Fashion trends tend to start through the runway, through social media or through “street style” or “street wear,” which often consists of casual baggy clothes, which would be considered most popular today.

Trends tend to last somewhere between one and five years while re-emerging every 20, for example jean shorts coming back from the 1990s or the “y2k aesthetic” re-emerging in today’s top trends.

“Keep baggy clothing, keep jorts,” senior Kyzer Strawbridge said.

Strawbridge believes in staying comfortable with his clothes and that this is possible without wearing pajamas in through the halls. Strawbridge follows the jean shorts trend as well as mirror sunglasses.

Senior Jhannah Reed plays around with different styles of fashion and makeup, typically opting for a color scheme consisting of two colors. Reed also believes shoes such as Jordans can make an outfit better, saving up over both summer break and the school year to buy a pair for herself.

Reed would like to see headbands make a comeback in 2024, although she hasn’t worn them much. Reed predicts that headbands will be trending items for 2024. Although Reed is a fan of color she does want to see striped, colored clothing make its way out in the new year.

Junior Colette Giezentanner hopes people will become more adventurous with fashion choices. Giezentanner hopes to see more thrifted and home made clothes in order to move away from online shopping.

“I’m tired of seeing gray all the time. Be honest with yourself if you like a certain subculture or style,” Giezentanner said .

“I think that the mystical, medieval, and arcane is in for 2024. 2024 should have another medieval revival that’s similar to the one that happened in the 60s/70s,” Giezentanner said.
