This week I did some trend spotting on campus or more like trend stalking. I saw a lot of interesting outfits and clothing combinations. Besides the usual ratty jeans, t shirts, and Nike shorts, I spotted some fun trends.
I saw several thick warm sweaters to accent fun prints and florals. Sweaters with wooden, and metal unique buttons. Sweaters ribbed, fuzzy, and even sequined. I like this neutral brown with a sweet little collar.
I saw 70's inspired silhouettes and color combinations. I'm personally really into bringing some of the 70's back. This almost looks like a possible Missoni vintage piece.( I love this forest green belt, and red socks.)
I spotted several grandma sweater with tight wearers. I'm wondering if this trend will die out because although its extremely comfortable, its very Denton.This trend setter also had some really cute black booties on to set off her sweater.
I've also spotted this unisex trend of doing what I call "Jeans in Sneaks". This is when you scrunch your jeans into your open tongued sneakers. I see it more in men's wear but that doesn't stop the ladies from joining in either. I like the style. It gives off a cool relaxed fashion vibe. I might just try it.
There is no denying the overwhelming power of the leather backpack. It is all over campus accompanying anything from combat boots, to floor length maxi dresses. I'm a huge fan of the leather backpack. It's classic, chic, and gets straight to the point. That's my kind of accessory.
Now that it's starting to get closer and closer to Spring, I've seen lots of prints being mixed back into everyone's wardrobe. From florals to geometrics, from minis to floor length, you name it we've got it. Mostly paired with leggings or patterned tights. I really like mixing patterns and think there is always a time and place to wear some patterned tights with a floral mini. It creates depth and contrast in an unexpected way.
Another dominating trend is the chunky infinity scarf. It is not only seen with heavy jackets in the winter but paired with t shirts in between seasons to give a thrown together yet, chic style. I personally think chunky scarves are a great accessory to spice up any regular outfit.
Bright colors have made their way into the jacket world. You can't go far on campus without spotting a bright colored jacket from across campus. It's nice to see something besides the usual black, brown, and white seasonal apparel. I'm loving this bright blue double breasted pea coat and the printed scarf.
All of these trends you can find going on in the fashion world:
