Whether it’s pants or shorts, the trends always change. They’re either too short, too high, or too low. Now that the temperature has risen, it’s time to bring out those shorts. Between fashion magazines and our school campus, denim, high waisted, and even brightly colored shorts are quickly becoming high fashion.

When it comes to shorts, however, it is possible for them to be too short. Remember to follow CCHS dress code and show self respect when choosing your shorts.

Just like shorts, pants come in many fashionable styles. Even though it’s 2013, a reminder is needed that overly loose or baggy pants are not only in violation the dress code, but they’re also unfashionable.

Young men and women should not be afraid to flaunt some style with their choices of shorts and pants, but it is important to remember to follow dress code policies. You want people to talk about how well you dress, not about how poor your fashion choices have become. People are always going to have a passion for fashion, but it’s how you approach it that matters most.

As we get into spring, fashion begins to get brighter, lighter, and more fun. A trend that exemplifies this upbeat springtime attitude is floral prints.

Floral prints come in all different shapes in sizes. Despite their bold look, florals always look nice and are a good addition to your closet. They can look romantic and flirty, or fun and cute. With a floral print you can go out of the ordinary and get a piece of clothing that has bold florals, or a piece of clothing that has subtle florals. The choice is up to you and depends on your taste.

Floral prints are seen in almost every type of clothing. They are very common on shirts and blouses, but have been more recently seen on pants and shorts. It’s a good idea to add floral bottoms to your closet because they add variation to a closet full of plain bottoms.

If you want to go with a more romantic outfit definitely wear a short floral print dress. If you want to wear a more casual yet still cute outfit try wearing a long and flowy floral dress.

Until next time our fashion followers...

Tyler Gregory Okonma became the frontman of his crew of young rabble-rousers known as Odd Future at their height in 2011. Since then, his collaborative has released many mix tapes and gained a wide fan base.

Okonma, better known by his stage name, “Tyler, The Creator,” has released two solo albums, and his third album, Wolf, is set to be released April 2nd.

Okonma’s previous albums were highly critiqued because of his dark, often misogynistic and violent lyrics. Canadian pop duo Tegan & Sara wrote an open letter decrying homophobia in his music. Okonma’s manager has said that his music has evolved and believes that his offensive lyrics have changed. Okonma has become a pioneer for self production by producing his own music, music videos, designing tour posters and merchandise.

Now 20 years old, Okonman is grappling with some deeply rooted personal problems, from the absence of his father to the death of his grandmother and his rise to fame. Odd Future fans might find this album to be another part of his dysfunctional belt, but a closer listen will prove that this album shows growth.

The album may be all over the place, but for fans, it is definitely worth the listen. If you’re looking for a one trick pony, then you should try a different artist.

Parental Advisory is required because the album does contain vulgar language and racy subjects. Critics have given this album 3.5-4.5 out of five stars. Fans have anticipated the album since Tyler took to Twitter to announce its release. The wait is over because the album is to be released tomorrow (4/2).
