The weather is changing and that is evident by the Fall/Winter fashions that can be seen on the campus of Jackson State University.

Some students feel that it is easier to be more fashion forward during this time of year.

At JSU, students are gracing the plaza with the latest and most exquisite trends for this season.

One of these trends is the pairing of shorts and mini skirts with a unique printed tights and combat boots.  Oversized cardigans and a heavy scarf are often worn with this style.

Students will notice this fashion season that many styles once again are coming back from the 1980s and 1990s.

Marissa Simms, a JSU alumnus and owner of the Royal Bleu Boutique, added her thoughts on the latest trends that will keep you warm and looking hot at the same time.

“My favorite Fall fashion items will have to be scarves and skullies because they are your accent pieces,”said Simms.

Simms also explained why it is easier to be more fashionable during the cold months.

“I feel as if I am more fashionable during the winter season because you can do a lot of layering to spice up your coats and boots,” said Simms.

Lianna Norris, a sophomore biology pre-med major from Grand Rapids, Mich., said, “My favorite Fall fashion item is a simple scarf because I feel that a scarf can be worn year round. A light scarf for the spring and a heavy scarf for the winter.”

A few items ladies should have in their closet this season are structured blazers, scarves, thigh high boots, printed tights, oversized sweaters, boyfriend cardigans, chunky- heel pumps, faux fur collars, lace dresses and turtle necks.

A few items the guys should have in their Fall fashion wardrobe include sports jackets, dress shirts, slim fit suits, loafers, scarves and sweaters.

There are also some fashion faux pas that should be avoided during this fashion season.

• DON’T practice excessive color blocking.  Students should avoid wearing ten different colors at a time.
• DON’T wear UGG boots in 70 degree plus weather.  DON’T is that you don’t have to play it safe with your handbag this winter.

The DO’s for this winter is adding wine color to your fall wardrobe. DO add pointy toe pumps to your shoe collection this winter and DO mix sporty with ladylike. Practical meets pretty?

I hope some of you have considered some of these fall/winter fashion tips and will use them to look your best this season.
