Flash FASHION UPDATE
School style

 
Students are getting back into the swing of things as school has officially begun for most colleges and universities. As the load from textbooks and other necessities deflates students' wallets, shopping for clothing and accessories is on hiatus for most, at least for a little while. Back-to-school has become its own season in the fashion world for young students at local retail chain stores. However, students in college seem to look more closely at the trends. A belted waist for coats and jackets look is definitely in. However, the slim fit of pants has been eclipsed by the wide-leg trousers in prints such as tweed. The '80s are making a comeback with zippers on jackets and shirts. New designers are now dissolving all matching conventions with blue-on-black themes, and some playful additions to garments are sequins and feathers. Animal print purses are in full swing this fall. The zebra print is perfect for a laptop or back-to-school bag. And finally, chains are big everywhere, either as adornments to handbags or the actual handles on a purse. Check Mantra, Labels, CrossRoads as some options to choose from. Go and gear up for school completely in sync with trends!
