Fall is offcially here, and there is simply no denying it. How can we know for sure? Here's how:
1. Boots begin to replace sneakers.
The trend that includes everything from Adidas sneakers to slip-ons is slowly making way for more weather-practical boots as temperatures drop and leaves falls- and soon, unfortunately, snow.
2. Pumpkin spice lattes are everywhere.
Honestly, I tend to order these mostly because they seem trendy and just the fall thing to do, rather than because I think they’re delicious. Either way, the advertisements from Starbucks and its competitors promoting the hot beverage are an obvious sign.
3. Tailgates and football games are in full swing.
In other words, sundresses, Lilly Pulitzer tumblers, and the occasional attendance to the actual sports game.
4. Leggings become a wardrobe staple.
It’s finally time for leggings to become an acceptable form of pants (well, for most people) again. Comfortable and versatile, this is one of the better signs that fall is here.
5. Halloween is weeks away.
All the brainstorming that spontaneously occurs from time to time finally comes to fruition this season. When you realize that you need to plan out at least three outfits for Halloweekend, you know it’s officially fall.
