Fall 2009 Fashion Trends for College Students
Skinny Jeans, Bob Cuts, and Other Hot Looks for Campus Girls
Aug 18, 2009
What are girls wearing on college campuses in the fall 2009 semester? Here's a run-down on some of the hottest looks.
The Reverse Layered Short Bob Haircut
This versatile bob cut has is everywhere on college campuses. It's a traditional short bob cut that transitions into longer layers on the side. For a dramatic look, sides are left significantly loner than the back; for a more subdued look, the transition is gradual.
This bob cut craze has caught on in part because the look works for just about any hair type. Girls with straight hair get some nice bounce, while curly haired curls can show off their curls in the back of the bob.
Skinny Jeans
When it comes to denim, this year's hottest look is the skinny jean. This pencil thin, stretchy pants are popular in traditional denim colors, black, and vibrant colors like pink and aqua. The look is versatile; they can be dressed up for weekend wear or dressed down with a big baggy sweatshirt for class.
Not comfortable in skin tight jeans? Bootcut and boyfriend cut jeans are still trendy as well.
One-Shoulder Asymmetric Tops
This sexy look is great ro dressing up a pair of jeans or weekend parties. For a classic look, try a sheer black fabric. For something more eye-catching, metallic colors are in style, as are animal prints. One-shoulder asymmetrical dresses also are a hit. Flowing tops with sexy arms cutouts are a similar trend.
