Fashion-forward Fairfield students wearing this fall’s hottest trends pose for pictures around campus.
It is a well-known fact in the world of fashion that September is the month to reinvent your wardrobe. New York City is abuzz with the latest trends from the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and strolling around campus, it’s easy to see how the spirit of fall fashion has found its way to Fairfield.

The air is beginning to feel just chilly enough to break out the cardigans and boots. Brightly colored jeans can be spotted all over campus, and are an easy way to look put-together, even for those pesky 8 a.m classes.

Pairing sundresses with cozy, oversized sweaters and tights is also a popular trend this season, and a great way to make those breezy summer outfits work overtime in the chillier weather.

Accessories will be key this fall as well, according to Diane Holtz, the owner of the Apricot Lane boutique in Fairfield. Showing off her store’s impressive collection of scarves, shoes and sunglasses, she reports that animal prints, sparkle and texture will be essential features in accessories this fall. She suggests “infinity” scarves and suede boots, heels and moccasins to add textural interest to an outfit.

Mary Scasino, the owner of the La Moda boutique in Fairfield, agrees that texture is all-important this season.
She points out that the “mixed media” style, meaning the use of different fabrics and textures together, will be an important element in any girl’s fall wardrobe. Lace, suede, crochet, and other textured fabrics are a great way to incorporate this trend.

Scasino also stresses that fashion should not be limited to women’s style alone, and reports that trends such as colored jeans, in more muted tones, could work for guys too.

Fortunately, guys and girls alike will never have a problem being fashion-forward in Fairfield.

Both Apricot Lane and La Moda offer student discounts for full-priced items, and they’re not alone. Loft, Banana Republic, and Cargo Bay, which are all less than a mile from campus, also offer discounts to students who show their StagCards.

With these great deals making fall fashions so easily accessible to students, it’s no surprise that Fairfield students are so well-dressed.
