashionable, warm and comfortable sweaters can be found at American Eagle, Forever 21 or Tobi (online).

  1. Infinity Scarf

These wrap-around scarves can spice up any outfit and keep you warm. Make sure to have basic solid colors, such as white, blue and pink as well as pretty fall patterns. Infinity scarves can go with sweaters, blouses and even sweatshirts. Inexpensive infinity scarves can be purchased at Kohl’s, American Eagle and Target.

  1. Boots

Tall leather boots and combat boots will never go out of style. Black, brown or grey are a must have for the fall and winter months. They will automatically make your outfit so much more stylish whether you pair them with jeans or leggings. Reasonably priced and quality boots can be found at DSW, Macy’s and Target.

  1. Colored Jeans

While bright coral and blue jeans were in last spring, dark purple, maroon and red jeans are in this fall. Beautiful dark shades paired with sweaters are a fall staple right now. You can wear them with flats or combat boots for a classy and chic outfit. Colored jeans can be found anywhere- American Eagle, Target and Nordstrom are all great options.

  1. Accessories

Don’t forget about jewelry and hand bags! Accessorize your sweaters with gold or silver bangles with edgy studs and spikes. Also, rose gold and two-toned watches are a pretty touch to any outfit. You can find cool accessories at Alex and Ani, Nordstrom and Forever 21. To top the outfit off, wear a cross-body or over the shoulder hand bag that can be found at Marshalls or TJ Maxx.

 

With these five fall must-haves, you will be well on your way to being a fashionista on campus. Even though all of these essentials are fairly basic, be sure to put your own twist on them to make your outfit unique!
