With fall quickly approaching, it is only fitting that we take a look at fall outfit trends and how they can determine who you really are as a person. Let’s dive right in!

  1. Knee High Leather Boots

If you are rocking knee high leather boots this autumn season, just know you are an inspiration to us all. You are always right on time, never flake on plans and give your friends the best birthday presents. You may receive some backlash for this shoe choice, as these boots tend to go in and out in style, but continue to beat to your own drum.

At the end of the day, we all strive to be as put together as you, but let’s face it, you are very far ahead of us and we cannot catch up.

2. Chunky Sweaters

With the air becoming cooler and crisper, sweaters are essential for this time of year. This piece will never go out of style, as it will always be a main staple for our autumn closet.

They are perfect to throw on when you are not feeling 100 percent and always easy to pair with anything. As cozy, soft and comforting as sweaters can be, let’s not forget how scratchy, heavy and irritating it can get after wearing it for a while.

If this sounds like you, you are our classic autumn gal. You find the perfect balance between fun and work, but are never afraid to jump off the beam once in a while.

3. Mini Skirts and Stockings

If you are seen walking around campus with a mini skirt and stockings on, just know you are winning and the queen of fall.

Despite it being so cute, trendy and stylish, we all know it is not the most practical outfit for this time of year. With the weather getting colder, I applaud you for willingly putting yourself through the cold like that, but trust me, we all know you are heavily struggling.

4. Hoodie and Sweatpants Combo

Ah, the good ol’ hoodie and sweatpants combination. What could be better? Let’s face it, it may not be the cutest option, but it is the most comfortable and easiest thing to throw on in the chilly mornings. Its like never leaving the comfort and warmth of your bed.

If this sounds just like you, you’re known to keep things real within the friend group. You are a laid back, go with the flow kind of person who always puts family and friends first.

5. Platform UGG slippers

Chances are you are the next best thing if you are seen walking around campus with the new platform UGG slippers. These slippers are nothing short of trendy or a confidence booster. Although, rumor has it they can be known to twist an ankle or two!

If this is you, you are the life of the party but would rather be asleep in bed at any point during the day. You will do anything to keep up with the latest trends and still rock it in comfort.

In the end, you can never go wrong with any of these fall choices. Some trendy and some not, they define us all as humans and help our inner personality shine through.
