The changing of the leaves officially marks the arrival of the fall season and with it comes all the latest fall styles and fashion trends, even for students on a budget.

Shopping and looking good can get very expensive, very fast. However, Bucks students are realizing massive bucks are not a prerequisite for looking great.

Business Administration major, Val Glass, 19, from Fairless Hills said, “’I’ll shop at TJ maxx, or I’ll go to the outlets I can usually find things I like that are really cheap there.”

For this fall season students should turn to online shopping as a way to save money and to stay connected with all the styles that are trending.

Stores such as H&M, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Urban Outfitters, Wet Seal, and many others, provide customers with special online deals and promotions that help save money. All while getting the same styles found in the store.

Nursing major, Sierra Thomas, 19, from Levittown says, “I do shop online quite often. I usually shop at H&M, Forever 21, and American Apparel sometimes, they almost always have great deals!”

Amazon, EBay, and 6pm.com are popular websites offering designer clothing, shoes, and accessories all at a fraction of store prices, usually with free shipping.

Saving money is important, but so is staying up on the current styles. Fall is all about accessories and comfortable clothing to accompany all the comfort foods of the season.

“For this fall Panama hats are pretty in style I guess and also t-shirt or sweater dresses and tights are pretty much always a fall trend,” Jenna Spivak, 18, Communications major from Holland said.

Trends making a return this fall are oversized sweaters, ripped baggy jeans, unisex clothing, combat boots with high socks, and hats, of course. One mustn’t forget his or her go to outfit of the season; a really quick and easy throw on is perfect for the fall season.

Erynn Pleasant, 18, Photography major from Feasterville shared her go to outfit, “My favorite go to outfit for the fall would be a big sweater that hangs off the shoulder with some leggings and my favorite boots on. And of course a cute hat to match to keep my hair from blowing everywhere from the fall wind.”

“I love leggings, boots, and a scarf. It’s a quick outfit that always looks cute, even on your lazy days,” said Jessica Fechtenburg 18, Early Education major from Levittown.

Fall is a great season, and a short one, so stock up on all the fall fashion favorites while they’re still out.
