As the leaves redress themselves in brilliant golden hues, and the temperature inches downward, we find ourselves changing our wardrobes to welcome the harvest season. Sometimes it's challenging to feel cute when your chilly, but your Autumn wardrobe doesn't have to leave you looking like an eskimo, so you can save your snowsuit for the dead of the Winter.
Fall clothing happens to be my favorite as it allows you to experiment with layers and deep, warm colors to find outfits that are both flattering and practical. Fall is a prime season to draw inspiration for your fashion from nature. Mother Nature provides the ideal color palette for your closet with the warm tones of the leaves. Colors that emerge both in nature and fashion during Autumn include auburn, sienna, cabernet, chestnut, eggplant, hunter, and pumpkin. All these shades are deep reds, dark purples, warm greens, and burnt oranges. Now fashion artisans, give your palette dimensions by layering your clothing.
A thick pair of leggings are a must- have piece for fall, and a worthy investment in the long run. This season printed and patterned leggings are making an appearance. Keep your eyes pealed for tribal print and ombré leggings on the market this season. A classic favorite alternative to leggings is dark wash jeans. Alex Lazaar, a fashion- forward Senior, told me "My Fall wardrobe is my favorite! I am especially in love with dark jeans, my brand of choice is Paige, and cute, preppy scarves".
Another necessary layer in the Autumn months is a sturdy, versatile jacket. Leather jackets are a classic, in both tan and black, but this season us girls are taking a page out of the boys book. You'll observe a lot of "male inspired" outerwear ranging from loose fitting military jackets to denim button ups. Freshman, True Skalde says "I want to stay warm during the school day, but still look cute! I live in my tan leather jacket during the Fall seasons!". True showed me some of her favorite Fall outfits from seasons past:
