Style & Wardrobe

When you think of current style trends what do you think of? Baggy jeans? Animal prints? Chunky jewelry? Cropped tops? Social media such as Pinterest and Instagram have been booming with outfit inspiration and what style trends to follow. For example, layering has been really big, especially during this past fall and winter. Layering is just as it sounds, where more clothes is better. This gives you more options to play with clothes when it comes to choosing what to wear for the day, and it introduces different textures, fabrics, weights, patterns, and colors. An example of this in an outfit could be a turtleneck under a baggy sweater, black sheer tights under mini skirt, socks under white leg warmers, black boots, and this could be topped off with jewelry such as large rings and chained necklaces. Another outfit could include wearing a T-shirt, long sleeve, and heavy sweatshirt, leggings under ripped mom jeans, colored socks with doll-like shoes, and top it off with a headband in hair and cheetah print purse in hand. Other big style trends include pleated skirts, puffed sleeve jackets and tops, collared shirts, button downs underneath graphic tees, short dresses with ripped tights underneath, plaid sweaters, oversized zip ups, etc.

“I’m really into fairy core / fairy grunge right now I think it’s so cute and is a good balance between like light & dark I guess. I’m also in love with leg warmers & giant platform shoes. Oh I also really like the 70s type of hippie style. I think it’s cute and reflects my personality, my music taste, and my interest in spiritually,” said Rachel Spreeman, junior.

Hair Styles to Try

No matter the thickness, the texture, or how big your hair may be, you can always try something new with your do. Recently with the help of Tik Tok, a social media platform where you can make a variety of short-form videos, and with the help of Pinterest, they have helped to spread new hair looks and transformations to all who are interested or want something different. For example, “Skunk” hair and “Freaky Friday” hair. Skunk hair can best be explained as having/getting rich black color with thin or wide streaks of toned white hair pieces throughout, hence its name. This type of hairstyle can also be described as a two-colored hair transformation so it may not just be black and white but other color combinations as well such as the “Freaky Friday” hair look. Freaky Friday hair references the movie Freaky Friday, where actress Lindsey Lohan plays a rebellious daughter who doesn’t get along with her mother and they end up switching bodies, where each is forced to adapt to the other’s life. In the movie, Lohan has the combination of orange and white streaks in her hair. This hair look made its comeback on Tik Tok when teens started to do the Freaky Friday look and dye their hair from home and they did end up with pretty good results. Other trendy hair looks, cuts, and styles include curtain bangs, boleague, mullets, shags, wolf cut, red dyed hair, bleach blonde hair, and pixie cuts. If you need a reference photo on any of the other styles, Pinterest and the internet are one click away.
