On Campus Fashion

          My Fall Semester is finally over, after a long 3 months of hard work I can finally get back to regularly blogging on FTMH. While walking around campus the one thing I'm always looking at is what people are wearing and looking at all the new trends. From September to December I could see how the Summer Trends slowly fell into the Autumn trends and how those became Winter trends. There are few strings that tie the seasons together and this post will give you the inside scoop......

Pants

          In the summertime coloured pants in bright colours and pale pastels were a huge hit. Well that trend is still in for the Fall/Winter Season, but just darker and warmer colours. The most common colours I've seen around campus are maroon, army green, khaki, dark orange, and brown. I personally love all these colours for the Fall and think they look great on everyone. 

 



Jackets & Coats

          As Summer ended, the leaves started to change and the wind started to stroll in we had to start putting on our jackets. For the Autumn my favourite is my leather jacket, and apparently I wasn't the only one. Leather jackets along with denim jackets were a huge hit. However, I did start seeing a new jacket, the trooper jacket. The most common colours I saw in the trooper jacket were in army green, camel brown, and khaki. I really love these jackets and honestly wish I had one of my own. They have hoods which are great because we were getting hit with A LOT of rain, we can thank Sandy for that.

          Fall has steadily turned in Winter and so the leaves have disappeared and the winds have started getting stronger; Man it's freaking cold as hell and I live in Canada, so you can just imagine how cold it is. The most popular winter coats here up north are the Aritzia (popular high end Canadian store that is slowly making its way to the US) parkas and jackets by TNA. A popular Aritiza product is the peacoat, with available styles by Wilfred and Talula. Also in the past few years the Canada Goose Jackets has become a staple in lots of wardrobes as it's incredibly warm- it's almost unreal.

Footwear

          Popular shoes in the earlier crisp days of Fall were Toms, Sperry Topsiders (popular among guys as well), oxfords, flats, and moccasins. But as it started getting colder, boots became the more appropriate form of footwear. From combat boots to knee highs there are so many different types of boots out there to choose from. As Sandy started raining on us Hunters and Tretorn rain boots became a favourite for many girls. Walking around on campus without rainboots is a very unpleasant experience, trust me. As it started getting even colder and exam season started rolling in most girls were just looking for comfort and what best to turn to then our Uggs. That is one boot that I honestly think will not go out of trend. 

Accessories

          Some of the most popular Fall/Winter accessories that will never go out of style are infiniti scarves, headwraps, hats, and gloves. These are my favourite winter accessories because they actually keep you warm! Another popular favourite are the Talula mittens from Aritzia which are lined with fleece and are super warm. Check these out and don't forget to tell us: What are you wearing to keep you warm & in style?
