Fall is in full swing in Ann Arbor, so it’s the perfect time to check out this season’s fashion trends. Below, take a look at a list of the hottest styles I’ve spotted around Michigan’s campus this fall! 

Any and ALL Adidas Sneakers

Adidas sneakers have taken over campus this season! From Sambas, to Campus 00s, to Gazelles, these shoes are everywhere you look. With a broad range of colors and a chic, timeless design, these shoes are the perfect addition to any fall outfit. 

Neutrals

Layering and classic staples are commanding the runways right now, and neutral tones are more popular than ever. I’ve noticed neutral colors dominate fashion around campus, as they’re versatile, effortlessly stylish, and pair well with anything. Neutrals are an essential addition to any fall wardrobe!

Layerable Cardigans

This season’s layering trend includes cute, lightweight cardigans that are popping up everywhere. These simple, yet stylish, pieces add a level of sophistication to any outfit and are incredibly easy to style!

Baggy LOW-RISE Jeans

The 2000s are making a comeback, and low-rise jeans are totally in style again. This fall, high-rise styles have taken the backseat, as everyone is gravitating towards baggy, low-rise denim. With a variety of washes and colors available, low-rise jeans are the perfect pants to dress up or down, perhaps with Adidas sneakers or fall boots. 

Zig Zag Headbands 

Speaking of the 2000s, zig zag headbands are making a major return in fashion! I’m absolutely obsessed with this accessory as they add such a playful, unique touch to any outfit. 

To the Studs

Lately, studded details have been popping up everywhere – on jeans and shoes, purses and tops. The addition of subtle studs or pearls to these pieces instantly elevates any look, giving it a chic and mature flair. 

Tote bags

Backpacks seem to be less common around campus right now, as more students are opting for tote bags as their everyday go-to bag. With popular styles from Longchamp, L.L.Bean, and Goyard leading the way, these totes are a cuter step-up from your average backpack. 

PRINTS: LEOPARD and Cheetah

Leopard and cheetah prints are so back! Personally, I don’t think they ever went out of style, but it seems like they’re being embraced on a larger scale again. From cheetah tops to leopard jeans to printed sneakers, this trend is everywhere, adding the perfect bold touch to your fall wardrobe.
