Fall Fashion Essentials for Female College Students

Fall is right around the corner which means colorful leaves, comfy outfits, pumpkin everything, bonfires, and Halloween. Fall is one of my favorite seasons for all of these reasons. Even if you don’t love fall as much as me, maybe I can make you at least fall in love with the trends. 

The color palette for Fall

If these colors don’t make you think of fall I don’t know what else will! All of these neutral colors compliment each other perfectly making it incredibly easy to choose a top and bottom to create the perfect fall outfit. The fall color palette consists of warm toned colors representing the leaves changing and the chiller weather ahead of us.

Ugg Slippers/ Birkenstock Clogs: I saved the best for last… Throw them on when you’re going to class or planning your next fall activity

  • Matching Sets: The easiest, but most put together look. A sweatshirt and sweatpants doesn’t sound nice, but I’m going to classes, to coffee dates, to running errands, you’ll be staying stylish all day long.
