Top 5 Fashion Staples That You Should Have

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at App State chapter.

As winter approaches in Boone, it’s time to stock up on the latest (and warmest) trends of the season. But when your style preferences cost a pretty penny, how do you know when you should splurge and when you should walk away? Her Campus is here to help! Here are a few items you should be considering this season:
 
1.  Hunter Boots
These boots are perfect for the winter weather that Boone experiences each year. They are water-tight, have a traction-gripping sole, and are available with fleece lining! These are quality boots that will be able to handle the snow and ice for multiple seasons.

2. Comfy Pull Over Sweaters
Sweaters like these are perfect for the girl who wants to look casual and cute for the day ahead of her. Paired with classic riding boots and a warm scarf, you’re guaranteed to look effortlessly fashionable!

3.  Matching Gloves and Scarf
Sure, it may seem a little reminiscent of your mom dressing you when you were a kid, but I would definitely recommend a matching set to get you through the fall and winter seasons. Places in and around Boone such as Old Navy, J Crew, and The Loft have plenty of stylish choices to add to your wardrobe.

4. Classic Watch
Forget about looking at your phone or glancing at the clock on the wall during class; watches are all the rage this season! They give your look a sense of maturity, elegance, and class that is sure to make you look more professional to all those around you. Don’t be afraid to splurge this season on a tortoise shell watch (I know I will!)

5. Chunky Necklaces
This is a fashion staple that any collegiette should invest in. Pairing a funky necklace with a simple sweater or t shirt is bound to spice up your look. Want to make one yourself?

With these styles in your closet, you’re guaranteed to look fabulous every day this season! Go invest in your look, readers!
