Five folks at New Roads tell the less fashionably fortunate what’s up

Many people at New Roads might be curious about upcoming trends for this year. Cow print, Vans, and high rise are out, so how do we know what’s in for this season? 

Lucky for you, we have the answers right here at The Jaguardian. We caught up with some fashion icons at New Roads who shared their insight of what trends might be popping up come  springtime. We caught up with a senior, a junior, a sophomore, and two freshmen to tell us what is in for the upcoming season.

THE SENIOR

“If you still have a pair of Air Forces, throw them away,” says senior Jacob Alexander, suggesting that the fashion world is moving very quickly and it’s time to make room for new trends. Jacob is always wearing eye-catching outfits no matter the weather, even as a busy senior working on college applications and focusing on grades he still has time to put together runway-worthy outfits.

THE JUNIOR

Kaden is passionate about breaking gender stereotypes, he’s all for guys wearing crop tops and blinging up their outfits with gemstones, rings, and necklaces. According to Kaden “The more you jingle the more you shine…” Kaden believes that guys should be free to express themselves through fashion without being tied down by old-school ideas. As for those Nike Techs, Kaden’s not feeling it. Clearly what he is feeling is former New Roads student Earl Sweatshirt; an amazing rapper and fashion icon in whose footsteps Kaden seems to be following.

THE SOPHOMORE

Bea is not a fan of anything preppy and is obsessed with all looks having to do with bows by styling them in your hair or as a necklace. They’re all about body positivity and how “freeing the nip” should be a normalized thing. No matter who’s wearing the outfit, a good outfit will look good no matter who’s styling it. Wearing an outfit isn’t just about the way you wear it, it’s also about the confidence you have when rocking it. If anybody knows it’s Bea.

THE FRESHMEN

Layla and Baker are very invested in the 2000s theme. They’re very into blinged-out belts, rhinestone tops, layering shirts and jackets, and pairing mini skirts with thermal tights. 

They’re also interested in breaking gender stereotypes by encouraging guys to rock crop tops and mini skirts and embracing their feminine side. They’re also interested in the Victorian theme, specifically  Victorian dresses and would love to see many people wearing them in the future. According to Baker, “you don’t have to wear corsets,” which is probably a good idea especially if you’re running late to class.
