As the temperature rises and the days grow longer, many PHS students are swapping their spring styles for the latest summer trends.<\/p>\n


\nThe world of fashion is constantly evolving, and popular styles change on a weekly basis. \u00a0However, some items never seem to go out of style and have been summer staples for years. \u00a0Senior Sarah Gouker said, \u201cMy favorite summer staples are big sunglasses, tank tops, and swimsuits!\u201d \u00a0Junior Sam Hellinga also listed tank tops as one of her summer must-haves, along with aviators. \u00a0Sophomore Maddy Good said, \u201cFlip-flops, floral, bright colors, and jean shorts never seem to go out of style.\u201d
\nThis season, such staples will be mixed with popular new trends. \u00a0Gouker said, \u201cFlowers, stripes, and bows seem to be popular. \u00a0I keep seeing more patterns and solids instead of name brands.\u201d \u00a0Sophomore Audrey Samuelson stated, \u201cI have seen a lot of girls wearing rompers lately.\u201d \u00a0Good named bright colors and cute sunglasses as the hottest items of the summer.
\nFor information on the latest trends, students look to many different sources, including magazines and celebrities. \u00a0Hellinga said, \u201cI like looking through fashion magazines.\u201d \u00a0Good also looks to magazines for fashion advice, saying, \u201cI love Seventeen magazine!\u201d Sophomore Alexandria Schaffer, on the other hand, finds inspiration in her own closet and creates her own style. \u00a0Likewise, \u00a0Samuelson wears what she likes, regardless of what is considered fashionable. \u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t pay a lot of attention to fashion. \u00a0I just buy whatever I like,\u201d Samuelson said.
\nWhether PHS students follow trends or not, they all have favorite stores that supply them with the majority of their summer wardrobe. \u00a0Hellinga said, \u201cI love to shop at PacSun and Forever 21.\u201d \u00a0Gouker and Schaffer both plan to shop at Kohls this season, while Samuelson said, \u201cI will definitely go to American Eagle. \u00a0I buy everything there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many stores will be full of this year\u2019s most popular patterns, which include floral and stripes. \u00a0Good said, \u201cI will be wearing floral all the way!\u201d \u00a0Samuelson also listed floral as her favorite print, along with Hellinga. \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m thinking I\u2019ll be wearing a lot of floral prints this summer. \u00a0I will probably wear a lot of solid, mellow colors as well,\u201d Hellinga said. \u00a0Schaffer said she will be wearing a lot of bright and bold patterns this season.<\/p>\n

Summer can serve as the perfect opportunity to create a unique and one-of-a-kind look that doesn\u2019t necessarily match with the trends. \u00a0Samuelson said, \u201cI just go with whatever I feel like and do not change my clothing based on trends.\u201d \u00a0Hellinga does not base her wardrobe on what is in style either, saying, \u201cI wear whatever I like and if it happens to fit the trend, then neat. \u00a0If it doesn\u2019t, that\u2019s all right, too.\u201d \u00a0Good said, \u201cI only follow the trends sometimes.\u201d \u00a0Likewise, Gouker only follows trends occasionally. \u00a0\u201cI follow popular summer styles sometimes, but summer is really all about looking cute, having fun, and getting a tan!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
