The pressure to follow the latest trends can be intense. High fashion on the runway can also be an intimidating look to recreate for a college student. It’s hard to pull off furry shoes or long gloves on a Wednesday at McKeldin.
Here are seven, campus-friendly trends from Elle’s Complete Fall 2015 Trend Guide you can start wearing NOW.
- The groutfit lives on
Full on grey suits were shown all over the runway. Elle describes an all grey outfit as the chicest thing you can do. While a suit maybe too much for class, pairing traditional grey separates for a stylish look is totally doable, even for an 8 a.m. class.
- Raising the waist
- Hike it up
Don’t be afraid to show some skin and slide on that mini skirt. Whether or not you go for an A-line skirt or something more fitted remember to keep the length at a minimum.
- Cold shoulder…elbow and forearm
Although this might be hard to pull off during the day, a one-shoulder dress, long sleeve on one side and sleeveless on the other, is a cool way to spice up your night.
- Checkerboard chick
Classic plaid is a staple that does not seem to go away. Reinvent your game day flannel for a more polished look.
- Over the knee boots
Your favorite fashion blogger may already be showing off their sky-high boots this season. Don’t let the time commitment of lacing these suckers up deter you from joining in on the fun; many pairs of these sexy shoes are equipped with zippers on the side.
- Nutty nylons
