Fashion is constantly changing for both men and women. This year, Bay Port is becoming exposed to even more funky and odd trends.Last year, strange trends including Silly Bandz and Ugg or Emu boots were worn by most of the student body. Even today, the winter boots are still worn by many.
“Boots are warmer and just easier to wear in general,” says Sarah Hibbard, junior at Bay Port. “I think I own about eight pairs of different boots.” Sarah shops online for the majority of her boots and holds a weakness for the “cute ones you can just slip on.”
Cowboy boots are huge right now! After American Idol’s Lauren Alaina arrived on the show, women fell in love with her chic cowgirl style. Stores around Green Bay including Journeys, Payless, and the Buckle market the hot merchandise. But rather than selling plain cowboy boots, stores sell funky patterned pairs that may have spur straps dangling atop the foot.
“On the field, flow is an intimidation factor,” says senior Bj Ford. “I mean, when you're out there and you get matched up against a guy on offense or defense and he's got handfuls of hair coming out of the back of his helmet, you know you're in trouble”. For over a year now, high school athletes have been embracing the long hair look. “It's not only the hair though,” says Ford, “flow also means the kind of swagger a player has on and off the Lacrosse field.”
Besides looking intimidating on the field, having the flow creates an individual style for men. “If you're walking around the hallways just letting it all hang out, running your hands through it, and otherwise displaying that swagger, you've got flow” says Ford.
But for men whose flow is not as far along as Fords, its all about maintaining the look along the way. “I condition, shampoo, condition, and condition again,” says sophomore Tanner Laskowski. “The flow defines awesomeness,” says Laskowski, “I mean, Jesus had it and look where he is.”
Although most Bay Port students would agree that BJ Ford ultimately wins award for the best hairdo, Ford recognizes Travis Falk for the best flow around school. “The guy's got swagger,” says Ford about senior Travis Falk, “and if it wasn't for the fact that he had to get his hair cut for football, he'd be the best example of flow at Bay Port High School.”
“My sister and her friends got feather clip-ins last year in Oshkosh and when they came home from college they were so cute that I had to buy one!” says junior Bobbi Blau. But feathers are not only popular as hair accessories. More and more women have began to wear them as jewelry pieces including earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
“They’re inexpensive and fairly easy to use,” says Blau about the hair feather clip-ins. “You can also match them with any outfit.” Currently, Blau has five feather hair clip-ins including blue, green, brown, white, and black colored pieces.
But instead of selling clip-ins like Walmart and Claire’s do, Salons now have permanent feather clip’ins for hair so “you don’t need to worry about them falling out,” says Blau.
Lace is not new, but is beginning to be worn in new ways. More women are wearing lace while still embracing the floral look. Whether it is a floral dress with lace ruffles or a floral shirt with lace sleeves, girls go “gaga” for lace!
“Floral is really girly and goes good with anything,” says junior Morgan McKindles, “however, lace is girly as well and can dress up pretty much any outfit.” McKindles says that “girls who aren't that girly can wear lace and it can still match whatever style they’re going for.”
Both patterns are being worn by women constantly, whether it is to school or to work. However, lace seems to be consuming last year’s floral fetish. “Lace has a lot in common with floral idea,” says junior Abbey Frisinger, “really, lace and floral go hand in hand.”
“What isn’t special about Toms?” says junior Jordan Hyland. “They’re so comfy and cute!” Both men and women call the creator of the shoe a “genius.” “They’re super comfortable and are a stylish way to give to those in need,” says junior Autumn Andres who currently owns thee pairs. With every purchased pair, the organization (Tom) gives a pair to a child in need. The brand began selling online at Toms.com and at Zumiez.
“They’re like slippers but better,” says Hyland. “I’ve worn mine to homecoming and job interviews.” The versatile shoe matches basically everything. “Regular jeans or skinny jeans,” says Hyland, “they’re just amazing.”
As trends continue altering throughout the year, some odd styles will grasp onto high school students longer than others. During the first semester of last year, students went loco for Silly Bandz. Now, hardly anyone wears them. Whether fashions stick or leave will only be revealed in the future.
