Perhaps the most notorious of all Lexington Hot Spots in the
fall, and spring, is Keeneland. Our
local racetrack is steeped in tradition and it shows through fashion. The beauty of Keeneland is displayed through
the dress of the patrons. It is like
taking a step back in time, people still dress to impress. With the track holding racing in two
distinctly different seasons it allows for the Southern flair to reflect
through the different styles.
Downtown Lexington is alive again. Vibrant nightlife is being transcended with
new hot spots. The most recent addition
is Parley Social; a new school twist on an old school ideal. The prohibition era themed “speakeasy” echoes
the same nostalgic characteristics of Keeneland, a place classy enough to be
black tie, and comfortable enough for jeans.
With that being said the leaves aren’t the only thing changing
this Fall, fashion trends are beginning to change as well. Where the bright
pastel colors of spring were once popular people are now tending to wear a more
neutral and earth toned palette. Not only are we seeing this trend happening around
campus but in many social hot spots throughout Lexington as well.
While Keeneland is known for their sophisticated southern
charm in fashion we are beginning to see how girls and guys are modifying their
look to accommodate this cooler weather. Girls, like those in the above
picture, may be throwing their open-toed heels or sandals in for a warmer pair
of shoes, like boots or closed toed heels and layering up with a nice cardigan
sweater; whereas guys are tossing in their short sleeved polo’s for a long
sleeve button up possibly paired with a nice dress coat or sweater to stay
warm.
In bars across the downtown area, like Parlay Social, we are
seeing this fashion trend start to spread as well. Where dresses, tank tops and
shorts were once the more casual go to look of the evening, girls are starting
to pull their skinny jeans, boots, and knitted tops out, layering it with a
scarf or cardigan; while guys are also choosing to wear sweaters and warmer
long sleeved shirts with jeans or dress pants.
So regardless of where you hang out on the weekends, whether
it is downtown, around campus, or on the outskirts of Lexington at Keeneland,
take the plunge into this changing fashion trend. Embrace the Fall season while
looking your best!

This article focuses on an interesting seasonal change. I always tend to notice the transition in clothing from summer to fall more than any other season. You always see people wearing more layers to keep warm and follow the trends. Layering also helps people to really portray their own personal style. The changing of seasons is always an exciting time for fashion, because new styles come out in stores. I'm just excited to be able to wear a sweatshirt or a pair of jeans!
