As we are layering up for winter, putting a cute outfit together starts to become more of a hassle. It is easy for girls to throw on their cliché Victoria Secret Pink hoodies and matching yoga pants, and for guys to throw on a sweatshirt and jeans.
Maybe half of you are lazy and don’t really care about your appearance; maybe the other half of you are confused and need a little help. Just because the temperature drops, does not mean your fashion standards have to drop as well.
An emerging trend that I have seen around campus that I actually appreciate are joggers. Joggers are sweatpants that are cropped at the ankles. These can be worn by both guys and girls, causally or to make a statement. Joggers are a universal piece of clothing; they pair well with sneakers or boots and look good with fitted hoodies or a regular t-shirt.
Speaking of sweats, it soccer season, and we all know what that means: Adidas sweatpants, “Adidas Slim 3S Sweatpants” (to be exact). These are those sweatpants with the vertical stripes on the sides that we all know and love. Although I’m personally not a fan of sweats, my love for these pants are endless. They only seem to come around during soccer season, so naturally soccer athletes are my favorite.
The next trend is flannels, which are very in this season. They are perfect for layering, and can also be worn by both sexes. Very versatile article of clothing – can be buttoned up, worn around the waist, used as a cover up (comes in handy when getting dressed coded); the possibilities are endless!
Knee high and thigh high socks have made a popular comeback. Knee highs are long socks that cover the feet and legs up to the knee, thigh highs extend to the mid thigh. They are a fashion accessory for a casual and classic warm weather apparel. These go great with skater skirts and skater dresses. These socks are a great alternative to wearing tights or stockings, plus they add a little edge to any outfit.
Last but not least, boots. Combat boots, ankle boots, knee high boots, Doc Martens; these boots were made for walking. My favorite part about winter fashion are the boots. Boots tie most outfits together, they can make a bold, brash statement, or send a haute sophisticated message. Boots are a timeless trend.
These are a few of my favorite trends for this winter season, stay cute, fashionable, and warm Puma nation.
