While spring does not always mean clear skies and sunny days in Oregon, Western students have embraced the break in freezing temperatures with a change in personal style.

Layering, ever popular during times of unpredictable weather, is something many students take part in. Cardigans over camisoles topped with infinity scarves are popular choices for those who dress in a feminine manner, whereas jean jackets over flannel shirts are a casual staple for most people, regardless of gender or style.

While designers and stores push for flowy fabrics and boho-chic styles for spring and the upcoming summer, many students are choosing to stray away from traditional pastel or bright colors and skewing more toward monochrome neutrals and dark, vampy shades.

Being a college campus, many students choose to dress in a casual manner, but even this can be done in a fashionable way. Fitted or tapered sweatpants and loose, draped sweatshirts are ways to make a lazy day comfortable, yet stylish.

Due to the early spring chill in the air, many students top their outfits with fashionable jackets, such as neutral colored anoraks or fitted rain coats.
