As the air becomes colder, new trends start to arise. Fashion, fall drinks, and festivals replace the beach on a summer day with autumn. Starbucks and Dunkin released their fall drinks, sparking excitement in many communities.
Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte are all fall drinks for this season. October, November, and December are some of the busiest months of the year for Starbucks. “83.2% of teens drink caffeinated beverages regularly” according to blog.gitnux.com.
A barista at Starbucks states, “My favorite time of the year is fall and with all of the new drinks that come with the season, my favorite drink would have to be the Pumpkin Spice Latte.”
New fashion trends are approaching to be suitable with the chilly weather. Layered and baggy clothing is very popular in fall 2023.
Another popular teenage fashion trend this year is layering. To make one-of-a-kind and intriguing clothes, many experiment with various textures and fabrics including denim, knitwear, and leather. Additionally, layering promotes adaptability because different clothing can be worn for various events and weather. Along with baggy and layering comes athleisure evolution which has taken over because it is all about looking cool while staying comfortable.
Junior Hailey Cahill explains “Baggy clothing is the best because it allows for you to be comfy and warm during the colder seasons.”
With fall also comes pumpkin festival season. The Great Pumpkin Festival in Stratford will be on October 15. This will be a fun event to go with friends and family.
Fall brings new activities for all people to do. TV shows and movies start to become popular again. Family favorites like Hocus Pocus and Gilmore Girls are categorized with fall. Which both movies happen to be very close to Connecticut or in Connecticut. Gilmore Girls is supposed to be in Star Hollows, CT. Then Hocus Pocus is in Salem, Massachusetts.
Little things like TV shows, movies, fall drinks, festivals and fashion are what makes people excited for the new season.
