It's not about the books, or clubs, or even who we're going to have for teachers. It's what we wear that raises the bar in social society. My goal for writing this article is to recognize the latest trends, what's in style, what never was, and also let you in on ways to keep up with your appearance using little effort. Some of the trends I've come to notice are as follows:

__Scarves__ Who says scarves are only for winter? Walking through the halls, I see these symbolic winter attire everywhere. Not only are they trés cute, but they also make any outfit look dressed up without much effort.

__Skinny Jeans__ Whether or not it's for a night on the town with your best girls or for going to a punk show, these jeans are right for any person. Not to mention they look great with heels. 

__Pro Wrap & Elastic Headbands__ Lets admit it, somedays getting up early just doesn't cut it. But don't give up faith just quite yet: there's a way to have a pony tail and still look cute. How? Easy. Ladies, say hello to your new best friend: sports pro wrap and elastic headbands. All you need to do is take a comb, tease your crown at the top, throw it up in a pony tail and use the headbands to hold your hair back. The teasing adds the chicness while the headband or wrap adds a sporty touch.

Now that you've gotten all the information you need on clothes and accessories, it's time for some advice on how to wear the right clothes for your body type. Throughout this part of the article you will learn what fits your body right and how to accentuate your best features.

If you want to look:
