Must-have autumn attire for students

With fall and back-to-school season starting, it's time to pull those clothes out of storage or go shopping for some new pieces! 

Here is a little guide to help you look your best this fall.

Neutral Hoodies

Fall is known as "hoodie season" since it's a bit of an in-between of the warm and colder months. Investing in a few different neutral-colored hoodies makes for excellent and simple day-to-day outfits during the fall. They're also ideal for when you want a comfy outfit to wear to class or the dining hall.

Fall is the best time for neutral colors such as black, brown and grey, so getting a few basic neutral hoodies is a necessary addition to your closet. It makes curating outfits so much easier.

Amazon is a good place to find quality and affordable hoodies in any color.

Quality Jeans

Pair those new hoodies with a good pair of jeans like Levi's, and you'll have the ultimate fall fit. You don't need to own many pairs of jeans, but having two or three high-quality pairs is an excellent addition to your wardrobe and can easily elevate any outfit. Light and dark jeans are great staple pieces and go with pretty much anything!

Since the weather gets a little chillier in the fall, jeans are the best pants for the season because they are versatile enough to work with the changing weather. 

Sweaters

Sweaters are by far the best part of fall fashion. Some solid sweaters, such as this viral one from Aelfric Eden, are a must for everyday outfits.

Basics are great, but with so many sweater styles to choose from, there's no need to limit yourself. Wearing sweaters like a cashmere sweater or a cardigan is a great way to show off your personality while staying warm this fall.

If you are on a budget, shopping at thrift stores like Goodwill is an excellent option for finding unique, cozy sweaters for the fall.

UGGs

You know fall has arrived once the UGGs are out! UGGs are essential for the season because they are warm, stylish and comfortable. They come in many different styles and colors — regardless of your fashion sense, there's a perfect pair for everyone.

Investing in a classic pair of UGG slippers or boots is a more than worthwhile investment. Even though they go great with hoodies or sweaters, as the temperature continues to drop, they should stay in your rotation.

Unfortunately, UGGs can be pricey. If you are more interested in their aesthetic than their quality, Amazon sells almost identical shoes at much cheaper prices!

Beanies

If you regularly wear snapbacks or baseball caps, swapping them out for beanies is a seamless transition, especially since they'll keep you warmer. You'll want to reach for a beanie on those super chilly, windy fall days or when you're having a bad hair day.

Not only are beanies snug and convenient, but also trendy and a great way to show off your personality. There are so many different patterns and colors to choose from, so don't be afraid to be bold!

Turtle Necks

Turtlenecks are a little more controversial — they aren't the most popular item of clothing, but they're fantastic for layering! Sometimes a sweater just isn't enough to keep you warm and it might not be cold enough yet for a jacket. Throwing on a turtleneck under your sweater or shirt will keep you snug and amplify your attire.

While turtlenecks come in every color, grabbing a white long-sleeve one is your best bet. They're timeless pieces of clothing that everyone should have in their closet.

Whether you're planning on buying some new threads for the fall or working with what you have, the fall is the perfect time to try new things. As you meet new people, it's important to look your best and be your most confident self.
