Here are a few tips for you that could change your entire look from basic to boujee. This is the most important tip I can give to anyone. Be you! Add some flare, while still being unique to your own style. Everyone is unique in their own way and your outfits should be too. Here are some of my favorite looks to spice it up for school!

STRIPES! Stripes are equivalent to what a white t-shirt was 10-12 fashion seasons ago. Pair a striped tube top, with boyfriend jeans, and black vans. You’ll be totally chic!

Embroidered EVERYTHING! Embroidery was a huge hit back in the 70s-80s. This embroidered style is now returning! Just a touch of embroidery can change your look completely around. Embroidered jeans, an oversized sweatshirt, and pumas, are the perfect way to make this outfit WERK!

Anders Pomeroy is a senior at Aspen High School and has been fascinated with the fashion world for quite some time. He is a part of the IB Art program and has started to develop his own fashion brand. Pomeroy believes jeans are an essential to his wardrobe and really define what he wears day-to-day. Like Pomeroy’s love of jeans, I paired this cute pair of wide leg jeans with a white t-shirt and some ankle boots. It’s a perfect way to make these wide leg jeans stand out! Wide leg jeans, a white top, and a pair of ankle boots are such cute ways to make these unique jeans trendy!

Creating your own style can take a lot of time. Use these looks to start out with and make them unique to you. Everyone deserves to look and feel cute, while keeping purchases affordable. Be comfortable in the skin you’re in and you’ll be a super star. Fashion is an art form that you can use to portray who you are.    

“It’s how a person expresses themselves. It’s wearable art.” Pomeroy said.

I hope these looks give you a picture of what you could look like in your school’s halls. Make sure to follow your school’s dress code, which I hope is not too ridiculous. Remember this important tip, stay true to who you are and who you want to be.
