While you’re packing for next semester, consider how you could give your wardrobe an update. It will help to know what styles are in fashion this fall — in particular, what’s trending with university students. Use these fashion trends to decide what clothing and accessories to pick up for yourself.
1. Matching Workout Attire
Being comfortable is always a priority for students. Workout gear is not only comfortable, it’s ideal for everything from classes and hanging out with friends to actual workouts. This fall semester, expect to see many students wearing matching workout sets.
2. Uggs
Something else trending due to comfort are Uggs. These are perfect for the fall as the weather turns cooler because they’ll also keep your feet warm in chilly classrooms, especially the classic boots.
3. Messy Hairstyles
Don’t expect to see much of the slicked-back hairstyles that were prevalent on campus last year. This fall, students are embracing a messy look. This is great news if you’re often running late in the mornings, as it requires much less effort to achieve than a gelled hairstyle.
4. Casual Business Wear
Sometimes, students like to dress up a bit. Expect to see students around campus who are wearing clothing inspired by traditional business wear but more casual. This look is ideal for occasions when you want to look more professional but don’t want to come across as too formal.
5. Eye-Catching Accessories
To stand out from the crowd, students are choosing big, bold accessories. This includes chunky chains, statement rings, and oversized earrings.
6. Sustainable Clothing
Another way to look unique is to go thrifting for your clothing. This is a major trend on university campuses because it shows a commitment to sustainability and embraces an eco-friendly lifestyle.
7. Varsity Jackets
A style that never goes out of fashion among students is varsity jackets. If you only have one piece of attire with your university’s name on it, make it a varsity jacket.
8. Large Tote Bags
Models on the runway have been flaunting big tote bags in 2024. This is great news for students, who often need to carry a large amount of stuff with them all day.
9. Bows
You’ll see bows everywhere this semester. They feature on everything from hair clips and handbags to all sorts of clothing. It’s all about turning the original connotation of a bow on its head to redefine femininity.
10. Peach Fuzz
Since Peach Fuzz was Pantone’s colour of the year for 2024, expect to see this tone making a big appearance on campus. You’ll see it combined with other trends, such as casual suits, oversized bags, and workout attire.
