It’s that time of year again when students start to leave behind comfy boots, jackets and sweaters, and settle into clothing that is much more suited for the spring such as shorts, tank tops and sandals. Fashion Marketing teacher Ms. Tricia Poythress shares her thoughts on what students will be wearing this season, as well as some interesting trends that may be coming back.
1. What trends are coming up for spring?
Pastels, lace, flare hemmed dresses/skirts and patterned pants
2. When you see boys and girls walking around, what do you think of what they’re wearing?
Most look very cute and fashionable
3. Are there any past trends, like from previous decades like the 70’s that are expected to be coming back this season?
A little of the 50’s with the feminine fit and details
4. What is your favorite style for spring?
Well, for my age, it would be different. For your age, I love the lace crocheted shorts.
5. Did the fashion show foreshadow anything for spring?
Yes. We were right on trend for our predictions
6. What trends will we expect to see for prom?
Pastel colors, less edgy….more feminine in details and fabrics
7. Do you think people will wear winter items, like UGGS, for spring?
I am not a huge fan of Uggs or moccasins with shorts or dresses. They are way too casual and almost sloppy. I do think that some of the other boots like Frye (or leather) with shorts and dresses can look super trendy and cool when worn the right way.
