There is just no way I would make it to class in time if I was wearing the newest fashions: A head-to-toe Marc by Marc Jacobs patterned pantsuit, 5-inch stilettos and socks under my heels.
To say the least, I’m no runway model. Although my love of fashion will always and forever extend to the runways, the most I can do while studying at school is incorporate some of the runway’s best trends into my everyday wardrobe.
As the leaves start to brighten and the weather cools down, fashion is definitely starting to heat up. Leather leggings? So in this season. Peplums? Still cool.
The Daily Tar Heel was able to catch up with Teen Vogue editor Jenn Talley, along with a few fashion experts of our own to learn just how to wear these hot new fall trends.
Floral and polka-dotted denim
Jeans are no longer just blue. This fall, floral, polka-dotted and printed denim is everywhere. How much fun is that? When picking a pair of printed denim, Talley suggests that you choose a pair that’s form fitting — but not too tight. The trick is to pick a figure-flattering pattern, she said in an email.
“Dress printed denim up with a loose-fitting solid blazer, or dress them down by rolling up the hems and topping the look off in a chambray shirt,” Talley said.
“Side note: Invest in a great chambray button-down. Chambray can be worn year-round and works with almost everything.”
Patterned jeans are such an easy way to make a simple outfit trendy. This one simple piece can do so much for an outfit.
