As the vibrant summer fades in Los Angeles, a new season of style is upon us. For LACES students, transitioning your wardrobe from sunny days to their colder cooler counterparts doesn’t mean sacrificing. This autumn and winter, fashion is all about strategic layering, playing with rich textures, and investing in versatile pieces that are both functional and fashionable.
The power of layering goes beyond a practical necessity, serving as the foundation for a dynamic cold-weather wardrobe. The LACES schedule, with its longer periods three times a week, means spending more time in each classroom, where temperatures can fluctuate. This makes strategic layering essential. Forget bulky coats and think strategically: start with a base layer of your favorite t-shirt or long-sleeve tee. Add a flannel shirt, a lightweight hoodie, or a wool sweater for an extra dose of warmth that can be easily shed as the day warms up. Top it off with a classic denim jacket or a stylish fleece-lined vest for extra insulation.
Why wait for a dedicated “LACES Pride Day” to show your Unicorn spirit? Fall and winter off er the perfect palette to weave your school’s colors of blue and gold into your everyday outfits. A gold beanie or a blue-and-gold scarf is a simple way to add school spirit. Look for a navy blue hoodie with a subtle LACES logo or a cozy gold sweater to wear on campus. Even Randy the Unicorn is always bundled up.
Even in Los Angeles, you can embrace fall and winter fabrics without overheating, as the goal is comfort and style. Swap out your shorts for corduroy pants or dark-wash jeans; they’re durable and can be dressed up or down. For cooler mornings and evenings, a fl eece zip-up is a LACES campus essential for a casual, comfortable look. A wool or cashmere-blend sweater provides warmth without being too heavy for the Los Angeles climate.
This season, broader fashion trends can be adapted to your specific student life. Channel our schools education first environment with some collared sweaters or lightweight denim and sporty bomber jackets for a put-together academic look. A colorful scarf or a stylish hat can instantly elevate any outfit, whether you’re heading to a night game or a club meeting. For footwear, look for stylish yet practical options, like ever popular Ugg boots and slides.
So, as the weather cools, don’t pack away your fashion-forward mindset. With the right layers and textures, you can stay warm while looking your absolute best this fall and winter, all with a touch of that unique Unicorn pride.
