We Hit the Streets to Ask College Students About Their Style and Fashion Knowledge

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for fashion and a flair for mixing the digital world with the real one, I find American Eagle’s latest fall collection to be a perfect blend of nostalgia and contemporary style. Growing up in the 90s, I can vividly remember the thrill of sporting cargo pants and baggy jeans, much like the pieces in this collection.

During the back-to-school period, not only do you get a chance to update your wardrobe with essential items for the year ahead, but it’s also an opportunity to try out new fashion styles and patterns that are different from what you usually prefer – ranging from the skater boy look to the Y2K feminine style.

Instead of asking college and university students about their primary fashion inspirations and assessing their fashion awareness, we probed their understanding by administering quizzes on contemporary styles and encouraging them to identify their personal style principles.

Each student drew inspiration for their unique style from diverse sources such as artist A$AP Rocky, the ’70s aesthetic, and various TikTok tutorial or fashion influencers. Many agreed that the secret to creating a look lies in artfully layering and combining clothing items.

American Eagle motivates students to refresh and reinvent their back-to-school fashion for the upcoming season by introducing a fresh fall collection as part of their “Live Your Life” campaign. This initiative features inspiring talents like Coco Gauff, Trevor Lawrence, Kristine Froseth, and Nikki Rodriguez, all chosen to instill hope and unity among the younger generation.

The collection features a range of denim pieces for autumn, all centered around blue jeans as a base. These include traditional designs, as well as modern, trendy shapes inspired by the resurgence of cargo and baggy pants, which has been driven by the 90s/Y2K trend. Some highlights from the collection are High Rise Stovepipe Jeans, Barrel and Baggy Wide Leg Jeans, Lived-in Cargo Pants – all reminiscent of retro fashion. Interestingly, this style is not only a part of the current collection but also mirrors the clothing choices of today’s university students.

In American Eagle’s collection, each item is crafted for versatile pairing. This way, you can effortlessly dress up or down while showcasing your individuality. Explore the Fall Collection by American Eagle in both our physical stores and online at AE.com.
