Welcome, spring fashions!

A groundhog predicts an early spring? Marvelous.

It appears the weather really is improving and this tends to imply blokes throwing a Frisbee around willy-nilly with their shirts off, and the main quad transforming into something that resembles a zoo.
Temperatures are on the rise and a general sentiment that spring is here requires us to consider packing away the chunky knits and rummage around for those numbers that have been waiting to be worn for far too long.

Although the fashion world is already showing off the latest collection for the fall and winter, I thought I might just take a brief look at what might “work” on campus this spring.

Women’s magazines have been chiming away about “eclectic chic” and the like for quite some time, but to be honest, I have no idea what that means.

However, it seems bold colors and happy prints should be a hit for those wanting to make a statement or catch someone’s eye.
Spring is supposed to be fresh, fun and fabulous, so here’s me hoping the ladies on campus step up their game, as opposed to resorting to athletic shorts and such!

Menswear is making a comeback as the lads are starting to care more about they way they look; at least they are in New York.

But maybe chaps on campus can make some wise choices too; shoot for minimal white if you want to keep it classy, then there was also a fair amount of fluorescence from Raf Simons and other notable designers.

Military cargo pants (so be it), shirts and jackets continue to show up, so take a look at some of that if you fancy.

Anyway, here’s to a spectacular spring and some glamorous garb!
