September is finally here, and in the world of fashion, that means the most anticipated month of the year. Fall trends are in, the biggest magazine issues of the year are out for the fashion hungry to consume, Fashion’s Night Out event’s premiere across the globe, and of course, the beginning of Mercedes Benz Fashion Month in New York, London, Paris and Milan. Although here in Miami we don’t get to embrace the fall weather, we do get to embrace everything else about the fall fashions, but with our own tropical and rebellious twist.

You can find girls this season at the University wearing casual maxi skirts and tank tops with stud covered iphone cases and matching Navajo inspired metal jewelry. Taking a more classic rebellious attitude, students are also seen embracing bold black and white striped jeans with vibrant colored tops, creating a visual correlation to decades of music references and classic rock and roll, but with a  21st century twist. Not to mention another trend with a modern twist, the term “retro-branding” is appearing in more aspects other than the rebranding of the Yves Saint Laurent House. Denim is making a huge comeback, as seen in the massive collection of it on the streets these past few months in Miami, despite the high heated and humid weather. Go to your local Goodwill to find some truly retro high waisted jeans and pair them with a crop-top or light cotton jacket, and you’ll be set for any event, whether it be on or off campus.
