The random burst of spring weather brought out convertibles, nature pictures, but most of all, a glimpse into spring trends. However, some students hope that spring-cleaning will get rid of old trends.

Trends from summer and spring were tucked into closets during the fall and winter seasons, and some students hope that they will stay there when spring begins on March 20.

For junior Holly Hart, the chevron style that erupted last spring needs to take its final bow.

“I want chevron to go away,” Hart said. “Too many people wore it, so now it’s just overdone. A little bit is okay, but if I see too much more, I’m going to scream.”

The striped style was not only present in the chevron pattern, but also in new shoe trends. Strappy sandals and gladiators have been around, but the outbreak of Chacos as comfort shoes quickly took over stores.

Junior Mitchell Reeves noticed the trend of Chacos this summer, and disapproves of the design and cost.

“Chacos are so overrated. It’s about $100 for a pair of sandals with straps. I could buy two pairs of shoes with that money, plus I can wear those year round. They aren’t pleasing to the eye either.”

As old trends are swept away, new trends are being brought in to take their place.

Sophomore Christian Taylor realized that the biggest trend stepping forward this spring is not simply a pattern or a brand. It is individuality.

“As far as trends go, I’m glad that more and more people are stepping away from them and wearing what they want,” Taylor said. “People have started expressing themselves instead of wearing what the ‘cool’ trend is. It’s interesting to see people bring different things to the table.”
