Ok. Fashion of middle schoolers.
The popular group:
Boys: Basketball shorts, Seattle skyline socks, sandals, and either a Nike T-shirt or a North Cascade rain coat.
How did shorts with socks and sandals become a fashion trend? It may be one of the ugliest things in the world.
Also: Bedazzled jeans - and I mean BEDAZZLED, some offensive shirt that they don't get dress-coded for and their white shoes that they don't expect to get dirty at school.
There is only one guy at our school with a good fashion sense, so everyone thinks that he's gay, when he is not. Why would wearing a cardigan and a button up shirt make a guy gay? Really don't like that.
Girls: Sweat pants or, more commonly, yoga pants and leggings, Ugg boots or slippers, a hoody or soccer sweatshirt, and a "messy" bun on lazy days.
Otherwise: tight shirt, huge thick belt, SHORT skirt that they pull up when teachers aren't looking.
It sounds like I pay way too much attention to crap like this, but I can just picture people really well in my head.
I don't understand how you can walk out of the house, other than to get your mail on a lazy morning, in your pajamas.
Onto the goth kids:
Boys: who knows what.
Girls: Band T-shirts, black, purple, and red, gauges, sleeves to hide their cutting, and corseted dresses. Sometimes they don't look that bad.
We have a lot more groups, but they don't have their own fashion style.
In my group, we all dress very differently.
Three of us dress in a toned down version of the popular girls with more of a modest look.
One of us dresses in leggings and a T-shirt basically every day. She is the gymnast one.
One of us dresses in band - related clothing and has a touch of steam punk and classic.
I dress in vintage. I LOVE 50's/40's fashion. I wear high-waisted skirts with a button up shirt, but give it a modern twist.
Black skirt with a blue and green flannel shirt with rolled up sleeves = one of my favorite outfits.
Anyway, that might seem boring to some of you, but fashion is how people place themselves into groups. It is how they can identify with people.
