StudentsWorking Spring Fashions Into Your School Dress Code
School is a drag and sometimes, the school dress code can be even
more of a drag. You want to look stylish and trendy but there are
certain rules that must be followed when going to school for the day
and your style needs to conform a little. There is no need to worry
about that with this year’s spring fashion trends. It’s no longer
about how short your outfits are and it’s all about themes, colours,
and patterns. These looks make it easy to wear something that is
super-hot and that you’re school won’t see as a super-not.
Safari is a very hot theme this year. Think khaki, buttons, and
cargo pockets. Pair a safari jacket with brown pants or shorts and
don a stylish safari hat to be the hit of the class! Another very
hot theme is the global theme. This look takes its roots from
African and Middle Eastern culture so you want to mix many bright
colours in the same ensemble. Something such as a knee length dress
with brightly coloured circles or a simple brown skirt with African
designs along the hemline, paired with a silk jersey top with the
same global theme but a different design such as short white slash
marks against a black and bright blue background.
Preppy is always in it seems and that is still true this year. Wear
a collared button-up blouse underneath a light, solid colour V-neck
sweater and pair them both with a pair of solid colour, straight
pants. Forego the penny loafers (because those actually did meet
their demise in the 80s) and exchange them for a white sneaker. This
gives the preppy a little edge and will take the style up to the
next level. Other themes that are very popular this year are
nautical, floral, and punk.
Another way to make a bold statement at your school this year is
through patterns and prints. Where they were once taking a back seat
to solid and simpler colours, now you almost can’t go wrong if you
were something that has the pattern to add a little pizzazz. For the
trendiest patterns try zebra prints, leopard prints, flowers, retro
prints, ethnic prints, stripes, stars, rosettes, and plaids.
Anything with large shapes, such as circles, dots, ovals, and lines
are also very hot and can be put on just about anything to make it
super trendy and stylish!
Just as you can wear just about any print or pattern, you can also
wear just about any colour. This year, colours are all the rage and
there’s nothing you can do wrong! In fact, this year the bolder the
colour is the better. The hottest colours that you’ll see emerging
this spring are yellows, oranges, bright greens, bright reds,
fuchsia, violet, and bright blue. To tie into the nautical theme try
pairing red, white, and blue together to make a great outfit.
Because neutral colours never go out of style, you may want to mix
the tones by wearing dark pants, a white shirt and bold red shoes.
With all of the choices coming out for this year’s spring fashions,
you really can wear just about anything. There are so many choices
that whichever you feel fits your own personal style, it most
probably is in style this year!
