While some students might opt for a pair of sweats and throw on something simple for the day, others have a passion for fashion, using their clothes as a way not only to express themselves freely, also to feel good and feel confident. Among them is junior Uttara Das, who derives her unique outlook on high school fashion through the internet, which serves as her source of inspiration for outfits that are both trendy and distinctive. “I follow many social platforms and YouTube channels that influence my taste in clothing and fashion because I think they have great ideas,” Das said.
