At Branford High School, everyone seems to have their own unique outlooks on many different aspects, whether it be politics or favorite teams. This is also true in the aspect of trends; students tend to follow similar trends but put their own twist on them. Last year, the Buzz featured students who had outfits that stood out on Instagram, which is the inspiration for this article. I went around BHS looking for fellow students that I felt captured some of the trends we have been seeing so far this fall.
While waiting before class on the Senior balcony, I noticed Ashley Roding’s ensemble. At the time that this photo was taken, it was beginning to transition from summer to fall. Her outfit stood out to me as a great look for the transitional portion of the season. Her sweater had a the traditional comfy sweater neckline, however, the twist to this was the fact her sweater was sleeveless. Unfortunately, Ashley’s shoes were not in the picture, but they were combat boots that matched her maroon sweater. Both the color maroon and combat boots have made their way into various closets at BHS. While combat boots have been on the scene for awhile, the color maroon has been popping up more this season.
I was in my Precalculus class when I noticed Rebecca Criscuolo’s outfit. She described it to me as her “I just threw this on in the morning” look. Despite quickly “throwing it on,” Rebecca still managed to capture what seems the be one of the ideal fall looks at Branford High School. The pairing of the white sweater and light wash blue jeans definitely made for a color choice; it gave a lighter look as opposed to the darker tones one tends to see in the fall. Of course, she completed the outfit with a fall classic: boots.
