Owning clothing is a necessity for every person. Whether it’s Prada or plastic bags, everybody wears something to cover up their exposed flesh. Many students express themselves freely and in many different ways. Throughout this school, many different fashion styles are brought to life by the students. From mane-like hair that glows in the sun to sporting team jerseys to show off school spirit; fellow peers reflect their personalities through their clothing. Amidst all the different fashion senses, certain stereotypes have begun to arise. What you wear makes an actual impact on what social class you fall under, especially in high school.
Certain stereotypes have been in circulation for a while. Such as the stereotypical ‘jock’. Senior, Chris Karchella is seen sporting his Buckaroo football jersey. When asked what fashion stereotype he believed was categorized as, Karchella said, “I sort of just put on whatever I think looks good, and go with it.” When he isn’t sporting his football jersey, Karchella is a frequent user of Nike and Under Armour products.
Many students choose to break the status quo by wearing more unique and creative outfits. Seniors Cassie Searle and Skylar Yost are seen around school wearing clothes and doing things that express them as individuals. Searle is commonly known for her poofy flowing hair.
When asked about how her hair gains its voluminous and thick effect, Searle simply replied, “I don’t know. I just wash and condition it, and it gets big like this. A lot of people say my hair looks like a lion’s mane.”
Skylar Yost is a senior who can always be seen sporting and up-to-date with the current thriving fashion. Yost gets much of her inspiration from Audrey Hepburn. “Pinterest is my life-saver, and I can always find inspiration and something cute there. If I am not looking cute, then I’m not succeeding,” Yost said.
