It’s never too early to throw yourself full force into the fall spirit. The weather may not indicate that it’s time for pumpkin spice lattes, changing leaves and Halloweentown marathons but that should never stop you from letting your colors show—specifically maroon. Maybe we’re stuck in this pre-fall post-summer limbo where the weather is about as unsure as we are about paying for that $300 dollar textbook, but choose your season and wear it proudly.
Check out how this Fashionisto wore his fall colors. He chose a pair of damask maroon and black leggings as his focal point. He built around them with a simple black V-neck and a black vest. He accessorized with a minimal gold bar necklace, and some black leather combat boots with gray wool detailing. Everything about this outfit screams fall.
The formula here is to mix practicality with style. Leggings are essential for the fall because they’re warm and cozy. Not to mention the plethora of options you have when it comes to pairing them with outfits. They come in hundreds of styles and patterns, making getting dressed on chilly mornings easier. Nobody wants to spend time choosing an outfit before an 8:00 a.m. class when it’s below freezing outside.
How To: In order to achieve this look, find a pair of leggings that stand out for either their pattern or their color. Find a top that’s basic enough to complement the focal point of your outfit but cut in a way that it isn’t too boring. Then accessorize with minimal jewelry and some heavy looking boots to center the look.
