Baggy sweatshirts, faded Levis and comfy shoes were often seen throughout the halls. When thinking about how to be comfortable, stu- dents often found the solution was the oldest pair of jeans they pos- sessed and that they could possibly get their bodies in. “Old jeans are way more com- fortable than new jeans because they ve already been broken in, se- nior Donna Kislingbury said. ۷ always fit the way they re supposed to fit. Along with old age, students felt that ripped jeans were stylish and gave a feeling of comfort as well. Ripped jeans are comfortable and they look good when it's natural, but when people try and rip their jeans on purpose it looks really stu- pid, sophomore Devon Alexander said. However, some students felt that to be comfortable, clothes didn't necessarily have to be old.

That's always comfortable and it looks good as well, freshman Beth Muller said. Many students found that dur- ing the cold lowa winters, warm jackets were definitely necessary.

They're also very warm and you can wear them anywhere. ` seeing girls in men’s under- wear was also a common occur- rence. Boxer shorts appeared ev- erywhere from the basketball court to the classroom. While guys wore them for their original purpose, girls found them a comfortable alterna- tive to casual shorts. Boxer shorts are really cool because they re so comfortable. | have sort of a collection of them; ev- erything from different universities to different holidays, senior Pam Westvold said. 'My mom thinks it's gross when girls wear them be- cause they sag. Comedian Billy Crystal might say, It's better to look good than to feel good.’ However, the majority of Students found that they could look good as well as feel good by wearing clothes that were comfortable. Many guys would rather sleep than worry about what to wear. Senior Mike Brown wears whatever is on the top of the pile when he gets up in the morning.
