Bold(er) Eyebrows: Cara Delevingne

Bold(er) Eyebrows: Compared to eyebrows from the 1960s, women’s eyebrows have become significantly thicker over the decades. The thick eyebrow trend has been making a comeback since the 1950s eyebrow trend inspired by Audrey Hepburn. This year’s eyebrow model is Cara Delevingne.

Polka Dots

Polka dots: A formal polka dot skirt or blouse can add a sophisticated, feminine touch. Pairing this trend with a uni-color piece really draws the eyes toward the polka dots. Give it a try!

“I think that this trend should be brought back because it was so pretty back in the ’50s when all the women wore polka dots for dresses. Also, I personally love polka dots because they’re cute, classy and fun. I own several polka dot items like dresses and headbands; it’s an obsession,” junior Gisselle Gonzalez said.

Gingham Patterns

Gingham Patterns: This pattern is nothing new, but designers are kicking off their new year by bringing back the traditional tablecloth pattern to be worn as casual wear.

“I feel like it is a bit extravagant for my style, but it is also a new spin that I’ve never really seen before,” sophomore Maria Solorzano said.
