There is no doubt that every girl has one of those days when she wakes up, does her morning routine, and then has no energy to think up an outfit, so she chooses to make it another “sweat pants and sweatshirt day”. This season’s fashion is so easy to follow that it should not be a struggle for girls to look their best at school.One thing that many high school students have trouble with is the weather, especially in an area like Palos Verdes; the weather can change from gloomy and cold to bright and warm in the same day! To stay warm, it is best to go out and buy a knit cardigan or a chunky sweater. A knit cardigan or sweater will most likely be one of the best purchases for fall because it can be paired with just about any outfit. An outfit that is quick and simple could consist of a maxi dress with a knit sweater and your favorite pair of boots or flats. In addition to that, you can wear a wrap- around neutral colored bracelet with a bronze colored ring or necklace to really personalize the look. That way, on a day starting off cold and suddenly changing to hot, one can always have an alternative outfit by taking off her sweater leaving, her with the maxi dress and cute jewelry.Another thing girls struggle with is feeling comfortable throughout the day. This season brings back the comfy, colored skinny jeans. Colored jeans are one of those things everyone can pull off, but not every color works for everyone. However, deep crimson red, red-orange, navy blue and army green are colors that look good on most people and are easy to work with. Colored jeans are intimidating only because they are hard to match with something without making the entire outfit look like the inside of a crayon box. For an easy ensemble, wear a nice colored pair of skinny jeans with a plain white t-shirt (that way the white t-shirt won’t add more color to the outfit) and finish it off with plain combat boots or a neutral colored pair of flats. An optional step is to find an accessory that matches the color of the jeans, or match the color of the jeans with the color of your nails.“I am one of those girls who likes to keep up with fashion, and lately colored jeans have been in most of the outfits seen in fashion magazines” said sophomore Caylie Landerville. She mentioned, “Colored jeans are really cool because they can easily make an outfit look amazing”.
Two things that are in this season and compliment each other are wide-leg jeans and patterns. These two fashion statements are inspired from 1970’s fashion. To succeed at creating an outfit like this, wear fitted, wide-leg jeans and any loose patterned blouse. Tuck in the blouse so you can wear a skinny belt that matches the blouse’s color. Pairing an outfit like this with oxfords and a small, over-the-shoulder purse would really tie everything together.
To brighten your wardrobe this fall, everything is easy to find at Forever 21 and Foreign Exchange at the Del Amo Mall. At Forever 21, they have a great variety of colored jeans and pattern blouses. Foreign Exchange holds a variety of chunky sweaters, wide-leg jeans, and maxi-dresses.
