Every year fashion trends are coming and going. 2023 has been a year with many new, old, and fascinating trends that have become exceptionally popular. These fashion trends include items ranging all the way from hair clips to baggy jeans from the 90s, as well as Converse and sweats. Many of these well-known trends such as Uggs, flare leggings, and cargo pants have infiltrated DHS.
Junior Sarah Sawin noted cargo pants are her favorite fashion trend of 2023.
“They’re still very stylish but way more comfortable than leggings or jeans,” Sawin
said.
Cargo pants are also Junior Josie Alabre’s preferred trend.
“Definitely parachute pants or cargo pants because they’re cute and they’re fun to style,” Alabre said.
The majority of fashion trends arise from celebrities, models, and fashion designers (in general, famous people). These people wear certain clothing that spark a generic person’s interest. Those people start wearing that style or article of clothing, then their friends do, and so on. A fashion trend is born.
However, fashion trends aren’t always a piece of clothing or an accessory; at times, it can be a whole style. A huge example was when the “VSCO girl” style was popular. Teenage girls produced this trend and it was entirely scrunchies, crop tops, high rise leggings, and Hyrdroflasks that made a rise in 2019 and throughout 2020.
Some of the more popular fashion trendsin 2023 according to around 125 students at DHS are, “Boston” Birkenstocks, “Tasman” Uggs, flare leggings, cargo pants, parachute pants, sweats, and baggy clothing among many more.
Students noted that trends from 25-30 years ago are resurfacing again.
“Things like graphic T-shirts and shackets that were popular in the 90s have come back and are super popular,” freshman Cat Maust said. “There is also a whole style
based off of retro clothing.” Principal Melanie Nowak agreed when reflecting on the similarities between the current fashion trends and those in the 90s.
“Yes, it’s all the same stuff that we wore in middle school,” Nowak said. “All the fashion trends we had when I was in middle school are now coming back around. They’re just recycling the same fashion stuff. The bigger jeans, etc.”
In general, fashion trends are a substantial part of the world’s culture today. Peoplne all over the globe share a mutual interest in styles and clothing.
“Fashion trends allow people to collaborate on ideas and opinions in a fun and creative way that bring people together,” Sawin said.
