Back to life, back to reality, back to school. It's normal to have the blues during this time of year, but that doesn't mean your wardrobe has to suffer! This year, it's all about comfortable chic! Razer-sharp blazers, warm boots, and smart layers are all a part of this fall's trend watch, and we'll give you three tips on how to recreate these great Fall looks for class.
Tip #1: Dressing up is a BIG no-no!
Ladies, please save yourself the embarrassment by looking like you just stepped into a club. Dresses and bare legs are NOT appropriate for the classroom! On the bright side, most dresses or skirts can be dressed down with leggings and flats. Sky-high heels are also not a great choice for a long day of classes. However, if you insist on wearing them, choose a basic color and style, and make sure you don't bring straps into the equation!
Tip #2: A Blazer can be your BFF
If you're not into casual dresses or skirts and you still want to make a conscious effort to look good, we have a solution for you. How about a trying a blazer? They can give your basic jeans-and-a-tee attire a trendy new outlook! Blazers these days are sure to be sold at a decent price, so it's a style that won't break your bank, and can be mixed with all kinds of looks. Just a note: make sure it fits! You don't want to look like you're wearing a men's blazer.
Tip #3: Denim skirts paired with Uggs is NOT a trend!
It's simple. Denim skirts are for warm weather, and Uggs are for the cold. If you mix the two, it just winds up looking awkward. Ladies, Uggs look perfectly fine with jeans! However, if you want to spice up your boot collection, Ugg Australia offers much more fashionable options as well as their original boots. In fact, they just added few new must-have boots for fall.
