I know the feeling of the frantic morning before the school’s first tag day — it’s a nightmare! The only thoughts going through your head are: “Am I sure it’s really a tag day?” “What if I wear the same sweater as so-and-so?” “What is ‘in’ right now?” And, of course, you’re frantically searching your Snapchat and Instagram to find the latest styles — and then (of course) you can’t find anything. So you text your friends, but you’re running late, so they’re already driving to school. And you decide you’re on your own, but I’m here to tell you you are not! So, the real question is: What is in fashion for the fall wardrobe? 

1) Vests: Did you know cute little vests are in style? They are! Puffy fall vests in brown, black, white and beige are all the rage right now! These vests look perfect on top of a long-sleeve white shirt or a sweater. The image, from “Shop the Mint” is of a woman wearing a black vest with a white shirt underneath. Some other vests, especially shorter versions, also look nice. The vest could also be a wonderful part of a winter wardrobe, making sure any splurge will stay a continuation of fall into the chilly winter months. This fall outfit piece is sure to be perfect with a pumpkin spice latte and a cozy night with friends by the fireplace. 

2) Sweaters: Sweaters have, really, always been in fashion, but they are particularly back this fall. White and brown and white and brown striped sweaters are very popular at the moment. To add, they work very well with vests. Sweaters also carry on into the winter wardrobe, so the sweater season won’t end too soon! Sweaters are perfect for a night out at the movies (where you get home much too late). 

3) Jeans: Okay, yeah, jeans are always in style. But this fall, jeans are the perfect bottoms to go with your favorite top! Abercrombie sells so many different styles of jeans, including ones with bows and patches; you are sure to find the best style for you. Jeans also come in many colors, so they match pretty much anything. Another amazing feature of jeans is they are sold at so many places with so many prices, so they are easy to find and purchase.Whether you’re hanging out at Starbucks sipping a shakin’ espresso on a half day with your besties, or just chilling at home with your brother on the couch for family movie night, jeans are the perfect fall fit with hundreds of styles to match your personality. 

So to recap: fall fashions are perfect for every fall activity. Vests, sweaters and jeans are all amazing editions to your fall wardrobe — or a great start to creating one! Because everyone has their own style and preferences, these fall fashion suggestions may not be right for you.
