“Before I switched my style, I was basically wearing the same clothing that every other girl in the school was wearing. When I started thrift shopping, I started to change up my style due to the clothing being very different in a unique way,” said Newman.

Nike, American Eagle, and Hollister’s are among the most popular between boys. Senior Trevor Turner upgraded himself to be above and beyond than the teenage boys.

For every shirt, pants, and shoe, it sums up the identity of a person. Senior Emily Putthoff never let anyone get in her way of trying to be herself.

“I think my style represents my personality because I don’t try to dress a certain way. I wear what I like and I don’t like to be influenced by what other people think about what I wear. I just like to do my own thing,” said Putthoff.
