Back to School Fashion

By Natasha Solouki, Staff Writer

Whether it\’s with a new pair of Ray Ban sunglasses, the latest H&M handbag, or that Urban Outfitters belt, everyone feels the need to dress their very best. Once school starts, however, the days of suntans, trips to the mall, and weekly manicures are replaced with the race to get the perfect back-to-school wardrobe.

But is it really necessary to look stunning at school?

Sure, school is a place for meeting up with friends, but it\’s also a place for learning. It\’s important to be comfortable and relaxed in your outfit.And being comfortable doesn\’t mean you can\’t be fashionable. Don\’t be afraid to wear those new Addidas shoes, sling on that Nike backpack, and don your Puma sweater.

With styles constantly changing, it\’s hard to stay up to date with the latest trends. However, it\’s possible to stay true to yourself while keeping it current.

Volume will definitely be big as designers experiment with different prints and embroideries on lampshade skirts. Pants styles will also shift from clean-cut to a more baggy and natural look.

Bold geometric prints will replace accustomed shades of color, and urban and natural shades will be blended for a more subtle, yet powerful look. WAS ME While the eighties will still play a part in this fall\’s fashion, expect to find clothing inspired by the forties and fifties.

Make your decision, travel in style, but most importantly, be comfortable with who you are and with what you\’re wearing.
