7 Must-Have Fashion Accessories For The Fall

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

Say goodbye to flip-flops, tank tops and shorts and say hello to comfy sweater weather!  The crisp fall air is creeping in which means it’s time to swap out our wardrobes.  Here’s a list of 7 fashion accessories that are trending this fall.

1. Boots

Whether it’s riding, combat, knit, biker, or ankle, every boot style is in and can be worn with many different outfits.  Popular colors seen this fall are black, brown, chestnut, and charcoal gray.  You can rock boots with jeans, leggings, tights, a skirt, or even a dress.

 

2. Knee Socks

Match those new boots you’re wearing with a fashionable pair of knee-high socks.  Not only will they keep your legs warm, but it will also make your outfit even more eye-catching.  Make sure to keep the color of the socks in the same scheme of your outfit to avoid clash or mismatch.

 

3. Scarves

Scarves are a must-have for every fall.  This decorative accessory is useful for adding a pop of color to any plain jacket or sweater.  The infinity scarf is the most popular type this season.  The full-circle scarf can be twisted or knotted whichever way you prefer around your neck. 

 

4. Flannels

Flannels are making a comeback this fall in all different shades.  You can wear it as a shirt, light throw-over to a solid tee, or even tie it around your waist.  This soft-woven fabric is comfortable to wear to class or any casual event.

 

5. Leggings

Leggings can be paired with many different outfits, as long as they are NOT being worn as actual pants!!!  They go best with oversized sweaters and look great tucked into a pair of boots. 

 

6. Vests

A trendy vest is the perfect substitute for a lightweight jacket on fall days spent outdoors.  They provide just enough protection against the cold and still allow a glimpse at the shirt you’re wearing underneath.  The jean vest in particular is up and coming this season.

 

7. Ponchos

The latest fashion item trending this fall is the poncho!  A unique piece of bohemian flair, this is an excellent choice to wear over leggings and provides for perfect layering potential.
