Technically fraternity means Greek houses with male members. But fraternity usually refers to the Greek life and can mean both boys and girls. In this article, we discuss the fraternity apparel trends that pertain to both males and females members of the Greek life societies or organizations. Usually the trends for both male and female members overlap to some degree.
Foil Graphic Designs
Foil graphic prints are popular for both male and female Greek life members. One popular trend is golden foil on black t-shirts. It looks good on both boys and girls. It is easy to wear black and golden fraternity apparels with jeans, white bottoms, and black pants of varying styles. The foil designs can also be seen on colors such as gray, pink, and white.
White on Black
Another popular current trend for fraternity apparel is white print on black and other dark hued t-shirts. From Greek letters to simple prints; you can find white on a variety of fraternity apparel. White has always been popular when it comes to fraternity clothing. It is also unlikely to ever out of style any time soon. Just the mention of Greek letters in white on a canvas of black, ink blue, or even red just works beautifully whether it is a short-sleeved top or a hoodie.
Bold Colors
Bold and bright colors are a hit with sorority members especially for social events. The current trends gravitate towards reds (bordering on tangerine), cobalt blue, fuchsia, turquoise, and yellow. The colors are a hit for shorts and dresses. These bold colors often find their way to male members as well – at times as shorts; others as shirts. But with girls, you cannot go wrong with these vibrant colors for social events or even casual tees. With men, it is always a risk when it comes to colors on pants or cotton shorts. It can just as go quickly out of style even if it suddenly comes in fashion one season.
Color bursts on t-shirts are also gaining ground fast. A white t-shirt with letters or a print can have pink in the background. It can have colorful flowers with some sort of Greek letters. The color bursts on a black background such as pink or green work wonderfully to enhance the simple designs that have always been the popular choice when it comes to fraternity apparel.
The Always-in White
White and other soft hues like peach, pale pink, and beige are big for sorority recruitment events. New students vying for memberships to their favorite Greek houses are usually required to dress up in soft hues. Well, this is not a given as the recruitment dress codes can differ from house to house. But these lighter hues have always been a big part of sorority events. For many social events, sorority members are required to dress up in formal dresses in neutrals.
White tees for both boys and girls are also always popular. Just the Greek letters in black on a simple white tee is never going to go out of style when it comes to fraternity apparel.
Graphic T-shirts
Graphic prints are always in trend for fraternity apparel. The designs can be simple statements to prints such as fruits, mountains, forests, animals, and the moon. The scenes of nature and landscape showing treks and trails with Greek letters are also currently quite popular.
When it comes to fraternity apparel, the graphics always tend to be on the subtle side. The prints or designs almost always remain somewhat in the background but still clear enough to be impactful. The Greek letters can be written in different styles as a background on graphics or below the design itself. Some companies also produce t-shirts with witty slogans representing sorority events or the Greek life. These t-shirts are especially trendy for recruitment events or casual parties.
T-shirts with the sorority names, the founding years, the logo, or the motto continue to rule the sorority fashion trends. Such t-shirts are always in demand for everyday wear to casual fraternity parties. You can buy such designs in any color and these will continue to look trendy even after many years to come.
