Do the clothes someone wears make them who they are? Or does the person wearing the clothes give them a trendy feel? In the school that I go to everyone who can afford It wears American Eagle designer clothes. But if someone high on the social ladder wears high socks and short shorts, does his reputation take a hit or do the high socks represent a new trend? Schools are generally pretty faithful to the saying that “The nail that sticks out, gets hammered down”. When someone gets a new shirt that doesn’t fit the acceptable threads its a big deal. Although if the person has more followers than not the fashion oops evolves into a new trend. We as a culture have fallen into a groove that relies on others to set the tone of what we wear. Thats why I make a point to try to be different in my clothes. It may not be the most popular thing to do but I’d rather be different than be just another link in the chain.
