The first crisp breeze of fall sweeps across Bloomsburg University’s campus, rustling the golden and crimson leaves that blanket the sidewalks. Students shuffle between dorms and lecture halls, clutching warm coffee cups, their breath visible in the chilly morning air. Oversized sweaters drape over wide-leg sweatpants, flannel shirts peek out from under puffer jackets, and UGG boots pad softly across the brick paths. Big glasses glint in the muted sunlight, headbands hold back tousled hair, and Bloomsburg merch adds pops of school spirit amid a sea of black, brown, dark blue, and deep red. Here, fall fashion isn’t about making a statement; it’s about warmth, comfort, and navigating campus in style without sacrificing an ounce of practicality.
UGGs and Wide-Leg Sweatpants: UGGs are everywhere this fall, from classic chestnut to sleek black and chunky platform styles, always paired with cozy socks. When paired with sweatpants and a hoodie, it is the ultimate fall combination. Wide-leg sweatpants have officially won over ankle-cinched joggers, giving maximum comfort and a laid-back vibe that pairs perfectly with oversized sweaters and hoodies. Cozy, effortless, and totally campus-approved.
Oversized Sweaters and Baggy Jeans: Oversized sweaters and baggy jeans are officially back, and Bloomsburg students are making the look effortlessly chic. The roomy silhouette strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style, pairing seamlessly with sneakers or cozy UGGs. Could this be a return of the ’90s baggy aesthetic, reimagined for modern campus life? Whatever the inspiration, it proves that relaxed, oversized pieces can make just as strong a statement as anything on the runway.
Layering & Long Skirts: Long skirts remain a campus staple, but this fall, students are elevating them with cozy layers for a distinctly witchy vibe. Oversized sweaters, hoodies, and chunky boots create a moody, autumnal look that’s both comfortable and effortlessly stylish. Dark tones and statement accessories add drama to the everyday, making walks across campus feel like a seasonal fashion moment.
Accessories that Pop: Big glasses, headbands, and statement Bloom merch are the finishing touches that show personality without sacrificing comfort. A well-placed headband or oversized hoodie logo can make even the sleepiest morning outfit feel intentional.
Colors That Set the Mood: Black, brown, dark blue, and rich red dominate sweaters, hoodies, and baggy jeans, creating a cozy, effortlessly chic vibe. These colors pair perfectly with oversized silhouettes and layered outfits, grounding the relaxed style in classic autumnal aesthetics. Pops of red or brown add warmth to the neutral-heavy mix, while dark tones lend a subtle nod to the witchy, 90s-inspired aesthetic, making its quiet return across campus. The result is a color story that feels both practical and perfectly in tune with fall’s moody charm.
Even as trends swirl in cities and on social media, Bloomsburg’s campus marches to its own rhythm. Students embrace the East Coast girl aesthetic in their own way with long black jackets shielding them from the wind and iced Dunkin’ coffees clutched in their hands no matter how cold it gets. In Bloomsburg, fall fashion is about showing up, staying warm, and looking effortlessly put-together while doing it.
