Freshman Olivia Minnich, with a style she described as “casual, relaxed, comfortable and earthy,” mentioned that personalizing your style is a way to make it trendy and most suitable for you.

In regards to her favorite trends, Minnich said, “My favorites would definitely be the embroidery that I have been seeing. I love this because it fits my style perfectly, it’s so earthy and cute, yet it doesn’t make an article of clothing uncomfortable.”

Minnich also favored the bleached and distressed T-shirts, as well as crochet bikinis, which are all very prominent trends displayed on social media.
