High School Fashion Trends

If you walk though a high school, you will most likely see a lot of the same things anywhere you go. Lots of trends from the 80s and 90s are coming back in style today. Some of the most popular styles that are trending now include jean skirts, overalls, checkered pants, mom jeans, and turtle necks. All of these trends that have made a comeback look similar but all have their own twist to fit the styles of today.

In a high school, most types of jeans you’ll see all have a good amount of holes in them. Mom jeans tend to have lots of holes as well; they just aren’t as tight as normal jeans. One thing I see that is worn a lot with mom jeans are turtle necks. Personally, I like the turtle neck look just for something different. Now of course in high school you will have the people that don’t want to dress up as much so they may go with the mom jean and V-neck look or even a thrift look.

Another look for the lazier students of high school could be overalls. A lot of the overalls I see in schools are actually shorts, not the long jeans you would probably see in the 80s and 90s.

Majority of the time I see these paired with a tank top or a simple t-shirt. With fall coming up, I’m hoping to see more of the old fashioned, long overalls with a cute sweater underneath.

Another thing I love to see with sweaters are checkered pants. Also commonly matched with a simple crop top, checkered pants are a unique type of clothing. Even though they are all checkered, you have an infinite amount of different patterns that are still checkered. Along with that, you can find many different colors of checkered pants.

Just like checkered pants, there are abundant amounts of different styles of jean skirts. There are so many different colors, patterns and styles of jean skirts. Along with the different types of jean skirts comes the infinite amount of combinations for each style. Accessories also play a big part in the overall look of the outfit.

With every one of these trends seen in high school, everyone has a way to make it their own type of style. That is one of the many wonders of the fashion world. People take these trends and put their own spin on it to make it fit more to their personality and to their liking. High school is a wonderful place to observe fashion and what kids do with it.

Thrifting 101

Amongst teens, one of the first things you notice are what people are wearing. From booty shorts to skinny jeans, crop tops to oversized sweaters, chokers to scrunchies etcetera, it’s all about the trending look. Although most high school students decide to wear whatever ‘he’s’ or ‘she’s’ wearing, there are a select handful of people who try something new, while sticking to whatever is currently in. Thrift shopping has become progressively more popular over the years, but a lot of people don’t know how to efficiently ‘thrift’. As funny as it may seem, there are actually many tactics to this cheap-but-trendy shopping spree, and here are a few to help-

---You Control the Store, the Store Does Not Control You---

It can become very easy to get overwhelmed inside of a thrift store. Typically, things are strewn in random places, it can look very messy and unorganized in the racks, ---Keep Your Eyes Pealed--- and it can be difficult trying to find a specific thing. Don’t

It just gets easier and easier each time unlock the deals. (ex- ‘All green you go! tags 50% off!)

---Speed-Shopping---

Speed-shopping saves so much more time than regular shopping, ONLY if you are on a small budget. What is is speed-shopping, you might ask? It consists of brushing through each rack at top speed, narrowing down your options to the cheapest things. If you aren’t trying to save money, speed-shopping won’t be necessary for you, so feel free to take your time. But if you’re like me, a thrift shopaholic, you will want to get the best deals first. Another reason why speed-shopping is important is that a lot of thrift stores have a specific day in the week where they have the most sales, and people like getting there early to grab the good stuff. If you brush through the racks fairly quickly, picking and choos- time trying to figure out what the best deals are. ing from the specific %’s off you find, you will save so much

Colors

here are many ways colors mix and match to create beautiful patterns and designs. Primary colors, also known as the Superman colors, are red blue and yellow. Secondary colors are violet (purple) orange and green. When primary and secondary colors are mixed together they create tertiary colors, like yellow green, turquoise blue, magenta, and red orange.

Sir Isaac Newton invented the color wheel, but Johann Wolfgang Goethe elaborated on it so that we could have a better understanding of various color schemes. Complimentary colors are colors directly across from each other on the color wheel. Such as green and red, purple and yellow, or blue and orange. These are striking colors and should be used carefully, because of the high contrast effect. My favorite, monochromatic colors are a single color in a range of hues you get from a single color. More simply from dark to light of one color.

For the year 2018, new trendy color combinations are seen everywhere.
