As we spring into a breath of fresh air, fashion is what is also blooming. Making the transition from winter to spring can be challenging for the student wardrobe.
The warmer weather gives people options when customizing their spring wardrobe.
Vogue, a world-wide fashion and lifestyle magazine, mentions the need to have accessories for spring. A pop color always draws attention, no matter the location.
Iconic fashion areas such as Paris and the Danish capital embrace the radiant colors that compliment spring, as well as the paired layers. Layers and bright colors are a balance between classical and fun.
Just like social media, fashion is always changing. “The window to wear these beloved spring outfits can pass in the blink of an eye, so it’s best to take advantage of the forecast pronto, ” according to Vogue magazine.
Denim is again the topic of discussion for spring fashion. Denim outfit suggestions were provided with a seasonal touch.

Jarek Peterson, a sophomore therapeutic recreation major from Jackson, Miss., expressed the styles he is looking forward to wearing this spring.
“Some spring styles that I’m excited for would have to be the baggy shorts and oversized graphic tee look! I would describe my spring style as unique because sometimes I will wear an oversized button down with some shorts and loafers. It may sound different and strange but when you see the vision come together it’s actually a cool look,” said Peterson.
For the ladies, dresses are a major look, no matter the occasion. One of the categories being a white dress. It’s simplistic, but never goes out of style.
The white dress gives a modern look, with each brand adding their own personality to the easy, breezy, classic dress.
Another dress category would be patterns, specifically floral. Dresses styles have expanded, with designers creating a new fashion dress category called “air-con.”
Air-con materials are breathable outfits with less layering to minimize heat. Majority of the materials are knitted, making them thin, but wearable.
While we’re on the topic of thin materials, “sheer delights” brought subtlety, shape, and grace. Whether it’s mesh, tulle, or chiffon, the key is sheer.
You could never go wrong with a good collar, especially with a preppy aesthetic. Where there’s a collar, there’s a bottom to match.
Shorts and skirts are the epitome of spring, with the structure being comfortable and diverse.
Greg Underwood, a sophomore elementary education major from Jackson, Miss., shares his feedback on spring fashion as a model.
“As a model, I love fashion, especially around this time of the year. It’s really fun seeing what looks good on me. Spring is the season where everyone’s style is the most diverse with all the bright colors and accessories,” said Underwood.
Overall, light fabrics, vibrant colors, and diverse layering options are the way to go for any spring activity.
