Spring is finally here, and Fashionistas on campus are ready to showcase their new looks (and spring break tans). That being said, attention-grabbing bright colors and brilliantly bold accessories are everywhere. The power of accessorizing is being practiced all over campus, and it’s easy to see why. The perfect accessory can make or break an outfit. Whether it’s the perfectly-paired purse you throw over your shoulder or the funky-fresh fedora you place on your head, accessories have a powerful impact on your look. This Fashionista adds a little extra excitement to her look by pairing her olive green shirt, basic black leggings, and grey converse with a woven fedora hat. The woven aspect of the fedora allows it to be perfectly incorporated into your spring wardrobe – and for those of us who didn’t head to an exotic island for spring break, the fedora serves as a great way to shield your face from the sun as the weather gets warmer. As demonstrated by this Fashionista, fedoras are the perfect way to transform a simple, casual outfit – making a seemingly boring look much more refreshing. Fedoras can hide a bad hair day, and are especially great for those days where you miss the alarm and find your beauty routine consists of a mere five minutes before hurrying to class. This trend can be incorporated in endless ways. Fedoras also provide the perfect opportunity to jazz-up a printed spring dress, or can provide a great twist on a nautical look when paired with a striped tee and skinny jeans. Pair one with an oversized tee for a borrowed-from-your-boy look, or, let your boy borrow it. This trend is great for guys as well, and with the increased popularity of menswear accessories this season, this trend is one that is sure to be utilized by guys and girls alike.
Hint: Spice up the typical floral-print trend for spring by adding a floral-print fedora to an otherwise simple look. This is a great way to add character to your look, and also uniquely incorporate an ever-so-popular print amongst your look. Not a fan of floral print? Add a simple flower instead. Both options are perfect for spring.
