Three words: “Casual, black, gray”

Wearing a layered black and white shirt, gray shorts, and Nike Air VaporMaxes, Colin describes his style as “not too trendy, but definitely stylish.

Katie has chosen a pink color scheme for her outfit, pairing a pale pink tied silk shirt with brighter pink pants. She has added a square double prong belt and forest green corduroy jacket. Katie says she “like[s] to touch on a lot of different kinds of styles. I like to switch things up everyday.” Picking her school outfits occur “really last minute.

Reilly Nesen

Three words: “Simple, stylish, cool.”

Places Danny shops at: Dickies, Goodwill, Sierra Trading Post

Pairing a graphic tee with black pants and Converse, Danny says his style revolves around “a lot of baggy fits, whatever feels comfortable to me.

With the transition to fall and cooler weather, Emma is wearing a multicolor striped sweater that she paired with leggings and Dr. Martens boots. She describes her style as “all over the place,” adding that “sometimes I like to wear really comfy sweaters and then other times I like to wear a bunch of jewelry and more nice things.” Emma always lays out her school outfits the night before because “I don’t have the energy to do it in the morning,” she says.
