The students of Burrell High School offered their opinions on these changing trends and the new looks spring is going to be serving up this year.
What do they have to say about fast fashion, athletic wear, and the pricing of high-end clothing brands?
How does the maketing, merchandizing and overall popularity of athleasuire produced by brands such as Aerie, Lululemon and Athleta effect the fashion industry. Do you think this effect will contiue to take place throughout spring?
Senior Chloe Walton - "Yes! I think Athleasuire has definiely made a comeback in the last year or two. Personally, I love it! In other countries athleasuire does not seem as popular and Americans tend to lean more towards the comfort of sweats and a workout top, and I think it's cute!"
What is your opinion on fast fashion brands such as SHIEN? How do you think it competes with higher end brands?
Senior Cassidy Ley - "Personally, I think SHIEN is more affordable for high school students, so it would compete well since so many people are purchasing from their website."
What are some of your favorite trends for this spring?
Senior Alexa Armando - "I love things with flowers on them and sundresses as well."
Do you think TikTok and other social media platforms play a role in fast changing trends or influence indivduals to purchase clothing even if the trend isn't here to stay?
Senior Dylan McKallip - "1000%! The influencers tend to do brand deals and advertise certain brands or products all the time and people just follow along because they see someone they like post it on social media."
How do you feel about fashion trends?
Junior Elliana Kloulouris - "I don't follow trends. I just kind of go with the flow and wear whatever I want."
