One of the affordable trends you can try this fall as you head back to campus is animal prints. Animal prints are worn all year round but are typically more popular in the fall. They’re trendy, stylish, and versatile, and you can find animal prints at any store. Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe are always up to date with trends, so you can expect animal prints there. These animal prints can be shirts, pants, purses and even accessories. You can find all the latest styles in-store or online.

Another affordable trend as you head back to campus is plaid! Plaid is perfect for fall activities, from class to apple picking! The great thing about plaid is that you can style it however you want and it can be found anywhere. Whether you shop at Forever 21 or online at Boohoo , plaid is affordable and easy to find. An example of a plaid outfit that you can wear for the fall is this plaid flannel tunic from Forever 21 where you can wear leggings underneath and wear to class!

Fall is also the perfect time to wear boots, whether they’re ankle boots, knee-length, or over the knee. You’ll most likely see a ton of students wearing boots as they head back to campus; they’re comfortable and easy to throw on and take off. You can buy affordable boots through Charlotte Russe such as these thigh high boots that are only $25, Primark (if there is one in your area), Forever 21, and DSW.

During the fall, an affordable trend you’ll most likely see is camouflage. A ton of people wear camouflage clothing in the fall because it goes well with the colors and vibes. It also sets the mood for the season just perfectly. You can find this trend on sites such as Fashion Nova, Forever 21, Amiclubwear, and Asos.

For those of you who aren’t ready for boots, mules are perfect for Fall. They are a great transition piece between seasons. You can find affordable ones at Charlotte Russe, Rue 21, and Boohoo. They pair well with camouflage! These black mules from Boohoo are the perfect example, and they are $18!

Another great transition piece from summer to fall is cropped jackets. They can be cropped denim jackets, cropped sweaters, cropped cardigans, and more! This is perfect for those moderate temperatures. If you’re starting the day off hot, you can carry your cropped jacket to wear later on when the weather cools down. Another great thing about them is that they are versatile and can be worn throughout the year! You can find them on sites such as Forever 21 with this denim cropped jacket being an example, Boohoo, and Asos.

These are a few affordable trends that any student can try as they head back to campus. Give them a try and turn a few heads this fall.
