Autumn a la mode
Try these sleek fall substitutes.
Boots will keep you stylish and warm.

Trends change seasonally, and the time has come to put away summer clothing. In just a month, warm weather will be nonexistent, so to dress appropriately, here are stylish substitutes.
An excellent component to keep the feet warm, boots are popular for fall weather. Whether combat or Uggs, boots come in all sorts of colors and sleek styles to help eliminate freezing toes.
Boots that won’t break the bank seem hard to find, but they are out there. Shops like Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, and Ross have reasonable prices that pave the way to buying more outfits.
Not only do boots help fend off harsh winds but socks do as well. Fuzzy socks are the way to go for any event, especially when it is time to relax. Different colors and patterns make it difficult to choose just one pair. Pink socks with blue smiley faces and black socks with white cats can be found at any store like Target and Old Navy.
It’s safe to say that sweaters are the most comfortable tops to wear as fall approaches. Long sleeved, short sleeved, oversized, or form fitting, fuzzy sweaters are appropriate indoors and out. Thrift shops like Community Aide carry sweaters that vary from five to ten dollars. With color coordinated racks and endless amount of clothes, the thrift shop is a distinguished place to find what is needed.
If it is still hard to commit to the new season, smock dresses will become anyone’s best friend. The fun, draping dress makes it easy to wear with jackets, boots, or sweaters.
Don’t worry guys, there are substitutes for you, too. Long sleeved shirts with vests are what any boy needs to keep those arms from becoming numb. Much like girls, shorts will need to be retired. Try jeans, khakis, or sweatpants to protect the legs.
One soft and necessary accessory that is beloved by guys and girls alike is a scarf. Not only are scarves used to keep the neck from catching frost, but it ties together any outfit, taking it from ordinary to fancy with one simple wrap.
As everyone gets ready for fall, just remember it is not as bad as it seems. The new season trends will easily become favored for both gender and age groups. Fall is a chilly time, but do not let it wreck the new chic look.

I think that fall is a much loved season by many around the world. However, some girls do not know where to find cheap fall clothes. It is not needed to spend $50 dollars on sweaters. Stores like Forever 21 and even thrift stores such as Community Aid have sweaters ranging from $2-$20. Forever 21 is one of my favorite stores and you can get scarves, jackets, jeans, hats, boots and any other fall necessities for a limited price. After all, we are in high school and can’t afford to spend thousands of dollars on high end designer clothing.
