Spring has sprung! In other words, your primary wardrobe no longer consists of layering five pairs of leggings, snow boots, and a parka to survive the blistering cold walk to class. The warmer weather can allow you to better express yourself and take more fashion risks. So what do guys think of the latest spring fashion trends? We asked three dapper college guys what their thoughts were on the most popular styles this season.
High-Waisted Shorts
Dan: Acceptable when frolicking through a meadow
Mitch: Wearing these makes you look like Steve Urkel
Pat: Keep them at music festivals
Flower Hippie Headbands
Dan: Leave the high waisted shorts at the hippie festival, but these can definitely stay
Mitch: Yes, but don’t wear them in a dating scene
Pat: Appropriate whenever liquor is being consumed
Harem Pants
Dan: These are only acceptable while taming an elephant at the circus, otherwise unacceptable.
Mitch: You don’t want to look like MC Hammer. Do people actually wear these?
Pat: No comment
Rain boots
Dan: Has to be with yoga pants. …make it rain ;)
Mitch: Yes if it’s raining or in winter.
Pat: I think I’ve had enough of them
Statement Necklaces
Dan: A sophisticated statement necklace looks best when it’s a turquoise necklace on top of a black dress
Mitch: You have to be at least 30 years old with kids; it’s a MILF thing to wear
Pat: Reminds me of something that my Mom wears
Army/Cargo Jackets
Dan: I salute to that
Mitch: YES YES YES!
Pat: Hell yeah
Maxi Skirts
Dan: Great through a summer’s breeze
Mitch: Show some skin, what are we Amish?
Pat: If you’re wearing them, a beach must be within a 2 mile radius
Boyfriend Jeans
Dan: Only acceptable if they’re mine ;)
Mitch: Like the statement necklace, only to be worn by a MILF.
Pat: Something only a post grad should wear
Birkenstocks
Dan: Classy
Mitch: I don’t give a shit about footwear really
Pat: The girl I marry better have at least 3 pairs
High-low Dresses
Dan: Party in the front, business in the back
Mitch: Not a fan, get off the fence and pick one or the other. Did the tailor have a heart attack midway through cutting the dress?
Pat: Mitch has poor taste; I want to see more of these dresses.
Rompers
Dan: Leave rompers at baby gap where they belong
Mitch: Rompers make a girl look beautiful
Pat: I need some time for them to grow on me
Crop Tops
Dan: This is for “dem ratchets”
Mitch: Not if you’re my girlfriend. And if you’re going to wear it then you might as well just go in a bra
Pat: What’s not to like
So maybe guys don’t see eye to eye with us girls when it comes to spring fashion trends, but that doesn’t mean we should dress to cater to their preferences. I don’t know about you, but I’m still going to rock the high-waisted shorts regardless if I’m frolicking through a meadow or not.
