So what's the haps in your school? Whats popular and what's not? What type/brands of clothes do most of your classmates wear? Is there a saying spreading like wildfire in school? Hook me up people. I want to be the next person to start a trend. :lol:

In my school most of the guys(and me) where big black t-shirts/jerseys with baggy jeans. The girls tend to where skirts with a sweater or mimic what the boys are wearing. Music hits everyone in my school. Rap being up there with hip hop and far east music. People tend to have short hair and have somekind of jewlery around their necks or wrists. Hats are worn by the guys and some girls. The hat can't be bent and must still retain the sticker size on the cap.

Anyways, that's what I've noticed in my school. What happens in your school?

[Sea of Time]

You know Roots kind of came and went a couple years ago and now everyone's wearing G-Unit stuff. Pants, shirts, and weird belts with spinners on them. Anubis would love our school, for sure.

[Zxor]

Well, I have uniform so..everyone wears either maroon or white T-shirts, polo, with the symbol on it. junior High gets to also wear black shirts. all junior high wears belt, shirts tucked in, except the girls. The girls skirts have to be only 2 inches above the nees...and we can not have spiners or bling belts, only normal belts...so Anubis would hate our school, lol.:lol:

[Blue]

Umm, since I'm in college, there is no real "trend"

[Eugine]

Like Zxor, I go a school which wears uniforms so no trend really but for some strange reason we all have Jansport bags.

[I'm Always BROKE]

We just walk in common casual clothes. Replay and Diesel are in and everybody has Eastpack backbags. As for the girls, no skirt is too short really so my school is not that bad I think. :lol:

[Someone Else]

The girls kind of have this trend where they tie the shirt in the back so it's a little tighter on their torso, and wear another, smaller open-blouse shirt over that shirt, mainly covers the bust so it looks sorta like a bikini top.

So they wear the shirts like this:

1) One shirt tied in the back to make it tighter, usually black.
2) Another small open-blouse shirt, usually white.

The guys don't seem to have any trend in particular. Alot of them wear street-gangster stuff, but their are plenty who don't.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Daym I wish the girls at my school would wear clothes like that. o.o
I even would like school then I think. :lol:
...
Ehhh well no school just still plain sucks. *has got an bad grade again today*

[Sea of Time]

It's snowing today. *huddles and cries* Ecko hoodies are back at our school.

[Nickelback]

We have uniforms at our school,and if you got caught not wearing school shoes without a pass you get an instant 45 min detention after school.
Only 'trend' would be hiding headphones under scarfs, hair, sleeve etc.

[MysticWarrior]

I don't think there's been a real trend ever since the 1990s. Not at my school, anyways.

[theblueflames]

Ah, the days when everyone had dirty long hair and listened to Nirvana and such. Nah, I feel left out everywhere. Basically everyone else is like Echo's school. Then you have me, wearing Wollyworld jeans and a blank orange T-shirt. Fun. :lol:

Heh, I'm lucky. All the girls at my school are cute, hardly any are ugly. If they're not cute, they're just normal. :D This is all in my eyes, anyway. Someone else might think the girls aren't extremely cute.

Nah, since they're wearing two shirts it's not revealing, just a little tight.

[Zxor]

Tight is not bad...not bad...
And since I only have 1 class for my grade, (I am in a small private school), they are butt ugly and fat, some are fat, but there isn't one in good shape. *cries*

[Luna]

We wear a uniform too so, again, no trends really o.o; They're more of..accessory trends. Example: Most preppy girls use Kipling bags.

Or now, eveyrone's using these bags that go on the side instead of BACKpacks D:

Guys once used really low pants. You could see half of their boxers sometimes >_>; Oh and, they all want to have long hair but, the school doesn't allow it so, they wear PONY TAILS. 98% of the guys look awful with them though XD.

And girls always have some kind of trend with hair accessories. They change ever two months or so.

Hah, some people at my school have those too. XD Most still use backpacks, however. In Jr. High, it was all about the backpacks with the wheels like they use at airports, but I always considered those who used them as weaklings. ^_^

[Luna]

All of the Elementary School kids have those xD; They stop around 6th grade though. And for those who continue, everyone's like "wtf, grow up o.O"

[MysticWarrior]

I had wheeling backpacks for 2 years in elementary :B

[Zxor]

I used to have wheely backbacks, they used to be the "thing" but not anymore, people still use them though.

[Andross]

Everything known to mankind is in our school. No, serously. There's 3000 friggin' people in the building! Anything that is popular, whether massive or minor, exists. Even WoW niches.

[Sea of Time]

Wow, I thought my school was big. We have 1200 people in our school throughout three grades. 3000! That must be crowded.

[Nick Presta]

you know how it is in toronto; straight up g.

nike air forces, nike SBs, some nikes/jordans with sean john, rocawear, phat farm, enyce with a polo/long tee plus fitted hat.

you knowwwwww.

[Izar]

A trend our school enforeces is a clean shave, tucked in shirt, belt, and short hair for the guys, and for girls, well, girls don't have too much of a dress code.

I say: Forget the clean shave! Beards all the way! ^_^

Not when the school is almost two football fields in size and the campus is a few square miles o=o

Trends are for people who want to fit in, and are insecure about their appearance so they copy what the mass does.
</philosophical>

Most just wear skate/surf clothese like Rusty, Billabong, Quicksilver etc. Hair is different for everyone. A few have long, most have short though.

