For some high school students, choosing what to wear to school is as complicated as learning to speak a foreign language. By what social media displays, the world of fashion can seem like a strange and diversely complex place, with millions, billions of options and unknown rules. Inspired by “What High Schoolers are Wearing”, the popular YouTube trend, this feature explores what high schoolers wear in real life, opposed to only what the media presents.

Every student has a diverse taste in fashion: Tate Miller describes her style as band shirts and Doc Martens, while Damon Siefer would say he has more of a professional taste, meanwhile Keymani Thomas leans towards the sporty side, Joseph Blea tries to go for unique looks, and Julissa Hernandez opts for a simple, cute look.
