Winter began in December, and, it's cold outside! In the 2008-2009 winters season 86 students that attend Osborne High School were surveyed and questioned about how they deal with the dichotomy between warm winter wear and their personal fashion. Is winter a minor set back on fashion? Student’s opinions show how you can be fashionable in any way. Many of their opinions were based upon how you could be both warm and fashionable at the same time in the winter. Students were asked, is it harder to dress fashionable in the winter or summer? From the opinions based on the students at Osborne 18 out of 23 students feel that it’s harder to dress in the winter then the summer. During the summer time there are less clothing needed which makes your apparel more comfortable, when in the winter time you have to have bundles of clothing just to keep warm and try to look fashionable. Most students often say that dressing fashionable in the winter is not a need; it is a time to get warm while in the summer you can dress both fashionable and still be comfortable.
While you may be tempted to throw a big huge ugly jacket on before walking outside, remember you can look fashionable while staying warm. Also before you start slipping into large, heavy layers, create the right proportions with your winter gear. Accessories such as: Scarves, hats, snow boots, leg warmers and mittens are things students at Osborne suggest you could wear to look fashionable as well as staying warm. Top Fashion and Aeropostle are clothing stores that sell many different types of winter fashions for both male and females. Top Fashion and Aeropostle seem to be the most fashionable clothing store in the winter time. 21 students were surveyed and asked which store has better winter clothes between Aeropostle and Top Fashion. 19 out of 21 students say that Aeropostle is the better store to shop at. It has plenty of winter fashion clothes such as: stylish thermals and hoodies that are inexpensive which is a great asset to your style in the winter. Top Fashion on the other hand only has thin unattractive jackets that are more expensive and less fashionable. At times we put aside being warm just to look a certain way which may not be the best decision but we still proceed to do it. Therefore, you should search for many fashionable stores that will help you accomplish the many different styles you’re going for. Although it may not seem like it, but fashion is a big part to our lives no matter what season comes up. Even though we want to be warm we still want to be fashionable. That’s why more students voted that they can be both warm and fashionable at the same time. - Volume I, Issue 2 -
