Fall Trend Report: Preppy/ Equestrian Styles


One of the major trends this fall is the preppy/ equestrian/ school girl style. Designers looked into the past and revived these classic styles. They played around with preppy blazers, riding boots, plaid prints, the newsboy hat, collegiate sweaters, classic coats, the color maroon, letterman jackets/sweaters and wool scarfs. They grabbed inspiration from Tommy Hilfiger (the king of classic, preppy styles), The Love Story, Ivy League schools (Harvard, Yale, etc.) and private school uniforms. Try this trend out for a quiet day spent studying at the library or reading your favorite book. One of the things that I love about this trend is its wear-ability. Usually, looks that are seen on the runway have to be heavily modified before the general public tries the look out. But not this look. Anyone can rock a plaid skirt or plaid pants, a classic blazer and a little bit of maroon.

Don't have the money to dish out for super expensive designer duds? Not a problem! Vera Wang's Princess Wang line for Kohl's features a whole lot of trendy plaid bottoms, blazers and drool-worthy collegiate sweaters all for under $75. Get free shipping at Kohl's on orders of $50 or more when you use code FIFTYSHIPS. Still can't afford that? Trust me, I hear you! This trend is one trend that can be found in abundance in thrift shops or on etsy. Plaid prints often run rampant at Goodwill and thrift shops often carry preppy blazers. You can also try your hand at DIY-ing this trend by creating your own letterman sweater (DIY tutorial found HERE.)

This is probably one of the trends that I am most excited for this fall. Letterman sweaters, wool shorts, plaid prints, preppy belts, and maroon here I come!
