It’s that time of year again and all eyes are on the new fall fashion trends.  Even though the cold temperatures haven’t come yet, learn how to transition key summer pieces into autumn with fall’s punk-inspired must haves listed below.  

Boots- Doc Martens are making a comeback; the classic boots have been seen on celebrities and the runway for fall.  The boot trend doesn’t just stop with girls either, guys’ boots are also back in style.  


Flannel- How to style for girls: Flannel shirt, white tee/tank, high-waisted shorts/rolled up boyfriend jeans, boots, and accessorize with either a cross body bag/beanie.  How to style for guys: Flannel shirt, black tee, dark jeans, and boots.


Overalls- Overalls are back in style from the nineties.  How to style: Pair with a black and white striped crop top to make the outfit appropriate for school while staying on top of this season’s trends.   



Crop Tops- Crop tops and maxi skirts are an easy way to keep the summer vibe while still being conservative for school. 



Cross-Body bags- Cross-Body bags instantly give you an effortless bohemian vibe no matter what you are wearing. 

Jackets- When the cold temperatures come, be prepared with this season’s jacket must-haves.  Army jackets, leather jackets, and jean jackets are the most versatile trend for autumn.  Pair this season’s jacket must-haves with your summer muscle tees for an easy school outfit.  How to style for girls: Toughen up a floral summer dress by adding one of the must-have jackets for fall and Doc Martens.  How to style for guys: Rock a leather jacket with a white shirt, dark jeans, and cool sneakers/boots.

Denim- During summer, the denim trend seemed to fall on one style: high-waisted.  For fall, replace high-waisted shorts with high-waisted skirts (denim for the denim trend) and boyfriend jeans for colder days.  For guys, black jeans are on trend for autumn.  



Vertical Stripes- If you want to elongate and thin your legs, vertical stripes on pants and skirts will do just that.
