Students anticipate style development for 2022

    After experimenting with new fashion and styles in 2021, this new year has many expecting for even better trend improvements to try out for the upcoming seasons. 

    Last year was full of 90’s and 2000’s inspired fashion, and trends that were seen in these era’s appeared on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Some of those trends included low rise and flared jeans, Juicy Couture, shoulder bags, loose or wide leg pants, tennis skirts, and more making an appearance, according to PureWow.  

    Junior Samina Dhani says, “I think UGGS are making a comeback, and maybe some 90’s trends.” She adds, “Oversized clothes might come back into style and maybe some early 2000’s things.” She is excited for the ‘baggy’ or oversized 90’s look to come back. 

    With the recent second season release of hit TV series Euphoria, former North Harford student and current Bel Air High School junior Riley Mason says, “I’m anticipating that a lot of people are going to go get inspired by Euphoria.” He adds, “I don’t really know what to be excited for to be honest, but I hope people start dressing up for school, that would be so cool to see.” He mentions, “something that’s already dying out a bit is the hippie stuff that people used to dress up as all the time.” 

    Junior Genevieve Sudbrink comments, “In terms of like indie art style, I would definitely say low rise jeans, oversized shirts, crochets, the color orange [etc. are coming back in style].” She adds, “oh and tube tops, I’m most excited about those because I loved wearing tube tops.”  She says, “I feel like ripped jeans are on their way out, they’re kind of millennial now.” 

    Another step-in fashion that started to flourish last year is unisex or gender-neutral fashion, according to PureWow. This style has been seen and represented on celebrities such as Harry Styles, David Bowie, Demi Lovato, Troye Sivan, and more, according to US Magazine.  

    Junior Logan Chapman says, “I would not only like to see, but participate in gender inclusive clothing. For example, wearing things outside of the ‘male’ gender spectrum.” He adds, “Also, I am excited to see what other trends come back to life from when our parents were young, like how bell bottoms and things of that nature have come back and made an appearance.” Chapman mentions, “I think that the leggings and cropped tops are going away because people are starting to explore more of their fashion [sense].”
