As fall sweeps across campus, it brings more than pumpkin spice lattes and scenic autumn leaves. It’s the season for layering up in style! The fall fashion season in Houston seems to have its own surprises. Weather patterns fluctuate between pleasantly cool and warm and humid, almost always accompanied by a few surprise rain showers.

With the unexpected rainy spells, you need outfits which adapt to sudden weather changes and varying temperatures. Whether it’s about mastering the art of layering, knowing which essentials to keep in your closet or avoiding common fall fashion pitfalls, here’s everything you need to look and feel great on campus this season.

Fall Fashion Do’s: Layer your clothes!

Even though we are not getting super chilly weather in Houston all fall, we are starting to get the breeze. With this in mind, we need to start layering to make the transition from summer to fall. An example can be one of your summer dresses with a cardigan and ankle boots. You can also wear shorts with a pair of tights and a chunky knit sweater.

Boots

Ankle boots, Chelsea boots, cowboy boots or combat boots are great for fall weather and style. Get ready with fall’s favorite accessory—boots! They’re back and eager to make a stylish statement as you stroll through the crisp, crunchy leaves.

Cozy Sweaters

Choose chunky knit sweaters, cardigans or turtlenecks for cozy layering this fall. It’s also the perfect time to bring out those thick hoodies for an extra layer of warmth!

Wear Comfortable Shoes

To enjoy effortless walking on campus, opt for comfortable options like sneakers, loafers or flats. And while it’s the season to flaunt your warm Uggs, just watch your step when it rains!

Fall Fashion Accessories

Complete your style by accessorizing with a scarf, a snug beanie, a cute bow or a stylish hat to tie everything together.

Fall Fashion Don’ts: Summer clothes–well, that depends.

Leave tank tops, shorts and sandals for warmer weather. But don’t pack away all of those summertime clothes just yet! Houston’s unpredictable fall weather means your favorite warm-weather pieces can still make a few surprise appearances!

Uncomfortable Clothing

Prioritize comfort when choosing clothes for long days on campus. Now, with finals approaching, comfort is key during these stressful times. Luckily, there are plenty of options for staying cozy and stylish, from soft layers to relaxed fits to help you feel your best while tackling exams and projects.

Anything Too Revealing

Avoid overly short skirts, low-cut tops or anything too light. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself shivering around campus as temperatures dip.
