Fashion shows may only last about 15 minutes, but the runway never stops. After all, every day is like a fashion show and our campus is our real-life runway. However, what is it that makes and breaks an outfit? Accessories. So here are some accessories that you should have in your wardrobe this season.
Backpack
While top handle, tote, and shoulder bags are classics, backpacks are practical and stylish.
“I wear a backpack to school because I can throw my gym clothes, lunch and books in it. More importantly, though, it’s for back support,” according Bianca Barron, senior communications student at CSU Bakersfield.
This makes the backpack a must-have in the spring.
Gladiator Sandals
It is time to put the combat boots away and replace them with sandals. To match the leather backpack, a similar colored gladiator sandal completes a chic outfit.
“I have this obsession with shoes so I’m always trying to wear different types all the time,” said Rene Chow, CSUB public relations student.
With this sandal, style is not compromised for comfort—best of both worlds. These brown leather MIA sandals are available at the newly opened Nordstrom Rack in Bakersfield for $40.
Sun Hat
Protection is essential to survive this valley heat, and what better way to protect yourself than with a stylish hat? Especially for the countless spring outdoor activities.
“A hat is a must to protect that beautiful skin of yours,” said Chriselle Lim, a YouTube fashion guru and stylist.
In this story, Kendyl Chavez, a CSUB junior communications student, is wearing a sun hat from Express available for $40.
Statement Sunglasses
“I get happy when spring comes around. It means that I get to wear my sunglasses longer,” said Carly Cristman, a YouTube fashion guru and model.
Sunglasses are also my favorite accessories when the sun beams brighter than ever. Not only do they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, they also act as the icing on the cake—except they are the sunglasses to your outfit. They’re even more fun when they have unique details to them.
