Hey seniors! It's officially crunch time. College applications, standardized tests, and the looming shadow of "what comes next?" can feel overwhelming for a senior. But amidst the stress, don't forget to embrace the excitement of this unique year!


One way to celebrate your individuality and connect with your peers is through self-expression, and that includes staying on top of trends. But remember, trends are meant to inspire, not dictate. Here are some tips for navigating the senior year style scene and creating a look that's authentically you:

1. Find your voice:


What are your passions? Hobbies? Favorite artists or influencers? Look to them for inspiration as a senior, but don't feel pressured to copy them entirely.


2. Embrace individuality:


Don't be afraid to mix and match styles. Vintage finds paired with modern streetwear? Bold colors with classic silhouettes? Go for it Senior!


3. Sustainability is key:


Consider shopping in second-hand stores or borrowing clothes from friends to create unique outfits while being mindful of the environment.


4. Comfort is cool:


Confidence comes from feeling good about what you wear. If a trend makes you feel self-conscious, skip it!


5. Look beyond the clothes:


Accessories, hairstyles, and makeup can all elevate your look and showcase your personality as a senior.
