Of the countless fall fashion trends this year, two stand out as my favorites: 1) Classic prep (with a touch of sporty-chic) and 2) the relaxed, cool-girl aesthetic. As I’ve been saving outfit inspo on Pinterest and shopping online for these two styles, I’ve noticed that there’s something that already ties them together – film The parent trap. Meredith Blake is a classic-prep-meets-sports-chic icon, and Chessy basically invented the laid-back cool girl.
The ’90s fashion comeback has reigned supreme over the past few years, so it’s no surprise that these two cultural icons have also become the main style inspirations for many. Their styles work especially well for the fall season, given Meredith’s fun and workwear-inspired pieces and Chessy’s expert layering and oversized silhouettes. So whether you’re feeling more like a Meredith or a Chessy this fall, we’ve got you covered.
If you’re more Meredith Blake…
Meredith has two styles of humor in the film: workwear-inspired athleisure and chic athleisure. It’s also always in black, white, and/or gray, which is perfect for all the neutral-loving girls out there. Most importantly, whether she’s wearing a workout set (as in the famous camping scene), or a shift dress, she’s always impeccably dressed and put together. If you’re looking to up your style game and look super chic all the time, channeling your inner Meredith Blake is perfect for you.
If you are more of a chess player…
Chessy’s style is exactly what I’m aiming for this fall. Mixing classic silhouettes (ie straight-leg denim and big button-ups), effortless layering, and an earth-toned color palette make for an ideal base for a fall capsule wardrobe. Add some chunky knits and easy-to-wear shoes and you can make your Pinterest girl dreams come true.
