‘07 Fall fashion arrives WINNING BRITTANNY ARGYRIOU

ramatic eye shadows, dulled colors, simple shirts and dresses. These are a few of the fall fashion trends. Simple colors like dark browns, oranges, reds, royal purples, and black, are very common colors of fall trends. Wearing a simple v-neck shirt with a pair of dark jeans and a dramatic large belt is the simplest outfit to wear this fall. Long earrings with dull colors can dress up a shirt. Wearing multiple necklaces can show of the personality of the wearer. Along with v-neck and dress shirts, sweaters and turtle necks have become the most popular thing to wear. Wearing jackets over turtle necks or a v-neck shirt gives off that sophisticated classy look that some people strive for. Other accessories such as knitted hats, leggings, or high socks have become trendy to wear with dresses, shorts, and skirts.
Not only are they fashionable, they are also comfortable. Do not over-do the accessories; sometimes it might just be too much to wear. Scarves have become well known for being versatile. They can go from an evening look to becoming an everyday look for outfits. Just like clothing, shoes change with the seasons. High heels have become a popular trend to wear with sweater dresses or a simple shirt and jeans. Ballerina slippers are a simple solution as fashionable shoes to wear with jeans skirts, dresses, or every day outfits. “I think high heels will never go out of style, and I think ballet flats are awesome, cute, and casual but can still work for a formal casual look,” said Tamar Wiener, 11. The continuous pattern used this fall is plaid. Plaid can be found on scarves, dresses, skirts, and headbands in several combinations of colors. Animal prints like zebra and cheetah have also become popular.
With all of these fashionable looks comes another important detail: make-up. This season’s trend is proving to consist of simple colors such as pale pinks, deep reds, chocolate browns, tans, and gray. Lately, showcasing the eyes has become an important part of the daily routine. Starting with deep colors and evening them out with lighter shades highlight depth of the eyes and makes them more dramatic. The popular colors for lipstick and lip glosses are deep reds and pinks. This has become the “simple beauty” look. If the dramatic Marilynn Monroe look is not desirable, light pinks and pastels are another option. All these trends are showing up at wellknown stores such as Hollister, Abercrombie, and American Eagle. It will be interesting to see these fashions show up around school this fall.
