As the leaves begin to turn and the air starts to cool, KHS students face a familiar question each morning: what do you wear when it’s freezing at 8 a.m. but warm by lunch? Fall fashion at KHS isn’t just about staying warm, it’s about expressing individuality, keeping comfortable, and staying on trend through the unpredictable season.
Fashion is one of the most common forms of self-expression and a way to feel confident, making it a priority for many students to stay up-to-date with current trends. As summer fades into fall, the weather often fluctuates between chilly mornings and sunny afternoons, leaving students debating their outfit choices. Should they reach for jeans and a sweater or opt for shorts and a skirt instead?
Freshman Anica Maksimov shared her go-to look for this transitional time. “Sweaters are the definition of fall and are so comfortable in both hot and cold weather,” she said. Anica often buys her sweaters from Abercrombie or Garage, pairing them with jeans or skirts to balance warmth and style.
Freshman Kelly Kispert agreed, saying, “I like wearing sweatpants and sweaters because they keep me warm and are also stylish.”
Another freshman, Olivia Kimberlin, said her favorite outfit for the season is “a matching sweat set from Edikted.” She added that the coordinated look is both cute and practical, keeping her comfortable as temperatures drop.
Overall, comfort and confidence are top priorities for students looking to dress for the fall. Whether it’s an oversized sweater or a cozy sweat set, students are finding ways to look put-together without sacrificing warmth.
For those searching for seasonal inspiration, Vogue remains a reliable resource. The magazine features current fall fashion trends, outfit ideas, and suggestions for where to wear them, drawing heavily from New York Fashion Week. Many KHS students use outlets like Vogue and social media platforms such as TikTok and Pinterest to find looks that fit their personal style.
Of course, a great outfit doesn’t stop at clothing. Shoes, accessories, and even hairstyles play an equally important role in pulling together a cohesive look. Anica said her favorite shoes this fall are “Adidas Sambas, Adidas Campuses, and the Ugg minis.” She explained that these shoes are versatile enough to match nearly any outfit while offering comfort and warmth — especially with the Uggs’ cozy wool lining that protects against cold and rain.
In the end, staying warm is essential as temperatures drop, but for KHS students, so is showcasing personality through fashion. Fall is a season of new beginnings — especially with school starting — and students use their outfits to make a statement and share a little piece of who they are. Whether it’s through a sweater, sweat set, or the perfect pair of shoes, KHS students are proving that fall fashion is all about balance: comfort, confidence, and creativity.
