Winter fashion offers endless options for consumers

This winter season, fashion is truly phenomenal as it makes its way from the runways into local boutiques. From the vintage store, Polly Esther’s Closet, to the fashion-forward boutique, Irie, the looks styled in The Student Printz’s Fall Fashion section show all the hottest trends this season.

Hattiesburg’s boutiques have chic winter looks to fit everyone’s personal style. Polly Esther’s Closet and Mostly Macie’s have unique pieces such as vintage Cole Haan oxfords or a designer sequin dress by Rebecca Taylor. Specialty boutiques like Irie, McB’s and Miss Behavin’ have all the latest trends: silky chiffon blouses, chic taupe laced-up booties and mod brightly-colored jewelry.

    The five spreads chosen for the fashion edition represent what winter fashion is all about: comfy, chic, effortless pieces with an edge. These looks include staples such as everyday casual wear and cocktail attire for holiday parties and New Year’s Eve celebrations. The fascinating aspect of this season is the ability to mix and match patterns, colors and accessories to create new countless everyday looks.

The style this winter is all about confidence and learning your own individual style. Style focuses on innovation and experimenting with a combination of trendy and classic pieces. However, it’s not always easy to wear new, daring pieces. The bottom line is that style becomes whatever you make of it. Wearing a statement piece with confidence makes you the innovator, eager to try new styles every day. Fashion this winter will make you anxious to go shop, make you smile and instantly gives you the killer confidence to step out of your comfort zone and truly shine.
