Back to School Fashion

Back to school brings about many things: new classes, new friends, and new clothing trends. Due to the large student class on campus, there are various fashion trends on display this school year.
Y2K fashion seems to be making a comeback among teens with early 2000’s closet staples such as wide leg denim, zip ups and tracksuits, and anything with the black and pink color combination. Not only is this style iconic and adorable, but it is sure to bring back nostalgic memories for the millennial generation who witnessed the birth of the trend firsthand.


The recent influx in vintage band tees within the fashion world is a perfect way to express yourself through both the music and clothing you enjoy.

It’s all about layering. From button downs over tops to tights under shorts, the possibilities are endless. Layering can be the key factor in elevating an outfit and is very convenient in chilly weather.

You can never go wrong with vibrance. The bright colors of this outfit are reminiscent of 60’s fashion, especially with the hot pink flare pants and “Flower Power” emblem.

Statement necklaces, rings and bracelets all add a special touch to outfits and bring them to the next level. Jewelry is often key in elevating an outfit.

The elegant floral corset and black combat boots have vastly different vibes, that when paired together, create a fun, eclectic outfit. Combining opposite aesthetics is always a fresh twist on styling items in your closet.

To many, fashion is more than just clothing and instead a form of self-expression. Seeing the variety of different styles around West is the best way to get a glimpse into a student’s creative side.
