Now that the weather has finally started to warm up, many students will cycle out their winter jackets, parkas and boots for more spring appropriate clothing. As the air warms up, students are, generally, bound to show a little more skin. The incoming warmer weather prompts many people to head to the mall, department stores, secondhand clothing stores and wherever else they go for their shopping needs. When buying new clothing, there are definitely some things to consider.
High waisted denim shorts, Birkenstocks, crop tops and Sperrys are some of the popular choices on campus as well as athletic shorts, khaki shorts and “Bro-tanks.” All of these clothing options can be mixed and matched with each other or paired with items already in your closet! Some essential spring colors are floral patterns, white, light blue and pink, which highlight the return of color back into nature. Most of these brands, colors and styles will be fully stocked on store shelves. While buying new clothes is always fun, try looking through your clothes from years past. If they’re not in style now, it could be a great project to remake them into something stylish now!
Even though spring has officially begun, don’t ditch warmer clothing yet! Insulated rain boots, thick soled tennis shoes and light jackets are still important during this time of year. Wisconsin weather, as most of its inhabitants know, is highly unpredictable and weather is never consistent. You could start the day wearing a jacket and thick soled boots and end in flip flops and shorts!
Looking for specific outfit ideas? For a more modest look, pair a light colored skirt with a fun, patterned top. If the temperature dips a little low, add tights or leggings and close toed flat or heel. For a more adventurous style, try suspender shorts with a plain t-shirt underneath and pair them with funky sunglasses and chunky boots. Not edgy enough? Try jeans with a more faded or washed out look. Another great look for class is an oversized cardigan with a flowered skirt or dress underneath. The cardigan serves not only as a great article of clothing, but it keeps you warm during chilly mornings.
If skirts and dresses aren’t your thing, try pairing striped or block printed tank tops and colored shorts. This outfit looks great with either running shoes or sandals, depending on the wearer or the temperature. Want to have a more professional, yet casual look? Khaki pants paired with a simple white t-shirt or light blazer will pull this look off.
Ultimately, it’s up to the individual to decide what he or she is most comfortable in. Whether it’s as simple as shorts and a tank top or a flowing maxi dress with gold accented wedges, all are great options. But no matter how good your sandals look, blue toes in 40 degree weather will not accent them well, so wear weather appropriate clothing. The most important thing about this year’s spring fashion, though, is simple. Be comfortable and wear whatever makes you feel the best!
