Now that the leaves are changing color and a breeze is in the air, Manhattan University students are refreshing their wardrobes with cozy fall fashion styles. As autumn begins, Jaspers have transitioned into wearing clothing better suited for the cold weather while also maintaining a chic look. 

Brianna Molina, Richard Bagayoko, Nathaly Ruiz and Sadie Fox share their thoughts on fall fashion and give input on how they plan to dress for the new season.  

Brianna Molina ‘26, business administration major 

The Quadrangle: What are you wearing at the moment?

Brianna Molina: I have Tasmans on, green cargos and a little beige puffer.

TQ: What fashion trends are you most excited to see this fall?

BM: I’m excited to see matching sets. Also, bring the puffers out!

TQ: Where is the best place to shop for fall clothes?

BM: I like H&M, Zara and anything related to that realm. I love basic and girly fashion. 

TQ: Where do you get inspiration for your style? 

BM: I would say social media. Whatever I see on social media that I like, I go with. 

Richard Bagayoko ‘27, political science major 

The Quadrangle: What are you wearing at the moment? 

Richard Bagayoko: I’m wearing a Nike Tech with white Air Forces and a black puffer jacket. I have a silver chain on as well. 

TQ: What fashion trends are you most excited to see this fall? 

RB: I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more puffer vests and jackets and less flannels. I dislike flannels. I want to see more bomber jackets, jeans and lots of creativity. I don’t like summer because of how limited you are regarding what you can wear. 

TQ: If you could choose one favorite fall accessory, what would it be?

RB: I like wearing scarves. I don’t have many, but I like to style them. I have a brown scarf that I like a lot. I also love gloves. They make me feel like a superhero. 

TQ: Where is the best place to shop for fall clothes?

RB: I’m going to have to say Marshalls. They are an old gem. I also like H&M and Zara because I always get a bang for my buck. 

TQ: Where do you get inspiration for your style? 

RB: I get my style inspiration from my dad and my neighborhood. 

Nathaly Ruiz ‘26, sociology major 

The Quadrangle: What are you wearing at the moment? 

Nathaly Ruiz: I am currently wearing a sage scarf. It is a distressed scarf that I got from the city. I also have this sweater I borrowed from my brother’s closet, some cargo pants and New Balances. 

TQ: What fashion trends are you most excited to see this fall? 

NR: I love scarves over the head. Honestly, I like anything that flows with my style. 

TQ: If you could choose one favorite fall accessory, what would it be?

NR: Scarves and vests. I like wearing vests over myself. 

TQ: Where is the best place to shop for fall clothes?

NR: On East 236 Street, there is a place called Le Point Value. It is basically a thrift store, and I get all my items from there. 

TQ: Where do you get inspiration for your style? 

NR: I get my style inspiration from my older brother. He is 30 now, but I take inspiration from his high school days by looking back at his photos. I am carrying around his bag right now. It says “New York University” on it. 

Sadie Fox ‘27, communication and English major 

The Quadrangle: What are you wearing at the moment? 

Sadie Fox: I’m wearing Target jeans, my Charlie XCX brat shirt, and a green long-sleeved shirt underneath. 

TQ: What fashion trends are you most excited to see this fall? 

SF: I have been really into low-waisted pants lately. I also like oversized sweaters. I’m really into the oversized look right now. Also, fun pants! I’ve been trying to find more fun pants. I love designs, not just normal jeans. 

TQ: If you could choose one favorite fall accessory, what would it be? 

SF: Probably flannels. Or some boots. 

TQ: Where is the best place to shop for fall clothes?

SF: I am a big fan of Urban Outfitters. My roommates and I like to go to unique stores down the street for cheaper options. It’s kind of like a fun thrifting moment. 

TQ: Where do you get inspiration for your style?

SF: If I am being honest, I get my style inspiration from Billie Eilish. I also get my style inspiration from Pinterest and other people I see around campus.
