It takes a true fashion icon to be able to seamlessly switch between trends and aesthetics without hesitation. Take Camila Cabello, for example. In recent months, the “Havana” singer has gone from coquette cottagcore to beachy casual, from futuristic fembot to gothic bride, and from preppy chic to sultry seductress, to name a few. Now, she’s adding sassy schoolgirl to her impressive list of fashion identities.

Camila’s Spicy Schoolgirls ‘Fit

With a chill in the air, it’s hard not to succumb to traditional fall styling. One of the most tried-and-true fall aesthetics is schoolgirl chic, as it’s perfectly suited to the back-to-school season. Academic wear has such strong fall associations that even Camila Cabello can’t resist getting in on the annual trend.

On September 16, Cabello showed off her take on the schoolgirl aesthetic via Instagram. In the photo, the pop star wears a gray cardigan with a green and purple argyle pattern — a fall fashion classic. Underneath, she wears a white long-sleeved top to stay warm in the crisp autumn breeze.

Sweaters don’t automatically signal the return of fall, as their versatility makes them so adaptable that they can be worn in almost any season. But when paired with a black pleated mini skirt, like Cabello styled hers, the piece instantly transforms from everyday staple to first-day-of-school must-have.

As for accessories, the former Fifth Harmony member wore a black belt over her cheeky bottoms to complete the look. Even her signature fringe gave off some serious schoolgirl energy. That’s where Cabello’s dedication to the academic aesthetic ends, however, as the “I Luv It” singer opted for a practical pair of black sneakers instead of a trendy pair of loafers.
