When I was a pre-teen I read Seventeen Magazine faithfully. I clearly remember one September issue that featured a new trend based on the collegiate look; I instantly fell in love in with the tweeds, plaids, and cordurouy gracing those glossy pages. Ever since then that style with it's elbow patched blazers, plaid skirts and turtlenecks has ALWAYS influenced my fall wardrobe in some way.
Tailored looks making a splash on the runways has caused the collegiate trend to resurface. Here are a few items inspired by the look.
1. Bags from Nutsa Modebadze 2. Easy Keeper Plaid Skirt 3. Chloé Cashmere and Wool Turtleneck 4. Brompton Purse 5. Forest Flower Oxfords 6. Rag & Bone Strand Jacket with Leather Elbow Patch (I so want this jacket) 7. Frye Harlow Oxford Pumps 8. J.Crew Merino Turtleneck Sweater
