Fashion to many people means wearing the perfect outfit to school. At Godinez, there are many different types of fashion trends that students don’t tend to realize. For example, the clothing that is trending right now is: mom jeans, the brand Pink, vintage clothes, off the shoulder tops, tube tops, and many more.
If you have any of these items you are most likely considered trendy by high school standards.
When you walk on to campus the first thing someone might notice is that almost everyone is wearing ripped jeans. Ripped jeans have been a trend since last year, and thanks to our flexible dress code we are able to wear them at Godinez. Jasmin Barajas, a senior, said: “I’ve noticed a lot of people wearing ripped jeans.” When asked about the fashion trends that she follows Barajas said, “I would say that I probably wear a lot of ripped jeans.” Ripped jeans have become a universal trend for both guys and girls, and a staple piece of everyone’s closet.
Students tend to take note of what it is they are wearing, so they can also wear something that is similar to that piece of clothing. Aline Hernandez, a junior, said, “Fashion to me is important because it expresses who I am as a person. I like to dress the way I feel that certain day and the way on how I want to express my mood.” Celia Jimenez said that she, too, takes fashion seriously. “I like to think of dressing up and choosing an outfit for school every day as a way to put myself out there as who I am. I don’t dress to impress others. I dress to impress myself and make myself look better.”
Another popular trend that is seen at Godinez, are tube tops. Many students tend to pair this with another popular trend, jean jackets. These two item pairs add a really nice effect to some plain jeans or a skirt, as seen throughout GFHS. When asked about the fashion trends she follows Celeste Larita, a senior, said: “Tube tops, I love tube tops, love I that trend.”
On the other hand, fashion can be hard for many students because they sometimes do not have certain pieces of clothing that are trending at the time. Students want to buy what’s in, just to be on the trendy side. Many of the trendy students at school like to dress as if it were a runway fashion show. They like to think of it as a competition and a way to better themselves.

I think it is eminent to be able to wear what you want to express yourself. I concur that a plethora of students do wear a lot of ripped jeans and tube tops. I think fashion and trends here at GFHS will continue on and grow. I as well agree with this article that fashion is a way to show and be comfortable in what you wear for yourself.

I like that students are able to express themselves in their own way.

I definitely concur with this article. Some people may believe that fashion is something mundane but I believe that it can be used as a way to express yourself. Everyone has an incongruous sense of fashion and it’s really cool seeing the variety of styles at GFHS.

As a student who has seen the fashion trends at GFHS, I can say the wearing of ripped jeans has been inexorable. Although it may seem inane to some people, fashion trends have the ability to grow rampantly and those who don’t like it will just have to tolerate it.

This article is great because it allows readers to perceive that fashion can be expressed at school. It talks about how vintage clothes, tube tops, and mom jeans are rampantly trending. Although we do have a dress code, wearing ripped jeans will have impunity.

The elegance of fashion has rampantly captivated the minds of high schoolers not only at Godinez Fundamental High School but all over the nation. Evidently shown, students diligently incorporate their characteristics as an individual with ethically trending clothing to expose themselves to their peers. Although individuality is expressed visually, students are influenced by one another as to what is trending in which is just the beginning of a worldwide phenomenon.

After reading this article, I feel like I can relate to some of the students. I’ve also noticed that ripped jeans have become a big trend here at GFHS. There isn’t a day when you don’t see students wearing ripped jeans. Overall, I believe that some students do take it as an adroit. This is a way to stipulate or to show how people feel in that day which I agree with as well.

This article taught me much about fashion. There is an abound of students who are using these high trends. Fashion is very eminent when it comes to your personality and appearance. How your appearance is at school can show a lot about someone’s personality and adds a tinge of who you are as a person. Every nuance applied to your outfit counts. Overall, this article taught me over the new high fashion trends and how sometimes people at school really take fashion seriously.

I find it interesting how everyone here at Godinez has their own different style in clothing, shoes, hair, etc. Most teenagers nowadays like to dress trendy for school and we have a great privilege of coming to school in the clothes we want, but also following the dress code, instead of wearing a uniform. When students wear a uniform they often feel uncreative and uninspired to be their own person and try new things. Even though we have impunity to wearing a uniform, we can learn to be creative and express ourselves with our chose of clothing. I believe that most of us attending Godinez understand that everyone is different and people express themselves different so we don’t belittle someone for not wearing something that is not ‘trending’.

`Its a good article, however, students shouldn’t acknowledge how they dress and as well should have there own style.

I really enjoyed reading the article and I like that it had pictures of students to go along with what the article was saying.

I like Yesenia’s jeans.

Awesome article !

All the students in these pictures have a specific kind of style which is good because we are all unique in our own ways. The different types of fashion in this school are unique.

Godinez has a reputation of following common trends and thats important in this day and age. By following common trends the students at the school feel a sort of respect and accommodation in a way. If the students were forced to dress like millennials the school would seem oppressed in a way. Its good that the writer for this article brought up a topic that seems to be almost ignored by everyone yet fashion and their own sense of style accommodates for who they are and reflects there personalities.

The first ones a dress code. I guess you should dress how you want to and dress for yourself not for others.

Dressing is a way to express yourself .
