Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Most of the time, it’s a spontaneous decision. We come across a cute pair of shoes on our favourite celebrity, and the next thing we know, we’re on the internet searching for “chunky green boots” in hopes of finding something for us. The same goes with looking for a cute statement dress that we see on a fast fashion website. We fall for its cuteness and add it to our carts instantly. After a few months, fashion bestows upon us a new list of trends that we feel the urge to buy, lest we look “not so trendy”? This Fall, don’t go all out and shop for a whole new wardrobe. Instead, look back into your closet; you have it all!
News that is great for your wallet – we’ve discovered the top trends, which are items most of us already own. Think of matching sets or saturated colours or just a plain graphic sweatshirt that are all the essentials you need for the season.
Slogans and Graphic tees
While we thought graphics and slogans are somewhat juvenile, our current motto is that no one’s too old to wear anything they like. Clothes are clothes, and the truth is, a snarky saying or an amazing illustration is an instant mood booster, and it can make other people relate to you too.
How to wear slogan and graphic t-shirts for fall 2021: Think out of the box and combine pieces that are total opposites, like a graphic t-shirt with a puffy midi-skirt that will grab everyone’s attention. A slogan sweatshirt, too, with jeans and sneakers, is an effortless look that can still make a statement.
Button-downs

Since this piece of clothing is considered the ultimate closet staple, we are sure there must be one lying in your wardrobe. It doesn’t matter if it is white, stripped, or any pastel shade, this season, it’ll come in handy for various occasions.
How to wear button-downs for fall 2021: Make it your go-to layer. Wear it instead of a jacket or sweater (celebs are wearing it with a bra-top underneath), use it as your styling foundation – under vests or even blazers.
Matching sets

Matching sets are nothing new. In fact, co-ords were one of our go-to essentials for so long, even before sweatsuits became a pandemic uniform. But, our designers are still not ready to give up on this trend yet, and we are not complaining!
How to wear matching sets for fall 2021: Add a third layer with the addition of a matching coat or accessories that’ll compliment your co-ord set. However, you need not buy anything new. Just dig into your closet, find something of the same colour (or print!), and style them together. And, you’re in for a trendy look for the season!
