It’s no secret that fashion changes just as much as the weather does.
And with the seasons changing, clothing trends are shifting to accommodate the fall.
Fall fashion has arrived and as students prepare for a switch in their wardrobe they’re anxious to dress up in their hottest gear with boots, scarves, leggings, and coats. Students are experimenting with many different techniques to pull off the perfect autumn look.
“Fall fashion to me this year is all about the shoe wear. It’s working down to up. Smith continues, “So, I believe in starting an outfit off with your shoes,” said Itetra Smith, a senior psychology major from Jonestown, Miss.
Many high fashion stores, like H&M, SoHo, or Hollister have all the latest fashion crazes… fur coats, leather jackets, long couture dresses and boots.
“I just love fall fashion and especially knee high boots. They look great with dresses, skirts and jeans,” said Reyanna Stowes, a mass communications major from Vallejo, Calif.
You do not need to subscribe to Vogue magazine to know that these trends do come with a pretty high price.
So what about shoppers who wish to maintain the fall fashion looks, without the trendy, expensive prices?
Believe it or not, there is a way to achieve the fall look without breaking your budget.
Burlington Coat Factory, Marshalls and TJ Max are just a few of the stores offering the latest fashions, without the hefty department store prices.
This time of year also bring out the fine and dazzling outer wear. This year, matte colors and dark maroons are trending.
Hair is also an important factor with this beautiful weather. From short hair styles to the long Malaysian inches, students have been great examples of how to dress up any and every look. The campus of Jackson State University is alive and well, full of intricate colors, and makes the campus a warm and friendly environment.
If you are looking for fashion ideas and trends for the autumn, check out the countless fashion blogs that can be found on Internet.
“I’m actually not big on magazines. I don’t have a lot of time throughout my day to sit down, pull a magazine or a newspaper out, turn the pages, and all that. So I normally pull out my phone or my iPad and pull up a blog, especially when I am at the mall, because it’s just so much easier. I can type in the store that I am at and immediately get ideas on how to put together an outfit and sometimes I can find great deals and bargains just from using a blog,” said Anna Matthews, an avid blog reader.
Matthews’s favorite blog sites to read about fashion are Elle.com and Style.com.
“Style and Elle both show a lot of the major fashion trends. It’s not always cheap by any means, but I read it to get good ideas. Then I go to stores similar to what they have on their site, and buy the same thing for much cheaper,” said Matthews.
Although students are preparing for the extreme temperatures to come, they can still enjoy the colors of fall, the trends of autumn, and the creative styles to come. Fashion is constantly changing. But keeping up with fashion does not have to be a hassle.
