What’s hot for fall fashion

Fashion trends for men stay casual and preppy this season, while females re-invent the ‘80s

Fashion trends from decades ago are back in style in a whole new way. This fall, the styles for women are reflecting the styles from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.


Pencil skirts and tapered jeans are in this fall with tall, stiletto boots or pumps. However, for a more casual look, try round-toe pumps with short dresses and skirts. This look, straight from the ‘80s, will be very hot for women.


Instead of bringing the wild ‘80s colors along with the pumps, designers have paler colors in mind.


“There will be an explosion of gray and people will be wearing a lot of neutral colors,” sophomore Jessica Doan said.


Although women’s trends change constantly from year to year, guys’ fashion is not scheduled to change as drastically. Sophomore Ellen Clemons thinks that men’s style in clothing changes by the decade instead. Khakis and polo shirts will most likely stay in style for the remainder of this decade.


“Fashion for guys tends to stay the same for years, mostly because of money reasons—guys just don’t have the money to keep up,” sophomore David Point said.


Not every style for women is changing though. Some of the continuing fashions on campus this fall will be the popular UGG boots, North Face fleeces and leggings.


With these tips in mind, Elon men and women will be sure to be styling this fall semester.
