As spring rolls around with cherry blossom trees and sunny skies, Harrisites are switching up their style to adjust to the incoming warmer temperatures. Heavy sweaters and sweatpants previously keeping Harrisites warm are becoming shorts and tank tops to battle the heat within classrooms. But, what’s trending with Harrisites this Spring? Here are THHS’s biggest spring trends right now:
Flowy Maxi Skirts:
Long, flowy maxi skirts have been a popular trend with Harrisites. The most common variation of these skirts seen are the white, tiered maxi skirts. However, as these skirts become more popular, variations of different colors and patterns are available at different stores. These skirts are light and effective in keeping the person cool and comfortable, yet fashionable acting as a simple, yet stylish addition to your outfit.
Junior Tristin Hall said, “They’re a great way to stay cool as it gets warmer outside, but still covers enough so your knees aren’t cold”, expressing the practicality and later adds on, “they’re so cute because it has a cottage-core vibe, perfect for having a picnic in the park.” These skirts can easily be styled up or down and are definitely a clothing staple for the spring season.
