Fashion Dont’s: A Guide to Community College Fashion for 2014

When you look good you feel good. When you look better you feel better. No matter how many catchy phrases you come up with, when you begin your day with good fashion you have an all around good day.

Fashion is no doubt subjective. What looks good to me may be crap to you. Fair enough. However, just following basic fashion rules can make your comfort and self-esteem soar.

The Skyline campus is full of fashion dos and don’ts. There are so many basic fashion rules that I will say, for starters, that I have seen yellow rubber ducky pajamas with fake Ugg boots, or Fuggs as I affectionately call them. I hate fakes because they scream how cheap you are and yet you want to fool someone that you have some type of fashion sense. Liar. There is an urgent need for basic fashion advice. I want you to look good and feel good. You’re welcome.

Understood, fashion sense comes from various sources. There are people who get their fashion sense from current trends. There are those that stick to classics. There are those who dress like their favorite celebrity or rock
idol. Then there are those who just don’t give a boot.

I would beg those who wear pajama pants and Fuggs to please, please, please stop wearing that outfit, no matter how late you wake up, no matter how much sleep you had, no matter how badly you need to do laundry. I am being nice even referring to that abomination as an outfit. Spend some time at the beginning of the week, plan some outfits and by all means stick to them. To resist temptation, get rid of those yellow duckies. Now.

Who the Tom Ford knockoff is buying Fuggs anyway? What lies does she tell herself to take a poorly constructed replica that scuffs with the slightest bump, the sole unevenly wears down, and the label on the back has some jacked up name, or misspelled variation of the real deal. Dirt clings to those dreadful things like metal to
a magnet. Absolutely shameful. To make it worse, Fuggs look like matted, depressed sheep when worn in the rain. Put them out of their misery.

Know that even the most fashion retarded person can assemble clothing pieces in their wardrobe to come up with a daily look that gets them through the day with comfort and a smile. Wear a basic tee, throw on a pair of jeans,
and slip on some leather loafers and you will feel better about people looking at you as you skip up the stairs from the quad to your class in building eight. Yes, people look. I look. You can be a fashion do or don’t. It’s your choice.
