As the weather cools down, students show off their winter styles and share what fashion means to them.
“My style is basically everything. I like whatever I see that’s cute at the store and whatever is in trend. I don’t have one set style. I like dressing up, but it’s definitely not something I’d do every day. I show my character in how I dress, as do a lot of people. For me, I wear a lot of baggy clothes and mellow colors. That show’s how I am,” said junior Natalia Lembo, featured above. Photo by Grant Asner
“My style is a bunch of random colors splattered on. Sometimes it’s also more pale colors. Sometimes I wear accessories. (My style) really expresses who I am. I’m a really expressive person. I think a bunch of colors bring that out. I love to wear corsets. They’re really fancy and I love the lace on them,” freshman Jenny Marquez said.
“I’m really into earth tones. My style is kind of, like, old white people's clothing. I have to put on more layers in the winter. It’s more complicated. (My style) helps make me feel more comfortable with my body. It helps me like myself more,” senior Joseph Botti said.
“My style is a combination of aesthetics I see on Pinterest with a ton of sweaters because I love sweaters. The winter changes my style in a good way because I have a lot more choices to go with because I have more sweaters and more jackets. So it's easier for me in the winter than in the summer. Dressing up is a positive way for me to express what I like,” sophomore Isaac Herrera said.
“My style is very pastel with lots of flowers. I like lots of little flowers all over and I usually like to match colors with other colors. In the winter, I wear more layers. I wear all the same dresses but with long sleeves underneath those dresses but usually with tights and boots. I love dressing up and I love wearing clothes that make me look nice whether It’s fancy or casual looking because it's just a way to express myself. My clothes show off that I am a bubbly person,” senior Jessie Witt said.
“Artists have their canvas and I feel like to me, my canvas is my body, so I get to put my art on my body and dress up however I want. So I guess it's a way of self-expression. I guess I’m trying to go for a classy but comfy look. I like a lot of neutrals so I feel like fall fashion is really just my staple for the whole year, like lots of brown, burgundy and oranges. My favorite piece of clothing, that’s so hard, but I might have to go for turtlenecks. They’re just nice fitting and I like how it looks on me,” sophomore Genesis Cuellar said.
