As winter approaches, boots, sweaters, and rain jackets are being dug out of closets. 

Many can agree winter trends are an all-time favorite. The rainy seasons gives girls and guys excuses to dress fancy, yet casual. 

For girls, many old trends are coming back into style. Jean jackets with combat boots have been very popular and are seen all around campus. Knit socks are being seen more as the weather continues to drop. 

Many girls have been starting to wear booties more as well. Pairing them with rolled-up skinny jeans and a knit sweater is in style. 

There are definitely days where leggings and big sweatshirts are the most appealing outfit choice, especially on a cold winter morning. Every high school student, regardless of sex, wakes up, sees the weather, and instantly grabs a sweatshirt. 

Another trend that has come back into style is flannels, which  are not just for girls but guys, too. Guys can pair flannels with jeans or other pants. For many guys at Cal, a comfy pair of gray sweats is the next best option. 

Walking around Cal I have noticed girls have become more dramatic with their makeup looks. Eyeliner and eyeshadows are more holiday themed. The eyeshadow colors vary from metallics to warm tones. 

Recently, girls have started a new trend of wearing tight dresses with tall boots and winter jackets over the dress. This look is so cute and can work on any day. Even though it will start to become extremely cold, most girls that wear this outfit spend most of their time indoors for class. 

Turtlenecks re also starting to become popular for the winter season. Not only are they chic, but they are cozy and warm. These type of sweaters can also be paired with boots and jeans or leggings. 

Another trend that has become very stylish is lace up suede boots with a heel. Walking around campus you notice girls starting to dress more mature and classy. 

The most trendy looks for guys are jeans, sweatshirts, and Vans or Converse. But some dress in flannels with light wash jeans and high top Converse. Men’s style can vary, but for the most part they stick to the basics. Not many boys at Cal wear fancy outfits the girls try and put together. 

Sweaters, sweaters, sweaters. The upcoming season has both guys and girls excited to bring out their oversized comfy sweaters. On any day, a nice soft sweater with leggings and boots is a go-to look for many girls.

With the super girly look also comes the more sporty and edgy look, too. North Face, Patagonia, Columbia are all coming out for the winter months. These jackets are always a nice go to when you still want to look cute and stylish but stay comfortable at the same time.

There are a variety of new winter trends and styles that are cute, cheap, and perfect for any day wear.
