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

A new school year is the perfect excuse to update your wardrobe. Trends come and go, but there are key pieces that are worth the investment. Before your shopping spree, take a look at these five staples that are perfect for back to school and fall weather. Get ready to make our campus your runway!

1. Faux Fur

Faux fur is ideal to have on a chilly autumn night. It adds texture to an outfit and never goes out of style. This material in a vest or cropped jacket ensures that it will keep your outfit trendy without overpowering you.

 

2. Ankle Boots

Ankles boots are versatile and chic for the fall. They go with every outfit and are comfortable enough to walk around campus. They come in almost any color and you can get them with no heel or a high one. 

3. Chunky Turtleneck Sweater

As the temperature drops, you’re going to need something to bundle up in. Chunky turtleneck sweaters have the perfect amount of warmth and style. They typically come in looser fits, and are best worn with leggings or skinny jeans. 

4. Flared Jeans

Do not fear the flare because it’s coming back in style. Jeans are a classic piece to any wardrobe. The flare cut gives it a modern twist. You can style it with loose tops for a boho look, or a fitted blazer for something more classic.  

5. Suede

Suede is a popular material for this coming fall. It’s usually done in rich brown and tan tones, which makes it serve as a neutral. Using suede also adds texture to an outfit, which will elevate your look. You can get suede made in skirts or shirts, or even on a purse if you’re only looking for that small pop of detail!
