Cut-off jean shorts and tees are slowly being shed, replaced with light jackets and trousers. Here in Kingston, the seasons change from 25 degrees and sunny to gold, crunchy leaves underfoot very quickly, so it’s essential that pieces in your wardrobe are able to transition between seasons. Luckily QFSF has a few fall fashion trends and ideas for you, so you can put your most fashionable foot forward on the first day of school.
Resurgence of Red
Maybe it’s the revival of Taylor Swifts Red, or the changing colour of the leaves, but red is back. Forget the plain blue jeans and white tee combo, give your outfit a pop with a red leather jacket, a red lip or even red nails. Another easy way to add a pop of red is a scarf or even a flannel over top of a shirt. An elegant, timeless colour that adds so much spunk to a simple fall outfit.
Incognito
The model-off-duty look is a well-known trend, exemplified by celebrities such as Kaia Gerber, Bella Hadid and Jacob Elordi. It’s fun to go incognito, and pieces such as long trenches and hoodies are great for the transition to colder days. Sunglasses and baseball hats are other accessories that add to the off-duty look. The great thing about these accessories is they are pieces that most people have in their wardrobe. They’re great transition pieces from sunny summer days to cooler fall days on campus. Accessories such as these can also easily be bought second-hand for low prices.
School Uniform Chic
Because it’s back-to-school season, why not play into the preppy, school uniform fashion? Sweater vests and cardigans are a simple way to play into this aesthetic, while also keeping you warm as the seasons change. I’m not sure about everyone else, but when I think of fall, I think of plaid. Skirts, flannels, and sweaters; these timeless pieces come around every year like clockwork. Another piece of the school uniform puzzle is footwear. Brands like Doc Martens have brought around the resurgence of loafers, a versatile piece that can be paired with anything, instantly elevating any look.
Cargo
In the past few months cargo is making a resurgence. Long skirts in khaki green and grey can be found all over Pinterest, alongside baggy cargo pants. These pieces add a bit of spice and flare to any outfit, while also being very useful with their many pockets. Cargo pants and skirts can easily be transitioned from warmer days - a simple tee and sneakers - to colder fall days with a chunky knit sweater and loafers.
