"Fashions fade, but style is eternal." — Yves Saint Laurent
If someone told me as an incoming freshman that junior year I would be wearing a scrunchie around my wrist or in my hair, I would have laughed. Not only would I have laughed, but I probably would have judged the individual who tried to convince me that this would occur. Today, on the other hand, I am one of those girls who sport these six trends that have made a miraculous (and unexpected) comeback:
1. Half-up hair
Throughout the last couple years, I have watched the style that is commonly worn by toddlers evolve into the party pony, the top knot and now the double knot. Not only have I watched this trend evolve, but I've participated in it alongside my friends. Honestly, I'm not really sure why I ever spent so much time on my hair years ago only to have the same go-to hairstyle as I did when I was two.
2. Overalls
I did it — I wore overalls to the grocery store. Once I wore overalls to the grocery store I was comfortable — and not to mention confident — in them. I had to start out small because this trend is still a weird one, but now that I feel like I can rock this style, I've worn every type of denim one pieces that the stores have to offer.
3. Adidas shoes
Even the girliest of girls can be found rocking these sneakers by pairing them with jeans and skirts. I started out with simple black and white neutrals, but I'm finding myself eyeballing red and even blue Adidas shoes. Who even am I?
4. Jean skirts
Denim, in general, has always been a fan favorite, but why are these so adorable lately? I find myself pairing a jean skirt with a loose top, a crop top or even a long-sleeve button-up for any occasion. Stores have released (and not to mention sold out of) jean skirts in all forms — I've recently purchased black denim button-up skirts, dark and light wash — and even some colorful ones to pair with my neutral tops.
5. Scrunchies
Ew, right? No. Way. I have a newfound love for these comfortable bands! Not only are they easy on my hair, but they also don't hurt my wrists. That's right. Be a girl who can rock Netflix and chill hairstyle and girls night out hairstyle with only one accessory — scrunchies.
6. Chokers
Nothing shouts "badass" quite like a choker. Luckily, I can find chokers for every outfit I want to pair them with, and I've even figured out how to layer my own necklaces because of this trend. Low key, I shop at Claire's for these simple necessities.
Don't ask me why these articles of clothing and accessories have become so popular since 2016 because I don't have an answer for you. I don't question the madness; I join it.
