This week we’re all a buzz about fall trends — the best part of the air getting a little cooler.
So…tell us…what fall trend have you been waiting to wear? Dying to rip the tags off?
I just bought 2 cardigans and I can't wait for the weather in Texas to cool down so I can wear them! I'm also a big fan of scarves, so I can't wait for that either.

Forever 21 Draped Cardigan, $24.80
I am so looking forward to bulking up my wardrobe with varsity inspired pieces — I'm talking pleated skirts, letterman jackets, blazers, knee socks, and oxfords in deep shades of mustard, burgundy, or grey.
- Mariel Loveland, Contributing Writer, SUNY Purchase
I'm obsessed with dark, vampy nail polishes right now, especially Essie's Velvet Voyeur. It's such a fun color for fall!
Essie’s Velvet Voyeur Nail Polish, $6.95
There are a few trends I look forward to wearing this fall. I think that I'm most excited to wear oversized cardigans and sweaters (specifically in a camel color because it appeared in many of the runways for fashion week). There are so many ways to wear an oversized sweater: with leggings, jeans, a mini skirt, shorts, paired with an oversized necklace, etc.
I am loving the 50's trend on the runway these days! I'm hoping a stylish camel hair coat will keep me warm through the Chicago winter!
- Molly Munson, Campus Correspondent, University of Chicago
I love the military trend. I just bought a cropped olive jacket with gold buttons that I can't wait to wear! Normally I hate the cold weather up in State College, but now I'm actually looking forward to it.
- Jen Kach, Campus Correspondent, Penn State
I'm really into leopard, and I'm hoping to get a couple more pieces for my wardrobe this fall. I love the way it looks with red patent leather. Meow!
Fall is prime sweater and jeans weather — I love that cool, crisp, air. My two favorite wardrobe pieces for fall: my camel trench and brown leather boots. Skinny jeans are perfect tucked into calf-height boots, and the trench is a classic that updates any basic jeans-and-tee outfit!
MICHAEL Michael Kors Trench Coat, $250
I have been desperately searching for a good pair of clogs. I know they aren't everybody's cup of tea, but I can't wait to get my hands on some!
- Sarah Weinberg, Contributing Writer, San Diego State University
Metallic detailing on jewelry, clothing, shoes — basically everything! I'm obsessed with heavily studded pieces and anything with an emphatic zipper.
Wrist length leather driving gloves!
Purple! Purple is my favorite color and is always a gorgeous, deep tone for fall. The color looks fantastic on everyone and is a great look for the cooler weather, especially in chunky sweaters! The #1 accessory I cannot live without are my flat, black, leather boots. As much as I love the sunny California summers, I can't wait to trade in my flip-flops for the oh-so fashionable flat boot.
I may not be ready to try it out myself, but I am excited to see how college students take on the return of double denim this season. I would love to see how it's done and then incorporate it into my own wardrobe to stay on trend.
- Gennifer Delman, Contributing Writer, Hofstra University
I'm on the hunt for skinny cargo pants. I haven't found the perfect pair yet, but it seems like a great alternative to my usual routine of jeans!
7 For All Mankind Skinny Cargo Pants, $169
Leather, fur and cashmere! Along with fire-colored leaves and pumpkin spice lattes, fall fashion is part of the reason autumn is my favorite season. Cozy knit layers and leather boots, here I come!
- Kelsey Mirando, Campus Correspondent, University of Missouri
Dark, vampy lipstick! I love big watches and fun nail polish.
I absolutely can't wait to wear my patterned black tights. I have these cute flowered and chevroned pairs that I am dying to make some good use of!
- Rachel Petersen, Campus Publicity Correspondent, James Madison University
Betsey Johnson Floral Tights, $20
Hoodies! My idea of fashionable clothing is nice jeans, so even though I love the summertime, I absolutely adore the fall because I can just live in hoodies!
