Winter Fashion Trends

     Tis' the season for all things fashionable...and functionable. Along with the delicate snowflakes and frost nipping at our toes comes a range of of wardrobe pieces to make the winter feel and look just right. Whether it be looks borrowed from the boys such as flannels and roughed up jeans, to the classic cozy sweater, infinity scarves or the staple of boots, this seasons trends are ones to try.

     This winter at Chadron High, students Mikaru Hirose, Veronica Parish, and Greta Welch were interviewed alongside Ms. Mack about their opinions on this years winter trends. Giving tips and knowledge about everything to the latest and upcoming pieces to their personal favorites, they  offered a fashionable expertise on this seasons most popular items.

     One of the overall favorites of the group was scarves and boots. As Mrs. Mack said, " Scarves and boots are comfortable yet fashionable. "Adding proof to this statement are the students Veronica and Mikaru. In Mikaru's words, "Boots most definitely! They are really cute." Veronica goes with the comfortable approach, choosing scarves because, "...they are really warm."

     Two main items that seem to be a must have for every girl is flannels and cozy sweaters. Some people seem to be for just flannels, or favor sweaters only. However, Veronica is a fan of both, " I like both flannels and sweaters, even sometimes together at the same time." Greta, however, is not a fan of flannels stating sweaters are better because, " ...you don't have to button them unlike flannels." Mrs. Mack agrees saying, "I've never been a huge flannel fan."

     Another item trending at the moment is boots. Boots have always been a staple for girls, but as the years go by, more and more updates have been added to this well loved classic. From combat boots, to stacked, high heeled and riding boots, there are many options to choose from. A personal favorite of Mrs. Mack is the riding boot. " I have riding boots and quilted uggs, but I like the riding boot better. They come up higher on your leg and therefore elongate them instead of making them look short and stocky."

     Overall, the trend most seen at Chadron High School is the go-to of leggings and sweaters with accessories as stated above. As Veronica  said, " Any outfit is complete with leggings, boots and a scarf. It's what everyone is wearing. Even three out of five girls in this room are wearing leggings."

     No matter what you may prefer though, there is a winter trend to try out there for everyone.
