For the fall of 2009, some trends have become outdated, but many new trends have come about to take their places and refresh the face of the world of fashion.

All over campus, one can identify the most common trends.

Apparel with fur, colorful garments, unique heels, shoulder pads and numerous other flamboyant objects are the latest trends in Europe and the fashion capitals of the United States.

“For this fall, it is going back to the 80’s,” said Laura Guderian, a freshman majoring in fashion and textile management.

Guderian said the preppy look is starting to fade away and objects such as strappy sandals and over-the-knee boots are coming into play.

Cardigans as well as bubble and baby doll dresses are some of the trends that will remain stylish for the year, while midriff clothing is going out of style.

“Clothing with neon colors, shoulder pads, furs, high waist or any article of clothing with a sophisticated look is definitely what’s ‘in’ this fall,” said Guderian.

Some popular hair styles will include long straight hair with an indie hair band or any kind of braid or twist. For makeup, any kind of bright or smoky color eye shadow will complete an outfit. “It will be a brighter fall,” said Guderian.

Brandon Hunt, a junior in medical textiles, feels that polo T-shirts and shoes, cargo shorts, fitted jeans, Oakley shades, North Face jackets and book bags are some of the latest trends.

“Baggy clothes, skinny jeans and long T-shirts are done,” said Hunt.

“Rompers, half-shoulder and baggy shirts are some of the latest styles,” Summer Martin, a freshman in First Year College, said. Martin feels great clothing brands to choose from are bebe, BCBG, Ed Hardy and Coach.

Melany Bates, a freshman in First Year College, said, “Anything vintage with one’s own individual spin is stylish.” Bates said clothing will feature fewer sequins and more metals and jewels. Neon-colored jeans and leggings are also in style. Boleros, half-jackets, are not in style.

Freshman Miriam Kamya, an out-of-state student from upstate New York majoring in fashion and textile management, is encouraging people to keep it simple for all aspects of an outfit.

“Gladiator sandals, high waist baggy skirts, Coach shoes, indie head bands, wide and skinny leg jeans are some of the latest trends for this fall,” said Kamya.

The little black dress will remain fashionable along with Blackberry cellular phones. As far as men’s apparel, Kamya had several words of advice to inform guys on what is hot and what is not.

“My definition or suggestion for men as far as clothing is a fresh pair of shoes, a hot fitted and a nice pair of jeans,” said Kamya. “Some of the stylish shoes include Jordans, Prada, Gucci and Dunks – no boat shoes. Coogi, Black Label and Levi’s are some of the trendy clothing designers. Polo and Lacoste are official. No Fubu, Roca Wear, Ecko or Sean John, period.”