The 'mass' is into whatever is on the radio because their all sheep who are dependent on it for their music.

[MysticWarrior]

Being independent is overrated.

I belong to a "group," and while I know too much about pop-culture for my own good *roffle* I HARDLY practice/follow the trend. That's why I wear shirts like "I'M NOT A GEEK! I'm a level 12 paladin." And "Social Engineering Specialist / Because there is no patch for human stupidity."

^_^

[Someone Else]

I don't really follow trends, nor am I an outsider. I just do what I want, but I don't get picked on for being "out of style." ^_^

[Sea of Time]

Me too, I fit just in a niche in between outsiders and the "in" group.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Well I just try to follow the trends a little. When tight pants aren't in I wouldn't buy them as excample.

All public schools in Melbourne in a nutshell.

[ForteGX]

School has robbed us of any individuality. I've got the same dress code as Izar, cept they're extremely leniant with the hair. I actually don't mind it, though, cause that way you never have to feel self conscious cause everyone's dressed in the same exact way. The majority uses backpacks, but some use those book bags that Sheba was talking about (I want one! i.i), and most of them have long hair and beards.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Well anyway in our school everybody walks with iPods and MP3 players so I guess it's a little trend here to. But people walk with those things everywhere in the world so it's no big news.

[Eugine]

Well, we aren't allowed to bring anything that's not related to school at my school. So if we bring MP3 players anyday they'd confiscate it.

[Echo_djinn]

We are allowed to bring Walkmans or MP3 player in school but we are only allowed to play them in the cafeteria.

Mostly everyone in my school has a cell phone though we are not allowed to have them in school. My friends sometimes bring bandannas or dew rags which is also not allowed in school. Most of the stuff my classmates bring to school isn't allowed. =\

[Luna]

Ooh, we have that too. EVERYONE has a cell phone. Pratically 95% of the people do.

And lots of people have iPods. Everyone has a discman and that goes without saying.

Aaaand, only the smaller kids have GBA's and stuff. Many people say I'm still a little kid when they see me playing :B

[Elliott]

The same applies for mobiles at my school, and iPods/mp3 players.

Very quick way to gain the status of 'loser'.

That sucks, though I suppose it means your school would produce some pretty intelligent people.

[Wiflewood]

Ditto to the last thing. We aren't allowed anyhting electronic (besides calculators).

And the uniform sucks. We just got a new headteacher, and now she is even restricting the colour of socks. And trainers are a no-no too.

The only kind of trend I could say is that some of the girls tend to wear backpacks of a single, bright colour e.g Green or Orange, and usually quicksilver.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Whew I am happy that we don't have uniforms in Dutch school. Sheez...
Well trends now in our school are thick fake-fur and leather coates. I don't really know how to explain but they are winter coates with fake-fur only in the collar.

that was the trend here last year :silence:
Our new trend is skater clothes basically, baggy pants, sweatshirt, with a popular brand in the middle, which mine is billabong XD, and usually all matching clothes, but its not that big, here usually people just wear whatever there really arent any trends for clothes, maybe for girls yea, but for the guys its like...meh, just get a shirt that has a funny saying, or a popular brand and your good to go :P

[TheEnglishman]

Oddly enough the current trend in our school is to say to each other "You've been owned!" Some people even write it on other peoples books. It's pretty funny.

Geek culture is taking over B!TCHES!!!!! Everyone seems to use that at my school. OMG YOU GOT PWND! LOL! :silence: Not super prevalent, but more than just the hardcore geeks know of such terminology (and use it for that matter). The main clothing trend, well, that just varies based on your cliques. There isn't really an all encompassing trend. So, ya...

[Sea of Time]

We're allowed to listen to music in class (select few teachers) That's pretty sweet, but cell phones do get confiscated even though 95% of the students have them.

People use their phones all the time in lessons and the teachers just can't be bothered to stop them. It's so funny to watch someone when their phone goes off and they try to say its not theirs.

[Izar]

I "fit in" with the skaters, at least I hang with them and the people that listen to Norma Jean, Underoath, Blindside, As I Lay Dying, Haste the Day, etc. Theres not set group though.

We only got 800 kids, and I do say kids because they are immaute for the most part, at our school.

Cell Phones are widely used, i dont like them , so I don't got one.

Even though our school has a dress code, I always were a black and a black hoodie so that they can't see me if I am not in the dress code.

Everything gets you a detention or refferal (go to the office! thing)

And as MW said, being independent in trends is overrated. Why? Because there are some many people out there doing it, they've made there own group. It mixes with the posers.

[Someone Else]

I never got a cell phone either. I've never liked phones for some reason, and I just don't see the need for a cell phone.

It really is taking over. I got called a noob! The person who called me it didn't even know what it meant.

[Izar]

The only need I have for a cell phone is when I am driving, but since I am a good driver, I won't wreck...

[Mallick]

At my school, the only geek there is me. One of my friends there was a geek and used internet terms with me last year, but he moved schools. D:

So now I can say "STFU N00B LAWL!" and stuff without anyone knowing what I'm talking about. =)

[Izar]

I don't ever use geek lingo, nor would I need to. Most of my friends play internet games, and we just don't talk like that.
