Most students will agree it’s safe to say that summer is long gone, and the autumn’s breeze is trickling in. Though our Florida palm trees won’t brown into an array of colors, and the breeze we do get is accompanied by 80 degree weather, students continue to think about fall fashion.

Though our cool days have been fairly scarce, sweaters and boots are already being worn. Many positive reactions towards the cozy out ts can be found amidst students.

“I really like big sweaters. They are soft and comfortable. You can put no effort in the out t, and it looks like you are trying,” junior, Olivia Bucklew said.

Dressing up in the new seasonal styles isn’t a prominent thought among everyone. To some people, fall fashion is utilized as a necessity rather than a fashion statement. “I think that I wear what I wear in the fall more for comfort than I do because it is fashionable. Like, I will wear pants instead of shorts just because it is warmer, not because it is the fashion,” sophomore, J.R. King said.

However, the influence of Florida’s weather does play a factor in how people view the new style trends. Despite some enjoying the new styles, others note the negative aspects of fall fashion or see it unnecessary.

“Everyone wears flannel. It isn’t cold enough to wear  flannel,” senior, Katrina Rosenoff said.

The idea that fall fashion is universal disregards the fact that students in hot climates are often unable to take on the trends. The temperature’s failure to remain constant affects the effort of students who normally enjoy fall fashion. Emmy Digiacomo, freshman, describes this notion as uncomfortable.

“It’s cold in the morning and gets super hot during the day. That makes me mad,” junior, Julian Cuevas said.
