For most of us, summer is coming to an end and the fall season has arrived. Although the calendar marks the official start of fall next month, if you're heading back to school, you have fall-en into fall mode already. Fall and holiday decor have also hit major retailers as well and it's beginning to look a lot like, fall...minus the hot AF weather.

We adore the fall season for so many reasons - cooler weather, a fresh new start and a cozy new wardrobe. For those of you who are heading back to school, we've put together some of our fav stylish wardrobe essentials to get you through the dreaded start of the fall semester season - since you might not be as ecstatic as you once were to return BTS.

THE ESSENTIAL HOODIE:

Zaful / Zaful / Zaful

The top college pick has to be a hoodie - for both guys and gals alike. Why? It's comfy, cozy, so easy to pullover in the early am after you've hit the 'snooze' button about 5 extra times (then you should've) and well it feels as though you're still wrapped in your warm AF blanket ('kay maybe that's just us). 

Hoodies now come in so many chic styles, cuts and shapes so there's something to suit every style. The cropped hoodie is perfect for the fall weather when it starts to get a bit chilly outside.

Graphic sweaters and tees are are very popular at the moment and are perfect for the casual chic style of a student.

WILDCARD - GOTTA HAVE GINGHAM:

Zaful / Zaful / Zaful

Gingham was huge this spring and summer season and it was so popular that it even overtook the stripes trend. From classic black and white to pretty pastels, there's so many ways to wear this chic print. The modern take on this retro print incorporates contemporary cuts and silhouettes including ruffles and cropped hems. This preppy style can easily be dressed up or down and it's definitely a statement piece to add to your wardrobe this back to school season. Gingham is perfect for the days you want to get out of those bulky hoodies for a movie or date night out and feel a bit "fancy."

Last but not least is the oh-so essential denim. A good ol' pair of denim can last you years to come so make sure to invest in a piece that's comfortable and fits right. The right style can accentuate your figure and make you look good in all the right places and who doesn't want that?

Distressed denim has a raw, unfinished element that's perfect for school days and they're so stylish and comfy at the same time! Pair 'em with classic sneakers in the daytime and throw on a pair of sexy stilettos at night for date night. So many ways to style the good ol' American look and you can never own too many pairs of jeans.
