7 Millenial Fashion Trends Your Traditional Parents May Not Understand

Fashion is an evolving field, and though we can keep up with it, our parents may not be able to.

The fashion industry is a never-ending change. There is always a new pop trend that shows up and causes chaos in the world of teens. However, even though we as teenagers move fast with these trends, our parents don't as much. They tend to get stuck. That is also okay, I mean everyone is comfortable with what they are used to wearing. Who knows maybe in a few years we will be the ones who are clueless about what to wear.

1. Colored Hair

Colored hair is a big one among the adults. They seem to not understand that we like to be ourselves and our black or brown or blond hair does not allow us to do that. We like individuality and can show that through the color of our hair.

2. Ripped Jeans

Ripped jeans. This is one thing that I believe all the parents do not like at all. I know whenever I want to buy ripped jeans that is a quick not-even-going-to-think-about-it-no from my parents.

3. Wearing Leggings as Pants

Wearing leggings as pants is a very comfortable thing that many of us enjoy doing, but our parents do not enjoy seeing us in them. Many parents ask why we are wearing leggings to school, but the reality is that they are comfortable.

4. Crop Tops

"Why are you showing your skin?! Go change!!" That is what we hear when we even step foot downstairs wearing a shirt that shows our belly. We cannot show our skin; it is as if that is an omen.

5. Messy Buns

Okay girls, raise your hands if you are tired of having picture perfect hair everyday. I know I am, and the solution to that is making a bun. These buns are so comfortable it is amazing.

6. Cold Shoulder Shirts

Cold shoulder tops are a no no because apparently others will get distracted by our shoulders. The reality is that does not even happen and that explanation does not actually make sense. Cold shoulder tops are cute, but they are not completely approved by parents.

7. The Plethora of Rings

Rings: they are so pretty, but "Why should we cover our fingers?" and "They get in the way of everything!" is what we hear. Also, sometimes we hear about how they should be saved for only weddings. I do not think parents completely understand that times have changed and rings are not just reserved for weddings.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
