As the trees strip down, you’re bundling up. Fall weather is finally here, leaving behind those hot, humid days. There’s nothing better than watching the leaves fall while bringing in this season’s hottest wardrobe essentials. Here’s what we’re swapping out around campus!

Tanks tops for timeless sweaters

Ditch the skimpy racer back tank for an effortless fall look in caramel-colored pullovers or winter white knits. They’re the perfect way to lock in the warmth while sipping those pumpkin spice lattes.

Sky-high sandals for sassy boots

Still in love with your heels regardless of the season? Suit up for fall with heeled equestrians perfect for a day picking apples, or rock the low heel on a combat boot for a roll in the hay.

Sunny Swimsuits for silky scarves

Hide those fading tan lines with the soft swish of a nice silk or cotton scarf in fall brights such as cobalt blue, burnt orange and forest green. 

Max out the Maxi Dress for Knee-High socks and Leg Warmers!

Keep those lower limbs warm in a different way! Pack away the maxi dress and opt to highlight your summer-toned calves with printed knee-highs and neutral leg warmers.

Shelve the short shorts for knit hats

Sometimes less is more. Dare to show a little less skin by covering your locks with cute knit hats that draw attention to your eyes instead of regions a bit further south.

Put the high-low skirts on the down-low for jackets

Whether it’s denim, leather, bomber or trench, jackets are a must for fall. Fight off the windy chill between classes with outerwear as crisp as the weather.

Save the sundresses and opt for tights or leggings

Trying to be cute when you’re cold is a not this fall. Tighten up this season!
