Being in college is no different than being in high school with the trends that come and go. From boots to tights and leggings, it will never go away. Why are we such label whores in such a terrible way? Okay, I have to admit, I enjoy the top labels and quality, but are these essential to my personal style? Not exactly.
From every sorority girl with their uniform of Coach bag or clutch, Ugg Australia boots paired with black leggings, why are labels such as these "trendy" among groups. Having Coach doesn't set these girls apart from any other girl. Besides, I'll own up to my own wallet that has the monogram stitched right in. I love nice things, but I think many seriously purchase or have daddy purchase to create the feeling of belonging to a group. That is why we shopped at Hollister Co. in middle and high school, right? Right?
Let me add something else to this subject. I'm at a bar and there were guys getting the labels of the underwear other guys wore. Oh, the mighty snobby gays. They were dismayed when one did not wear a label that matched Emporio Armani. I'll take my H&M underwear, thank you. People like this are often confused with what is fashionable. The labels don't make you look good, the way you put it all together does. They can take their jeans that were too tight and continue dressing in the dark. People struggle with a sense of how to put items together and to make clothes a fashionable look. Everyone doesn't have to dress alike and I do urge everyone to put their own personality in their clothes, but the way you dress really can define who you are and what your personality is like.
Have fun and enjoy clothes. Express yourself. Labels aren't everything. Show a sign of confidence in whatever you wear.
