Days are getting shorter, leaves are falling and campus is abuzz with all things fall. Manhattan University students are taking note and changing up their wardrobes for the season. Some may like to embrace a cozy, fall look, while others tend to stand out and try new styles for the season. While personal style differs between students, everyone can agree on one thing: fall cannot come soon enough. Agne Adomauskaite, Szam Sy, Abby Booth and Melissa Moura showed off their fall outfits, while speaking to The Quadrangle about their fashion choices. 

Agne Adomauskaite ‘26, public health and business double major

The Quadrangle: What are you currently wearing?

Agne Adomauskaite: My pants are ASOS, my shoes are black Sambas and my sweater is my best friend’s. Half of my wardrobe is hers.

TQ: What made you choose your outfit today?

AA: Today I woke up feeling like wearing all black. Today’s the first cold day of the fall season, so I was not feeling color.

TQ: Where do you shop for your clothes?

AA: If I’m shopping online, always ASOS because I’m tall, so [ASOS] has long pants that actually fit, or at MyUnique on 234th street.

TQ: Where do you get your style inspiration?

AA: I have eastern European roots, and a lot of my family lives in Lithuania, so I would say from there. Always classic and timeless. I hate micro-trends and fast fashion, it all ends up in the thrift after a couple of months anyway. So I wear things that I could have worn two years ago, and that I can also wear two years from now.

TQ: Describe your fall style in two words.

AA: Cozy and Chic.

Szam Sy ‘28, mechanical engineering major

The Quadrangle: What are you currently wearing?

Szam Sy: I’m wearing a Dolce and Gabbana jacket, my necklace is Hysteric Glamour, the jeans are wax denim from a brand called Serenede and the shoes are Alexander McQueen.

TQ: What made you choose your outfit today?

SS: Honestly, It was just a little chilly outside and I wanted to wear a comfortable jacket. I like the material of the jacket and I always rock skinny jeans.

TQ: Where do you like to shop for your clothes?

SS: Most definitely Depop. I love Depop and Grailed.

TQ: Where do you get your style inspiration?

SS: I don’t really have any inspiration, I just see what I like. I like to experiment, and I know what I like at this point.

TQ: Describe your fall style in two words.

SS: Definitely flashy, but minimal.

Abby Booth ‘28, communication major

The Quadrangle: What are you currently wearing?

Abby Booth: I’m wearing this hoodie from Free People. It’s actually a sample piece that my mom got, so I don’t know if it’s anywhere out there. My sweatpants, they’re from Urban Outfitters, and my shoes are fake knockoffs of mini Uggs.

TQ: What made you choose your outfit today?

AB: It’s chilly. I also don’t have work today, so I’m able to just relax and be comfortable.

TQ: Where do you like to shop for your clothes?

AB: I really like to shop, if I have the money, at Free People. I really like the way they recycle clothes, and they do a lot of vintage pieces, which I think are really cool. And obviously, thrift stores. I have one really close to my house, and I’m there all the time. Urban Outfitters is also a staple for me.

TQ: Where do you get your style inspiration from?

AB: I get my style inspiration from my mom. We dress very similar, and we like to shop at the same places. She’s always shown me how to be confident within your own skin, and that starts with how you dress.

TQ: Describe your fall style in two words.

AB: Comfortable and convenient. 

Melissa Moura ‘26, management major

The Quadrangle: What are you currently wearing?

Melissa Moura: Right now, I’m wearing a jacket that I got from Zara, my shirt is from H&M and my pants and shoes are from Nordstrom. And then I also have a Longchamp bag.

TQ: What made you choose your outfit today?

MM: Honestly, the weather is so crispy, so I had to wear something that says “fall.”

TQ: Where do you like to shop for your clothes?

MM: I love Zara, I love Nordstrom because I can find everything and Bloomingdales. If you go, they always have something cute, like hands down the best place ever.

TQ: Where do you get your style inspiration from?

MM: Pinterest, and I have to give a shout out to my mom. I love what she wears, and I just aspire to be her.

TQ: Describe your fall style in two words.

MM: Comfy and chic.
