Bubble braids are the hot new hairstyle. Not only is it sleek, but it's super easy to do. Bubble braids work best with long hair and do a great job at keeping one’s hair out of the face in a stylish way. All you really need is some hair elastics and you’re all set! There are several tutorials on how to pull off this hairstyle on YouTube.

Workout sets are going to be a huge trend this semester, and for a good reason: they’re an easy and quick outfit to throw on (especially if you’re running late for your 8 a.m.) Amazon sells a wide variety of them for relatively cheap. Pair it with a light jacket and you’re ready to go! If you want to spruce up your look even more, you could add a trendy baseball cap.

Regular Converse are nice and all, but who doesn’t love a little added height to their look?Platform Converse are great because they’re solid shoes (perfect for walking from class to class) and can remain pretty durable for quite a while. They also go with just about every outfit. Platform Converse can give you a totally 90s look if paired with some baggy boyfriend jeans and a bright-colored tank top.

Bodysuits are so in right now. They add a clean and put-together look to any outfit. Not only this, but they are super easy to build outfits around. Lulu’s sells some cute ones as well as Amazon. You can pair bodysuits with just about any bottom, but they look best with a pair of baggy jeans or cargo pants. Bodysuits are super convenient and versatile and can be worn for class or going out.

From chunky yellow-gold hoops to long dangly tassels, statement earrings are going to be a huge hit this semester— especially in the going-out scene (and they pair perfectly with a bubble braid!). Francesca’s sells some great styles for relatively cheap prices. If you’re going to wear some statement earrings, try your best to pair them with your hair up and out of your face (and not hide your ears!). You want to be able to showcase your fun jewelry!

Some may argue that this is a continuous trend that has not and will not go out of style, but you should still be on the lookout for those Birkenstocks and funky sock combos on the bricks! Socks and sandals are the perfect look for a Fall Semester in particular because there’s the convenience of the sandals that can be quickly slipped on while still having the comfort of some cozy socks to keep your feet warm when it starts to get chilly.
