COKO SHAN ELLE
Special to The Lampoon
The temperature is dropping and so are our mouths over Fred Onia’s new fall collection. This line is gonna be hot, hot, hot — even though it will be rainy and cold outside.
I asked the designer himself at the preview show what we should expect to be the most popular look and he said, “It’s all about the jean jacket, baby.”
The jean jacket is coming back in a big way, but not how you would expect. The latest trend is wearing jean jackets as skirts. The buttons go on the front and the arms of the jacket tie in the back creating an easy on-the-run-to-Tim-Hortons look. So what if your entire butt is exposed? It’s easy, breezy.
Other fashion-forward looks to check out are the gladiator sandals that go all the way to the knees and cargo shorts with double (sometimes triple) the pockets! The strappy tall sandals really highlight the knee and make it almost impossible to move. You won’t have to walk up the stairs when you look that fabulous! And don’t even think about leaving for class 10 minutes early because you’re gonna spend at least 20 minutes putting them on in the morning.
Try pairing the jean jacket skirt with the strappy knee sandals to create the best look this fall.
For the boys, Fred Onia created a special cargo short with even more pocket space. Now you never have to carry a backpack again. Just keep all of your books, notebooks, calculators, phones, wallets, pets, TVs, lamps and whatever else you need to get you through the day in these convenient pockets! Not only are these shorts absolutely essential for every college student, but they are made out of the finest wool-cotton blend to keep you warm on those breezy afternoons.
All of these items and others will be available to order online or at the bookstore starting Monday, Oct. 5. Ask the cashier at the front desk to point out the section in the back of the store near all of the baby clothes. These items will be flying off the shelves, so get yours as soon as possible!
