Think of browns. Think of trench coats. Think of fall fashion. What are the trends you see when it comes to fashion for the fall?
California’s diversity in taste of fashion varies from one-layered clothing to multiple-layered clothing ensembles. Navigating the multiple variations of what is considered “Fall Fashion” is your in-depth analysis and guide for 2021.
“When I think of Fall Fashion I think of boots, beanies, leather jackets, face piercings,” said Monica Hernandez, Tutti Frutti manager on Pacific Avenue. With new and upcoming trends, it’s important to remember the staple pieces.
For fall fashion, acknowledging your fundamental pieces can help put together your outfit. Having a crewneck stashed in the backseat of your car can add a layer to your outfit. From the creamish whites to subtle brown tones, crewnecks offer a sense of comfortability and functionality to your outfit.
If executive style is not in your wardrobe, there are plenty more to work with. If you’re more of the simplistic style, next is the “subtle fashion icon.” For this, it’s important to have a colorful pattern or animal print to help create the pop of style in the outfit. While you’re keeping the fit tamed and safe, you’re expressing your inner fashionista through this article of clothing. Think of hats or bags. They both serve functional purposes for the fall. Think of the grunge influencers on TikTok and Instagram, pairing their fits with chains and small jackets. It’s more of a spin on Y2k Fashion, and a modernized version for 2021. This style is often paired with blacks and darker colors with baggy pants to appear bolder and louder. 
For fall fashion, acknowledging your fundamental pieces can help put together your outfit. Having a crewneck stashed in the backseat of your car can add a layer to your outfit. From the creamish whites to subtle brown tones, crewnecks offer a sense of comfortability and functionality to your outfit. When pairing your outfit with a crewneck, there are multiple ways of assembling the style. One way of pairing it is with a cream crew neck paired with a red wind-resistant fabric and subtle details of black inner lining. To match, you can pair the outfit with a red baseball hat and wide length pants to provide the cozy fitting of pants. The wide-length pants provide an illusion of looking visually taller than usual. After slipping on a pair of skateboarding shoes, for the ease and access on putting them on, the outfit is assembled. With this outfit it gives you a fashionable but comfortable style. 
Last style, if “subtle fashion icon” is not your thing, is the “I just rolled out of bed” style. “I often see students wear sweats, and black, because it’s midterm season and no one really cares,” said Mylea Phou, a Hobby Lobby customer service manager. For this style, you’d typically pair this fit with a black puffy jacket. The bigger the better. This helps provide safety in your clothes without having to put in too much effort. After that, you’d pair the fit with sweatpants and comfortable shoes. This style is to give the illusion that you’re primed and ready for the day while you just rolled out of bed. 
However if comfortability isn’t your forte, there are other styles. One classic outfit is executive in style. For this pair, you layer the outfit with a trench coat that not only displays a business-like ready-to-go style, but someone who’s prepared for a meeting on the demand. The purpose of the trenchcoat is to add the icing on top of the cake. Underneath the trenchcoat serves the bases of the coat, with this it’s important to emphasize and prioritize neutral and less-conflicting colors. This not only helps lessen the eye-strain but makes the outfit visually appealing to everyone. “Browns, orange, and red undertones are what I see for fall,” said Dakota Whirlow, a Delta College student in the nursing major. Paired with white shoes to add a subtle pop of cleanliness and comfortability to the outfit.
