RU female students do have some favorites for the first spring of the millennium. You can expect to see, besides lots of Greek letters, many girls wearing their most comfortable outfits. They say that tight is out and loose-fit shorts are in. Anything digging into the waist and causing major wedgies is definitely out.

RU females prefer canvas drawstring khakis, terry skirts, loose carpenter shorts, linen drawstring pants (specifically J-Crew) and those ever-popular cargo shorts. Shirtwise, you don't have to worry about emptying your wallet because girls say they will be wearing lots of classic and v-neck tees of all colors. Also, another popular shirts for college girls are the three-quarter length shirts and polo shirts, which became popular last year.

Just so the guys don't miss out on the fun, girls said they would most definitely own a reversible tube top. For some reason, guys love it when girls wear tank tops. They're in for a treat because this spring, most tank tops have a scoop neck. For those of you who don't know what that is, a scoop neck is basically a regular tank with a lower neck and may send guys' eyeballs searching for more. The most mentioned bathing suit was the tank bikini. Sorry guys, this one doesn't reveal much. All of these things could be found last year in stores; the only difference is that girls say they will be wearing more pastels this year.

On the other hand, guys at RU are not as specific when asked about spring fashions. They don't seem to care as much as girls when it comes to clothing.

Basically, RU males are going to be wearing underwear (thank heavens), a t-shirt (from anywhere) and a pair of shorts that fit. After some research, I found out that they are absolutely right: men's fashions this spring are very casual. The most popular pieces of apparel are cargo khakis, Hawaiian shirts, t- shirts (AE or Abercrombie were recommended often) and polo shirts. For accessories, guys simply are going to wear the original baseball caps. Their feet will mostly be covered by Tevas, Birkenstocks or tennis shoes. It won't take much effort for a guy to look fashionable this spring. RU males will be simple and comfortable, while still looking good.

Styles have not changed much here at Radford, or on any other campus for that matter. However, students did have some opinions for spring fashion no-no's:
