Fashion Runway of Creekview High

Blurs of colors flash everywhere, shoes click on the tile, dresses swish, and the noise echoes off the walls. Are we on a high fashion runway? No, we are walking down the halls of Creekview High School.

The trends. The outfits. You name it, we have it. Throughout the years, Creekview students have expressed themselves in numerous ways, through their clothes and fashion sense. From shoes all the way up to sunglasses, each person has their own style, which shows others who we are and what we stand for. At Creekview, when we cannot speak, our clothes speak for us.

Sarah L., said, “My outfits reflect how I feel. You can tell my mood just by looking at what I wear.”

Creekview has seen an excess amount of different styles and fashion. Last year ended with Silly Bandz on almost every person’s wrist. The elastic bands in the shape of various animals and shapes were a high fad that, even though dying down now, is still popular.

Starting this year, gladiator sandals have been seen on many girls’ feet in every shape, color, and fashion. These, paired with sundresses and leggings, are styles present in the female population of our school.

The guys at Creekview seem more comfortable in shorts and t-shirts, wearing high socks with sandals. If they are not wearing t-shirts, then polo’s are also widespread, along with a variety of plaid shirts.

It seems as if our fashion has been traveling back in time, somewhat, too. Rarely can a student walk into a room without seeing a peace sign on a shirt, or dangling from a necklace. Tye-dye shirts, either homemade or store bought, are also trending. What about Wayfarer sunglasses, made famous by Tom Cruise in the early ‘80s? Those are definitely back, along with numerous amounts of ‘70s and ‘80s clothing.

When we came back from Summer Break, the halls are lined with spray-painted shirts, showing off best friends and the places they have been too. No matter where, or who you go with, spray-painted shirts are not only available, but very common and comfortable for those off days.

Twenty years from now, when our children look back on our past, they might laugh at our gladiator sandals, or be inspired by our fashion trends. Through our clothes, we express ourselves.
