The seasons are changing… so are the trends, popular activities and your grandma’s baked goods of choice.

With October and November right around the corner, fall is approaching.

As always, fashion trends changed with the changing of the season. Along with the change in trends, the fall brings in new holidays, highly anticipated by most. All around Louisville, businesses change their scenery as well as new businesses opening up seasonally.

Moving forward, the fashion seems as if it’s moving back. Vintage style clothing is becoming more and more popular. With most people basing their closet off of what DJ Tanner would wear, things like scrunchies and “mom jeans” are selling out everywhere. The short shorts and crop tops are a thing of the past as people put away their summer wardrobe.

One big trend that is popping up in magazines and on runways is denim. It’s almost like you can’t walk past a store without it having a denim jacket in the window. Denim was wildly popular in the 70s. On top of just the idea of denim coming back, denim on denim is making its way back into the closets of many. Specifically with light denim, jean jackets with matching jeans line the streets.

Complementing the light denim and overall vintage style, red is sticking out. Red stripes, red shirts and red red bottoms are a fashion statement. Matching sets, specifically in red, fill stores all over the country. As the weather gets warmer, the popular colors get brighter. The deep burgundy and oranges that are normally the color of choice for most are a thing of the past.

Along with those deep tones comes the chilly months of October and November. These months are packed full of holidays, some more celebrated than most. Halloween and Thanksgiving are highly anticipated by many families during the seasons before. Many parents can’t wait to dress up their kids as their favorite superhero, princess or sports team of their choice. Thanksgiving also brings families together at the dinner table as the table says what they are most thankful for this year.

Halloween falls on a Tuesday this year, which might cut down on the amount of trick-or-treaters walking to houses for candy. This may disappoint the kids who planned on staying up late, but gives the parents an excuse to get their kids back into the house at an earlier time. Thanksgiving is obviously on a Thursday, followed by the stressful (and for most, expensive) Black Friday. Holiday hires team up to take on the swarm of shoppers as they start coming in to get the best deal. Many shoppers start on Thanksgiving, which may defeat the purpose of being thankful for what you have, but at least they get to shop on a full stomach.

October even holds the very controversial holiday that is Columbus Day. With political issues in the hot seat right now, this holiday was scrutinized by many, believing that Christopher Columbus should be the last person to celebrate on this day. The argument has been brought up on social media and on news sources that a lot of people seem to want to celebrate indigenous people on this day, not Columbus who did not discover America but came in and took land from these people. Veterans are also celebrated this month on November 10, Veterans Day.

As the holidays change with the seasons, the activities to do tend to change as well. One of the most popular places to go is Joe Huber’s Family Farm and Restaurant. This place is full of activities surrounding fall, one of them being their endless options of pumpkins to pick. “The leaves are pretty and all the flowers and I love the weather and scary movies and pumpkins and haunted houses,” said Amber Higdon, senior. The pumpkin patch has been open for a while now and will stay open as the month goes on. Another main attraction is their restaurant. This restaurant gives off a home-cooked feel, serving food of southern comfort.

Huber’s isn’t the only place to go this fall, though. Every year, hundreds gather for the Breast Cancer Walk in Louisville. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, a morning walk to raise awareness for breast cancer will be held on October 28. Shortly after, as the nights get even colder, lights tend to be the star of the show. In November, Louisville holds the Festival of Trees and Lights as well as the oh-so-popular Light Up Louisville.

Fall is a season full of change. As the leaves turn colors and the nights get chilly, summer is left behind.
