Fall into Fall with a Brand-New Look

With all the JCPenney commercials in heavy rotation, and Good Morning America segments featuring must-haves for fall, it’s impossible not be conscious of what look you’re portraying at school. Maybe you’re rocking jeggings, or maybe you like to channel your inner Hasselhoff and show up to school looking like a d-bag. Either way, your look is all your own. Need some help refining it? Here are some looks we like…and some we don’t necessarily love.

The Lourdes Wannabe… If you like to keep up with trends and enjoy accessorizing like an overpaid New Jersey Housewife, this look may be for you. Lourdes and her Momma Madonna (maybe you’ve heard of her) recently launched a clothing line at Macy’s. If you like fingerless gloves, you’ll love this 80’s-inspired line. If you rig the high school PA system to play “Material Girl” as you saunter down the hall, it will almost be like “Glee,” except edgier. (In fashion, people say "edgy" a lot when they don’t know what else to say. We’re playing that card now.)

Dapper Dork: Nothing says back to school like plaids, glasses, brand-new sneakers, and a backpack that color coordinates with it all. While it may be slightly dorky to look like you walked out of a Kohl’s ad, there’s something very appealing about the person who has it all together. If you’re lucky, your appearance will make your teachers think you’re so smart, they’ll give you A’s without even reading the paper you’ll have to write about the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire and What Happened to Their Babies (if you’re interested, Google “Roman Exposure").

The Teenage Exposure: If you grew up this summer, and by that we mean you now have boobs, you might be tempted to show off your new assets. Just remember baby tees are so 1996, and there is such a thing as too much skin, unless of course you're a nude art model, which you're not. If you come to school looking like you just got off the set of “Clueless,” people may start giving you feather pens, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you’re a constant loser of school supplies. Just remember, you don’t want people giving you pens for the wrong reasons.

The Classicist: No one ever got made fun of for wearing a t-shirt and jeans to school. These items will always be in style. If you went on an awesome trip to NYC this summer and bought a t-shirt from a cool skater dude from Minnesota on the Brooklyn Bridge, rock this tee shirt with whatever. It’s a cool conversation piece, and you’ll be more awesome than the Clueless girl—people just talk to her because they want to borrow her feathery pens.

We know, we know…we missed a lot of different looks! What’s your favorite fall look?
