Fashion is a fickle creature, it changes and is affected by so many factors that a fad can last just a few weeks only to be replaced by another. Look through the many styles that we have seen through the years and you will see a pace of change that is both furious and eccentric. In recent memory, we have come from shoulder pads to metal chains to lighted shirts to throwback fashion in a spin cycle of trends.
High school is such a formative part of our lives. We find ourselves and develop our look as we go through the awkward phase of puberty. We grow out of cartoon character shirts and develop our aesthetic foundations here.
There are many opportunities that this phase offers us in terms of dressing up. From spring formals to graduation, how we remember high school is a string of memorable social functions. We sometimes thumb through the photos of ourselves back then and laugh at how “hideous” we looked in the dresses that did not drape our gangling bodies well. But in those pictures of over dressed versions of our selves, we will see hints of our fashion choices now.
If there is one big event that we dressed to the hilt for, it was our prom night. Today, the in thing is to have short prom dresses. Because we live in a much more liberal time, we see that the dresses that are worn in these functions have used less and less material. Getting the best prom dress can be definitive of your high school life.
Another social event that happens in our school is the homecoming party. We pick out prom dresses for that very special night. A night to look back at our past and meet the new and improved versions of our peers.
These are just two of the highly aesthetic events that we attend and show two very distinct versions of ourselves. Fashion plays a large role in our lives because it is the visual representation of our taste. Many people may say that the focus we put on aesthetic is shallow and unimportant, but we know better. Though what we wear does not define us, it tells people of who we are.
