“90’s trash aesthetic” sums up Papadopoulos’ style. Ruth Hollenback | ClarionLayers of yellows and blues brightly contrast with the wet, green colors coating Colorado’s spring. Stephanie Papadopoulos explains that, while her inventive style has been stagnant since her senior year of high school, college has made her explore new possibilities of finding cheap clothes at thrift stores. She would describe her style as “’90s trash aesthetic,” inspired by places like American Apparel and natural fashion icons like Frankie Cosmos. Finally, Papadopoulos comments on Colorado’s weather and how it affects her ability to put together an outfit. “I have to change a lot throughout the day. My dependence on outerwear and layers has transformed and I have learned that checking my weather app before I leave my dorm is essential.”

Meredith Gee is the epitome of successful layering for Colorado’s finicky spring weather.
“I’m obsessed with scarves and hats. I love kimonos and black and white… I think that mismatching with flannels and jackets and other layers is what makes a great outfit.”
While Gee struggles to put a name to her eclectic style, she says she is inspired by fashion icons in the Pacific Northwest and she tries with each outfit to be an even mix of “boho, hipster and classy.”
“Her fashion style is she always looks put together,” commented Avia Cohen, freshman international studies major from Los Angeles.
