High school is a time of growing up. It is a time
of socialization. It is a time of declaring who you
are. All these and more are reflected on high school
fashion today. There are various looks that high school
students have. Here are some of them:
1) The Rocker – this high school fashion is very
popular among fans of rock bands. This may include
shirts that make statements or shirts featuring their
favorite band. This high school fashion also often
includes a lot of trinkets including studded bracelets,
a tribal necklace. Of course, taking on this high
school fashion needs the appropriate attitude to go
with it. You need to be truly passionate about the
music. It helps if you have an ipod with huge headphones
to go with the look. Other optional accessories include
a musical instrument used in rock such as a pair of
drumsticks or a guitar case.
2) The Jock – Just wearing the varsity team jacket
will transform any outfit into “jock mode”. Some people
who wear this fashion often try to hide their poor
fashion sense behind the huge letters and colors of
the high school. The jock look is easily accomplished
by trying out for a school team and actually earning
the right to wear a jacket. The school varsity chess
team does not count, though.
3) The Goth – Goth fashion can be defined using one
word: black. This high school fashion is often used
by people who wish to make statements of angst. Weird
looking accessories are a must, as is black eyeliner
and black lipstick. Although students who make use
of this fashion claim to do so to show their individuality,
it is more commonly caused by wanting to belong to
a group of people who want to show that they do not
belong.
4) The computer geek – in the past, geeks and nerds
were distinguished because of their not-so-cool-clothing.
The thing is, they are too busy with other projects
to be too much concerned with what they are wearing.
Today, though, having geeky clothing is not necessarily
such a bad thing. This is because of the fact that
geeks today are thriving because of computers. Even
role playing gamers have risen from the status of
suspected Satan worshippers to world class cyber athletes.
Isn’t that a big improvement? In order to achieve
the look of this high school fashion, you need to
really be preoccupied with solving the problems of
the universe to actually care about what you are wearing.
A shirt with a witty saying or technological jargon
would help complete this look for you.
5) The Fashionista – this is the hardest look to
maintain since it requires that you always be updated
on the latest high school fashions. You need to research
thoroughly on the subject of what’s hot and what’s
not. You need to constantly scout out malls in order
to be the first one to have the best outfit ever.
You need to have the instincts of Carson from “Queer
eye” in finding the perfect outfit. Your duty does
not end here. As a fashionista, you will have to establish
the highest standard of high school fashion.
Of course, these are just some of the high school
fashions in circulation today. In order to learn more,
just look around at your local high school.
