Fall 2010

From , former About.com Guide

It's almost time to go back to school, which means back to school shopping! Alexandria DeVillers from Aeropostale told me her advice on what's going to be hot this fall at Aero - and how to wear it. Alexandria also gave her picks of items from Aeropostale that perfectly illustrate each trend. Here are Aeropostale's top trends for fall and back to school:

What colors are going to be big for fall for girls?

Alexandria: This fall it is all about really rich fall colors like golds, maroons, olives and navy. Grays have also been in high demand this season. The color palette is perfect to mix and match and will carry through to winter. Aero makes some great pieces in similar colors that can be worn together in different ways and will work for every day-to-day look.

What are the three biggest trends for back to school that you're seeing?

Alexandria: The first trend is chunky knits. They are perfect to snuggle up in and will keep you feeling comfortable while still looking cute all day long.  

What's another hot trend?

Alexandria: The second trend is cargo pants. They are great because they can be worn dressed down during the day with some layered tees for a sporty look or paired with an embellished tank and sweater for a feminine look to hang out with friends.

And the third trend?

Alexandria: The third trend is plaid. They are a must-have in every closet! Aero makes a whole slew of different options so you can choose your favorite. 

What sort of denim washes will be in this fall?

Alexandria: Denim is so fantastic because it goes with everything! For fall I would go with a dark wash or stonewash, but the biggest trend we are seeing this fall is the jegging. Aero's jegging looks great on everyone and goes with everything which is why it is so important to make sure you get a pair. We are also seeing a lot of destructed styles in darker rinses which are fun.

What's the coolest school bag alternative to a backpack?

Alexandria: For sure a messenger bag! The long strap can be adjusted to wear over your shoulder or across your body. Aero makes cute ones that are practical and cool looking. You also want to grab a cosmetic case or lanyard to keep all of your odds and ends in one place.
