You may think that true fashion comes from those high end stores you watch celebrities walk in and out of. However if one simply just takes a look around they can see that fashion trends are everywhere, even at AHS.
BACKPACK TAGS: During AHS’s ASB elections one can always expect to be swayed to vote for a candidate that gives them candy. However there is one other item that works as a way to advertise the candidate. Recently students who are running, hand out tags that can be easily attached to peoples backpacks. An old election time tradition is candidates passing out stickers or buttons that would help get their name out there. Now, using an item that every single student has, they created backpack tags that can tie onto the bag. Freshman ASB president, Tricia Xu shared, “When it comes to campaigning, I've realized that backpack tags are a great way to get your name out there. The reason being that everyone owns some sort of backpack or bag they can tie a tag onto. This is just another way to campaign in a cute and creative way! “
HIGH SKIRTS: The short jean miniskirts were a trend to be reckoned with. Not until recently did the miniskirt get a run for its money, when the high skirts became trendy. The high skirt not only changed the look of skirts but also brought back the old trend of high-wasted clothing. Freshman Anum Ahmad likes the fact that high skirts “make your legs look longer.” This is kind of an out with the new and in with the old trend.
UGGS: One fashion accessory that seems to never go out of style is the UGG boot. These boots vary in style from the suede or knitted boot, to the moccasin style shoe. They even come in flip flops with a touch of fur on the strap or sole. They also come in numerous colors. Freshman Kaylee Alvarez shared her opinion when she explained that “UGGS always stay relevant since they are always making new kinds to appeal to different people. For example some people like the short boot compared to the tall ones. The reason why they are popular is because there is a wide variety to choose from.”
SHORT SHORTS: As you glance around the campus of AHS, especially when it is hot, many students are wearing shorts. However these shorts are not the long Bermuda shorts that were really popular years ago, they are short shorts. The short short allows for more of the leg to be visible and also cools the body down because it has less fabric. Sophomore Megan White explained that she liked, “shorter shorts because when it’s super hot outside, long shorts stick to you, while shorter shorts keep you cool. Shorter shorts all the way!” Another sophomore Taco Cortez mentioned that she preferred “short shorts better than long Bermuda shorts because it is more comfortable and more refreshing.”
LONG SHORTS: Opposite to the girl trend of shorts, guys tend to wear longer shorts. Junior Blake Luevano mentioned that he liked “wearing them [long shorts] because they make me feel free. Also it is an easy way to keep cool during those hot days. Finally, they come in so many great designs that I can never be out of style!”
T-SHIRT: The majority of the guys at AHS wear T-Shirts. Most of these T-shirts have some sort of logo or design on them typically based on currently popular themes. Sports logos such as football and baseball are popular designs often worn by the male population.
