Fall fashion can be the greatest sight when walking around campus. On the other hand, it can also be a disaster. You would think putting together an outfit isn't very difficult, but oh yes it can be. Especially, when there are "rules" you must follow in the fashion world. So, do not worry for here are the top five do's and don't's this fall.
1. Layering
Do: Honestly, why would you not incorporate layering into your outfit? Especially, in this weather where your walk to your 8 a.m. class feels like we live in Antarctica and by the end of the day we magically live in the Death Valley (the hottest place on Earth). Besides helping you conquer the weather, layering is fun, fashionable, and makes you look like you put in more effort into your outfit than you really did.
Don't: I know it's getting colder and we would all just prefer to hide all those pumpkin spice lattes we have been drinking under layers of clothing, but don't. You do not want to look like Joey from "Friends."
2. Denim
Do: Denim is huge right now for fall, so take advantage! I would highly recommend to go and invest in some really cute denim jackets. Denim jackets compliment with anything and it's just the cherry on top to any outfit.
Don't: Just because denim is the hottest trend right now, it does not mean to go dress yourself from head to toe in it. Please, you wouldn't want to be mistaken for Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake back in 2001 at the 28th Annual American Music Awards.
3. Uggs
Do: You probably have heard at least someone say, "why are Uggs still a thing?" To answer that question, have you ever worn Uggs? They are like small clouds made just for your feet, so why wouldn't you wear them?! Uggs are great for when it is getting chilly outside and the laziness starts to kick in. So, go ahead and pull out your Uggs, but really try to wear them at least only once a week.
Don't: As much as you love your Uggs and own multiple pairs (guilty), do not wear them everyday.
4. Scarfs
Do: Not only do scarfs help you keep warm, they also make great accessories for this fall. So, next time you reach for your scarf remember to wear your hair up. This will help draw more attention to the shape of your face and believe me you'll have more range of motion for your head.
Don't: DO NOT WEAR YOUR HAIR DOWN! Trust me, wearing your hair down when wearing a scarf is not a pretty picture, nor comfortable (been there, done that, and never again). It takes away the shape of your face, your neck will be itchy, and don't get me started when you have to look over your shoulder... oh, wait, you can't because your hair is in the way.
5. Lips
Do: We live in a world where lips are the new trend (thank you, Kylie). So, this fall make your make-up's focal point your lips! Dark colors will do the job just right, as well as nudes and peachy colors.
Don't: If you're going with a dark shade on your lips, then put that black eyeliner and dark eye shadows down, darling. Do not take the attention away from your lips with unnecessary (bold) eye make-up. Just keep it simple, but effective.
So, what are you waiting for?! Go and own those campus sidewalks like never before.
