90's Inspired Fall Fashion

Now that it is finally fall, it is time to break out the sweaters and wool skirts. This fall is the perfect time to try new and different trends. Maybe you're into more 90's trends, which is making a come back recently. This fall you can incorporate 90's fashion by wearing cropped sweaters and mini skirts, or even plaid prints and leather accents. The cropped sweater keeps you warm while also leaving you with a very chic and feminine look. Additionally, mini skirts are a perfect transitional piece because they go great with long sleeve shirts and combat boots/booties. To modernize a 90's styled look, try to keep the colors to a minimum, leaving you with a sleek and classic look that nobody will forget.





Francesca is wearing a cropped hot pink fuzzy jumper from Topshop and a pair of black super skinny high-rise jeans from Urban Outfitters. Most people would think hot pink isn't the norm for fall but recently Sandro updated their window display packed full of pairings of pink and black, so why not incorporate an unusual trend into your style this fall. 













Deena is wearing a classic combination, pairing a simple black long sleeved shirt with an insanely cute a-line cut  wool mini skirt. To finish off the look, she threw on a pair of sheer black tights and black booties. This look is great for those days you want to keep it casual yet trendy.

Fall Fashion Essentials

Fall is officially here and is probably the best if not second best season in the whole entire year. Not only do you get to start sipping warmer drinks, but the fall fashion is impeccable, i.e. the sweaters and the booties. Fall is the type of season where you don't have to dress incredibly warm but you don't have to dress incredibly cold, it's right there in the middle. As the colder days approach with winter being just a few months away, lets cherish the turning leaves and the slight fall breeze, and push aside the treacherous snow and incredibly huge puffy coats. Sweater Weather here we come.

Chunky Knit Sweaters

Chunky knit sweaters are a necessity throughout fall. As the weather gets a bit chillier, it's too hot for huge puffers and lined parkas and too cold for tank tops and tees, so by adding a sweater to your fall fashion, not only will you be in trend but you'll be all cozy and warm. 

Denim/Chambray Shirts

Topshop (Similar)
Denim and Chambray shirts are a great layering piece that you can wear under chunky sweaters or over a simple white top. Denim shirts can go in two different directions, casual and laid back with a pair of leggings or done up and on point with a cashmere sweater layered over and a pair of tall black boots. Denim shirts are also great if you're trying to stay warm because you can wear a tank or tee under and layer on a sweater on top with a leather jacket and you are instantly ten times warmer.

Darker Denim & Ripped Knees

 Now that it's fall, it's time to transition to darker colours. Dark wash jeans are a must in the fall, they can transform any outfit from day to night and obviously summer to fall. You can either dress them down with an oversized cardigan or dress them up with white blouse and point toe heels. 

Vests

Vests are a perfect transition piece for fall because you can still wear 3/4 sleeved shirts and still stay warm with the comfort of a vest. Vest's are also great for the chillier days because you can pair them with a thick sweater and still stay warm throughout the pre-winter chills. As much as I love this leather jacket type zip in the front, I prefer vest with the middle zip for a more causal look when un-zipped. 

Army Green Coloured Jackets

J. Crew
Military jackets are a very popular trend throughout the fall season, but if you're not so into full on vintage army jackets, you can take it down a notch with army green coloured jackets. You can wear thees olive coloured jackets with any outfits, whether you want to wear jeans or a simple LBD, these types of jackets are very versatile. With these types of jackets, since they aren't so heavy, it gives you the leniency to throw a vest on top to give a causal layered look. 

Gold Watches

Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Amy Mini'
A watch is key for the fall, everyone is back in school or back at work, which means time is always on our minds. Not only do we strive to be on time, but we want the best arm candy, and a simple gold watch is a perfect way to spruce up a fall outfit. If gold isn't your thing, there's still silver and rose gold, both give the same affect. 

Chunky Socks

All Urban Outfitters
This is self explanatory, but overly chunky socks are the perfect fall staple. Chunky socks not only give comfort but work with any type of boot, Ankle booties or thigh high boots.

Black Ankle Booties

Jeffrey Campbell
Black booties are a must this fall, from chelsea boots to cut-out booties, all are right on trend. Black booties give a sleek, put together look and can be paired with anything from jeans to a pair of tights and a skirt.

Tall Boots

Stuart Weitzman 'The Mezza Mezza'
Tall boots are another must-have shoe for the fall time, doesn't matter what colour you choose, black, brown or grey, pair them with either chunky socks or an all black legging. I prefer to wear these particular Mezza Mezza boots from Stuart Weitzman with black leggings and a chunky sweater, so it gives that my boots blend together with my leggings.  Last fall and winter, these were the only boots I wore because not only do they give a bit of height with the 1 3/4 inch heel, but they dress up any outfit, even if you're wearing a bagging t-shirt and yoga pants.
