We all know the certain fashion trends that tend to re-occur every year around fall. The oversized sweaters, the UGGs, leg warmers, beanies and much more. These pieces are sometimes considered overdone, but there’s no denying it has become a seasonal tradition. The older Tumblr fall aesthetic paired with a pumpkin-spiced latte, mainly worn by millennials isn’t likely to go away anytime soon.

As far as the younger generations go, no matter how hot the weather is in Florida, oversized sweaters, hoodies and pants have had a grip on fashion even becoming everyday attire for a good amount of people during summer. It’s safe to assume that this trend is going to continue with enthusiasm into fall.

The ‘Lagenlook’ which is a European-originated style of layering jackets upon jackets and wearing multiple sweaters over each other is slowly becoming more and more popular recently, particularly through social media. It’s to be expected to blossom into one of the more popular fall trends in 2022 with this excessive layering now becoming socially acceptable, especially with the incoming cooler weather around America.

The messy look of off-the-shoulder, excessively ripped shirts, as well as purposefully non-matching styles and colors, have become a well-liked style too. Many describe it as an ‘effortlessly chic’ and several people enjoy that off-duty model look that we’ve seen on celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Kendell Jenner. This style will no doubt be seen more frequently this fall season given it’s insanely easy to put together an outfit inspired by this style.

This fall, I definitely will be participating in the oversized sweaters trend, maybe basic but I’m choosing comfort over fashion this year. I’ll be using the slightly cooler Florida weather to my advantage, being able to wear clothes that would be comparable to a sauna suit during the summer.
