Do you ever wonder if you’re in style or not? Below is a fool-proof way of making sure you have the necessary items to be the envy of all at Fresno City College.
Do
lbuy skinny jeans. The other term for them would be slim-fit pants have a snug fit through the legs and end in a small leg opening. Jeans may be cut in this style, and then are often called skinny jeans. Other names for this style include carrot leg pants’ cigarette pants, drainpipes, peg leg pants, pencil pants, skinny pants, slim Jims, tapered pants, old-school hood jeans or ice-cream cone pants. More recently, the term freaks has come along, this is a case of positive discrimination, meaning they are ‘cool’. Rapper Plies in the song “wasted” states he does not wear skinny jeans, but the rapper known as Lil Wayne loves to rock the latest trend skinny jean. Skinny jeans are priced between $12 and $200, depending on the brand name and the store.
lhats. For guys, fitted hats by A’s, NYC, LA, Boston are in style. For ladies, the in thing is trucker hats in plaid or different colors and styles; just try and find the one that fits you. The up side about hats is they keep you a little bit cooler when the sun is hot. You can find these hats at a store called Lids.
lhop on the sandals. Sliders/Gladiators are the trend for the ladies. They are sandals with different types of straps; you can find them at the local mall or Grand Fashion on Blackstone down the street from FCC. The sliders are quite popular at FCC; almost every woman is wearing the sliders with their outfits.
Shirts
lGuys cannot go wrong with a plaid shirt in any color, a coke white T-shirt or a plain black one.
lLadies, try an A-line shirt, or a plaid shirt, or a cardigan. Everyone is wearing plaid shirts; it’s the in thing right now.
DON’T
lwear high waters. Who wants to wear pants a little bit too small or above the ankles? Shorts that are too short are not cute; you might think you look cute, but it looks trashy. Save them for the beach please.
lsqueeze into jeans that are too tight on guys or girls; it shows everything.
lwear too many colors at once; it makes you look like a clown.
lwear uncomfortable shoes unless they’re really, really cute. If they are uncomfortable, then you can’t really walk in them. So what’s the point of wearing them?
lthe whole see-through thing.
lwear a jogging suit if you’re not jogging; it’s tacky.
lwear skimpy dresses unless you’re sure that you look good in it; be absolutely sure!
lwear big, bulky clothes; it hides your figure and adds extra pounds to your image.
lcarry more than two bags at once, and don’t over stuffing them.
lwear fishnet stockings and think it is cute unless it is Halloween.
lwear thong sandals with socks because sandals are made to show off your toes.
One last tip: DO check yourself at the mirror before you leave home; when in doubt, ask a friend you trust if you are in style.
