Daylongs are a rite of passage at Penn State. Without our Saturdays at the bars, apartments, or fraternities, we would be bored and lonely. However, when attending a daylong you notice that everyone looks the same. If you see one Instagram on a Sunday morning you probably could quit while you're ahead, because you'll have seen them all. Regardless, you want to be with the trends and therefore you succumb to peer pressure and buy up the newest look.
1. Choker.
The eighth grade trend is back, people. In the event that you are a hoarder you may even have your collection of chokers from back in the 2000's. You can go for the typical black ones like everyone else or dress it up and have some fun with the trend. I am sure if you look at your TimeHop from 6 years ago, one picture probably has you in the same outfit you'll be wearing at a daylong this year. Interesting to see the trends coming full circle.
2. Adidas.
When you were te,n your parents convinced you Puma sneakers were in, meanwhile they never were. Today, I am telling you Adidas have become the new Converse at Penn State. Yes, I know they cost more and you probably just bought yourself a new pair of Converse, but on the bright side you will be trendy.
3. Boyfriend jeans.
In 2000's skirts were the thing. In 2008 it was trying to find the tightest wearing pants on the market. In 2016, it is all about the perfect crop top and boyfriend jean match. Thank god this is a trend, because in 2008 it took 10 minutes to put jeans on. Today, they're as comfortable as a good pair of sweatpants.
4. Calvin Klein.
Remember when Victoria's Secret was the place to buy everything under the sun? Well the secret is out, Victoria is a man, and now the new man back in town is CK. Shirts, sports bras, boxers, and underwear, you name it and CK has it. He's back in style so you might as well get it while it's hot.
5. Round sunglasses.
Ray-Ban way wafers are a thing of the past for girls. Gladiators did not last long. Mom sunglasses get lost in the shuffle. So how to stand out while still fitting in? Find the biggest, most obnoxiously colored round sunglasses. The nice thing about this trend is that you can spend less than $20, still be stylist, and because they take up half you're face, make up just became optional.
