Celebrity fashions move into USU student’s wardrobes.
With celebrities dressing more and more scandalously every year, there is little wonder about what students are wearing.
While students at Utah State University believe fashion is important, there is a huge emphasis on the function of an outfit vs. the form of it.
“You wouldn’t catch me wearing a tank top in the middle of winter just so I could look good,” said student Guy Banner.
Various students at USU favor their own style over filtering any of the celebrities’ styles.
Individuality is a huge factor in deciding what a person may or may not put on, even if it means wearing the same thing a celebrity already has.
“I find what stars wear to be uncomfortable and impractical. I don’t think 5-inch heels are very comfortable, nor do I see short skirts in the middle of winter working too well,” said Hayley Olsen, a student. “I also think clothes that cost more than $50 for the whole outfit is just too much for anyone to pay, let alone a poor college student like myself.”
There are places that exude a high sense of fashion – the runways of Paris, the streets of Los Angeles and New York City.
Paris and Milan have fashion shows at the beginning of every season displaying trend-setting styles that sometimes make it into students’ closets.
These fashion shows are a chance for designers to let their creations come to life with the work of models from around the world.
But many students at USU still feel the majority of celebrities and public figures are wearing too little – like Britney Spears or Cher, said student Kirt Hunter.
The overall generalization is to wear what you want and be happy with who you are by wearing what you want. Most of all, don’t apologize for any fashion “mishaps,” Banner said.
“The purpose of clothes is to keep us warm and to express our true identity. Do we need a brand name to do that?” Olsen said. “Wear stuff that is unique to you, that shows your unique inner self. Let your clothing be your canvass for the painting collage of your spirit.”
