First impressions are lasting impressions, and as high school students, perception will always be critical. Students at NCHS have four years to leave their mark on our school, and one way certain individuals start is through their clothing. I got the chance to speak with the students in each grade that I deemed “best dressed.” Here is what those freshmen had to say about why they dress well and their thoughts on making an impression through clothing.
Peter Swindell: “Vineyard Vines has become one of my favorite stores to wear clothes from. I like how there are many types of clothes and multiple color choices to go with that. I am becoming addicted to the pastel colors because it puts a smile on my face and reminds me of spring, my favorite season.”
Catharine Wright: “It’s important for me to dress well because I have more energy when I know I look good and don’t feel sloppy…also like not so much for school, but really anywhere you go, you’ll never know who you’ll see and the last thing you want is to look dished in front of an important person.”
Miles Turpin: “I like to look nice because it makes me feel more confident. I feel that when what I’m wearing looks good, and I know that people are going to notice. Even if they don’t like the style, just having the confidence to wear what I think looks good shows.”
Lindsay Miller: “You need to have your own style and to be yourself through your clothing. Also, I always try to shop at stores that aren’t as popular because you’ll have different things from everyone else so you are able to stand out more.”
Thomas Seelert: “Looking good allows you to thrive academically. People should always take pride in the way they hold themselves. The more confident you feel, the better your day will be.”
Catherine Granito: “It is necessary to dress to impress. Unless you’re showing off a mood you might be in, like wearing sweatpants on a lazy day!”
