As the seasons change, clothing does too. Stores have already gone from selling spring clothes to summer clothes, while people go from wearing winter clothes to spring clothes.

Spring is filled with a mixture of chilly weather and hot temperatures. Rain or shine, what to wear will still be in question.

In Michigan, there will always be that transition of clothing between seasons. It is the beginning of spring and people are going from jeans, sweaters, and sweatshirts to shorts, capris, T-shirts, skirts, dresses, and, occasionally, tank tops.

Spring helps people last until their most favored season, summer, just like how spring clothing helps prepare people for the weather to come — the hot and sunny days of summer.

Winter clothing consists of darker colors and a lot of layers. Spring clothing is made up of moderate layers with bright colors and different patterns. One of the more recognized patterns would be a Hawaiian or floral pattern.

One of the favored transitions of clothing between spring and winter would be the shoes. Going from tennis shoes and boots to sandals and flip-flops can be a relief.

Junior Karmen Bishoff, to whom fashion is important, said, “I like to wear high-waist shorts, flowy tops, sun dresses, and wedge sandals (for spring and summer).”

Wedges and gladiator sandals are great for that top-notch spring outfit.

Style is also important to junior Hannah Coon.

“In the winter, boots and tights are key, and in the spring I bring out the heels and sundresses,” Coon said.

One of the more sought-after styles this spring would be the Lilly Pulitzer collection, which was sold out at Target within the first days of its release.

Lilly Pulitzer’s collection created a huge frenzy for shoppers with its spring-like patterns and colors. People were camping out at the stores waiting for them to open like it was Black Friday. The collection was sold out quickly in the stores and online.

“Lilly Pulitzer is a very popular brand in the South, and it’s also pretty expensive. I would’ve been excited to get it for cheaper, and locally, too,” Coon said.

Lilly Pulitzer and many other spring-related brands encourage people to dress to impress and be themselves.

“I feel 100 times better about myself when I like my outfit,” Coon said.

Senior Joe Dever, a soon-to-be fashion major, likes to present himself.

“Staying in style and dressing nice makes me feel comfortable while at school or in public,” Dever said. “I can never leave my house looking gross. If you ever see me when I’m looking rough, it’s because I am either lazy or I’m running errands.”

Style is a form of expression, a reason to stand out. There will always be someone out there that finds their style important.

“My parents have encouraged me to always be creative with my clothing,” Bishoff said. “I care about fashion because I care about the way I present myself. Fashion makes me feel confident. I can express myself.”

Dever is going into college to major in design and merchandising. If Dever has the opportunity, he will design his own product line.

“Style can make an impression on anyone. What makes me love it is the fact that I can look cute but also professional at the same time. Humans are like walking canvases, and I plan on making everyone a work of art,” Dever said. “I hope that when I get to college I can change my style up some more and get ideas from peers.”

Dever gave three tips to help anyone with their style:

• Be comfortable with yourself while picking your outfits
• Unless your clothes are outdated, you do not need to get a whole new wardrobe
• Since it is spring, be colorful

“Stay fierce and work it!” Dever said.
