Fall fashion trends for the past couple years haven’t changed much, but for some once you feel that autumn breeze you know fall fashion is in the air. The leaves falling off the trees is always a sign fall is on the way. For the past couple of years the style of Y2K has come back stronger than ever. And has been noticed in fall fashion. We’ve got the Uggs which have been popular for a while, the chunky sweaters and jean skirts.
But how long have these clothing items been in style? Looking back in time the popular fall shoes Uggs were created in 1978 in Southern California by an Austrian surfer named Frank Morte. These shoes have never gone out of style, but it has been noticed that they have spiked in the early 2000’s and 2020’s.
Chunky Sweaters however have been popular since the 1970s. With a dramatic rise in the 21st century when they turned into a ugly Christmas sweater trend. People wear funny, ridiculous Christmas sweaters but they started to turn into cute sweaters.
”I love when I can find a cozy, fall sweater thrifting! They are usually super cute, great quality, and are a lot cheaper than buying a new sweater,”. Thrift Club member Maya Larson said..
Jeans skirts also have a pretty cool history behind them dating back to the early 1960s when people used their old denim clothing and would upcycle them into jean skirts. They also are a huge iconic part of the Y2k trends. With endless pairings with sweaters, basic tees, blouses and much more!
Many stores have fall fashion lines. These include GAP which has a section online called “The Fall Trend Edit”. The styles include tailored vests and pants, barn jackets, different kinds of skirts, cardigans, jeans and many more styles!
Hollister also has some fall styles similar to GAP but more targeted to teens. There’s a lot of off the shoulder sweaters, v necks, neutral colored sweatshirts and scoop necks. American Eagle has a fashion line featuring cute pumpkin snoopy stickers,
But when it comes to loving fall fashion and hating it, what does the community have to say?
“My favorite piece of fall fashion is probably a leather jacket,” freshman Sabine Carter-Doody (9) said.
Recently leather jackets have become really popular especially ones from Pac Sun and Edikted.
There are some things for you to consider when creating a perfect fall outfit. If you’re looking for a perfect place to get style advice Pinterest would be perfect for it. Even when you just search up fall you will discover a million cute styles.
One thing that you will see from these Pinterest outfits is that it’s extremely important in any kind of fashion to have basics. This just means having a couple pairs of jeans, leggings and some long sleeve basics. If you have those sorts of basics you can build any outfit off of them.
There is one show that has some major impacts on fall fashion. Which is Gilmore Girls. A lot of this season is set in fall and some of the fashion trends from this show have been showcased in fashion here at Hale.
Now that’s talk trends as mentioned early there are a lot of fall trends that sometimes are popular for the whole year. Last year we saw leopard jeans, baby tees and low rise jeans as some of the most popular fashion trends in teens.
But this year zebra jeans might just be the next big thing.
Sometimes you wonder how a trend becomes a trend? Usually they start on social media with maybe one of your favorite influencers wearing a piece of statement fashion that you just have to get your hands on. I can say for me that’s the way I find new clothes and accessories. That makes an outfit come together perfectly. You can also look up lists of fall 2025 trends and be the first to showcase them at school.
Hale has its very own thrift club which features club members who are passionate about fashion and 2nd hand clothing. Thrift shops are a great place to fund fall clothing from many varieties of brands.
“My favorite spot to thrift is definitely the Goodwill bins since you pay by the weight, so it is super cheap, ” Larson said.
However it can be changeling to find nice stuff thrifting.
“I like to go thrifting in the morning since it’s not picked over and you get all fresh finds,” she says
Pop on those sweaters and have a great fall!
