As the leaves begin to transform colors on campus, the temperature begins to quickly drop. Suddenly, it’s sweater weather! Is your closet prepared? Here are five clothing staples that you NEED in your wardrobe this fall! 

Chelsea boot dr Martens ($170)

Dr. Martens have been a closet staple of mine for years. The classic, comfortable boot matches with nearly any outfit. Dressing up or dressing down? A pair of Chelsea boots are perfect for you! The polished, black leather look adds to any outfit. Throw on a pair of neutral colored socks, cuff your favorite pair of jeans, grab your oversized flannel and rock any fall event!

We the free camden sweatshirt ($78)

As seen on Tik Tok, this viral Free People sweatshirt is going viral for all of the right reasons! Made for comfort, the Camden sweatshirt is most frequently worn with a pair of black leggings or relaxed jeans. This item may be a splurge, but it is a must have for any chilly night. The variety of colors offered by Free People are perfect for elevating your wardrobe.

American Eagle Strigid Ripped Mom Jean ($48)

Need a new pair of denim? These distressed American Eagle jeans hug your curves and make your booty look good! Offered in multiple different lengths and sizes, these pants will make any girl feel comfortable and confident. I do recommend sizing down, as the mom jean style tends to fit loose! Pair your cute jeans with an oversized sweater, Ugg boots and a messy bun to complete your casual look! 

Classic Ultra Mini Ugg ($150)

These Uggs are already on back order until November! If you can get your hands on these, act fast! Ultra Mini Uggs have been officially declared the shoe of the season. Nothing is comfier than a matching sweatsuit and a pair of Uggs! There are so many different colors to choose from, as their fall and winter line continues to expand. I promise you, these are a must-have!

OFFLINE by Aerie Real Me Xtra Flare Jumpsuit ($88)

It’s no secret that Aerie releases the most functional and comfortable clothing items for every season! For their newest collection, Aerie put a fun spin on their flare pants style. Featuring adjustable straps and a low scoop back, this flared jumpsuit is buttery soft and perfect for layering. Throw on a cropped crewneck sweatshirt, a pair of athletic sneakers and you are ready to face the cold!

Whether you’re headed to class, a study session, pumpkin patch or an Illini football game, these clothing staples will have you ready for fall and its festivities! And bonus points! These items are also predicted to be popular in the cold, winter months. These fashion must-haves will be some of your favorite staples in your winter wardrobe. Just add a few layers, winter jackets and beanies to your shopping cart, and you’re prepared for any type of weather!
