Fall Fashion Trends: 4 Essentials

by Samantha Winger – Sardis Secondary, Chilliwack BC Sep 12, 2011

We've got four wardrobe essentials for back-to-school and the looming fall weather.

There is one positive thing about going back to school five days a week: showing off your new wardrobe! Nothing is a bigger confidence booster than feeling like a million bucks in layers of cozy, stylish pieces. These four essential fall pieces will keep you comfortable and looking your best from morning till the bell rings.


Cropped leather jacket


Worried about being a bit cold this fall, but not loving the idea of that down jacket hiding your cute laboured-over outfit? Add to your wardrobe with a sleek leather jacket. Wear it zipped up to avoid the chill, then zip it down to show off your cute top underneath. Casual yet chic, this jacket is a must-have fall essential. And if you can’t afford real leather, there are plenty of synthetic options out there too.

Long cardigan


A definite fall staple, a long cardi is as versatile as it is timeless. Layer it for ample warmth, but when the sunshine breaks through the clouds, roll up the sleeves and flaunt some shiny bangles!

Ankle boots

As fall rolls around, so does the rainy weather and there’s nothing better then a pair of ankle boots to keep the water out while still looking sharp. Even if you sleep through your alarm, you can quickly pair your boots with tights and your long cardigan.

Great carryall bag


Tired of not having what you need on the go? A stylish carryall is the answer to all your toting woes! A bag that will fit the basics (your cellphone, lip gloss and hand sanitizer) as well as your school supplies will definitely come in handy for those back-to-school days. Far more fashionable than a backpack, carrying a chic satchel will have you looking like you’re on the runway, not in the hallway.
