Happy fall everyone! Interested in staying stylish while it gets colder? Here are the top ten fashion trends this fall season.
10. Graphic T-Shirts
Graphic Tees might sound a little basic, but hear me out. Graphic tees originated in the late 1960s. Marland Brando is credited with popularizing them when he wore one in the movie “A Streetcar Named Desire”. They are comfy, practical and go well with things like zip up jackets, any kind of jeans, leggings, flannel pants, and skirts. With some necklaces and bracelets, you can really add your own personality. They can be bought at thrift stores, Walmart, Target, Amazon, SHEIN, and basically any other clothing store.
9. Letterman Jackets
These jackets are everywhere. Jock or not, this style could be perfect for you. They are really cute and easy to style!
