How To Dress Well in High School

Once you enter high school, you'll find that things are very different than middle school. 
Students start showing their own unique styles and experimenting more with clothes. Whether you are a boy or a girl, you can dress well in high school by following a few simple guidelines :

Steps

1. Go through everything in your closet, even stuff you don't normally wear. Mix and match different outfits by layering shirts, or pairing a cheaper t-shirt with more expensive jeans.

2. Put the items you don't want (they don't fit, don't match with anything else, are unflattering colors on you) in a bag and give it to charity. Throw out clothing that is permanently stained or very worn.

3. Accessorize. You can jazz up any seemingly plain outfit. Try bold bangles, or chunky necklaces and dramatic earrings (not all at once). Experiment and you will find out what goes well with what.

4. Pick your shoes accordingly. High-heels and short skirts can come across as sleazy, but flats or flip-flops will look great with them. Longer boot-cut jeans go great with high heels by showing a hint of toe. If your pants drag on the ground, get them hemmed or cuff them.

5. Even though you want the outfit to be your style, you take some influence from magazines and things!

Tips

- Pay attention to the fit. Do those jeans hug your hips? Do they make your butt look saggy? Does that new shirt have wide shoulders, making you look like a football player?

- Different clothes suit different people. Find what you are most comfortable in and pay attention to which looks people compliment.

- As much as you may think different colors together are cute, avoid looking tacky. If you are mixing with two different colored layered tops, try to keep the theme for the entire outfit.

- You may want a friend to help you put together new outfits if you are unsure. It might be more fun doing it together.
