Spring Weekend Forecast: Fashion Edition
The countdown to Spring Weekend has begun. Spotify playlists are buzzing with Mitski, Daniel Caesar, and Lawrence, friends are having heated debates on which SV parties are really worth the price, and stomachs are anticipating the arrival of many, many chicken nuggets. But the most pressing issue on people’s minds has nothing to do with the music at all. Spring Weekend is, after all, a chance to show off once and for all how ~fashionable~ you really are. Whether you’re trying to impress your Ratty crush during a darty on Wriston, catch the eye of Daniel Caesar as you dance so seductively in the crowd, or prove to F@B board members that they shouldn’t have rejected your application freshman year, a good spring weekend outfit is an essential. Lucky for you, I’ve recruited the help of Brown’s most fashionable folk to tell you what the ***hottest*** trends will be this Spring Weekend. Trend 1: Hawaiian Print
Have you wanted to be a parent on vacation? Lucky for you, you don’t have to wait! According to some ***extremely*** fashionable folks, Hawaiian print will be all over the place this year. Board shorts, button ups, bandanas -- you name it, it’ll be Hawaiian print! So put on your sunscreen, grab your camera, and don’t forget to snap some pics of the fam to send to Grandma! Trend 2: Two-piece sets
Are you afraid you’ll sweat a lot this Spring Weekend as you dance the day away? Have no fear, the two-piece set is here! These sets will be very popular this year, as they serve both fashion and functionality purposes. Get ready to feel the breeze on your tummy as you strut around campus, knowing that your sweat is nowhere to be seen! Trend 3: Romphims
Romphims, the male version of a romper, are expected to make a debut appearance this year. The romphim, which, according to their website, is advertised as having “maximum comfort” and “guaranteed fun,” is a sure win at this year’s concert. Plain colors slightly resemble prison jumpsuits so be sure to buy a nice patterned look! Trend 4. Fanny packs
Ah, yes, the beloved fanny pack is back. After its debut out of dad-hood a few years ago, you can be certain that this music-festival staple will be back in full swing. Animal print, sparkly, and patterned fanny packs are expected during Spring Weekend. They are a great place to store your phone, your key, and the other things you may forget about after drinking so much lemonade! Trend 5. Biker Shorts
This new trend has revolutionized the old-man biker short into a young, hip, fresh fashion essential that has been frequently sported by everyone's favorite sex tape star and self-taught-lawyer, Kim Kardashian. These shorts have the amazing benefit of being incredibly stretchy for when you need to suddenly show off the split you learned how to do in 5th grade gymnastics. Get shopping, kids!
