When you checked to see if your p a t h w a s c I e a r you noticed his skate rags which consisted of a pair of neon pink high top tennis shoes, a white T-shirt that read Vision Street Ware in red and black, and his pants were faded jeans with holes.

Next you ran into a guy who had a completely different style. His hair was cut in a short non-traditional style, his shoes were the conservative Bass penny loafers, and his jeans were the popular brand Guess. The shirt he wore was a neatly pressed Polo.

It doesn't change who you are, it's just a piece of jewerly like a bracelet or a necklace, explained Weaver. Instead of being individualistic, other people liked to dress according to trends. Junior Antonia Plat said. People might say I'm preppy or trendy. If you like the trends--wear them. As you reached your locker you realized that like the others, you too were able to achieve a style that was all your own. 'By Jflmy Qfgonf qglrdbilfi Waliff ' to be 'trendy...I 1 like to' wear black.
