The mall area will never be confused with Paris fashion week, but there is plenty of hidden fashion sense on display from students hanging out with friends or heading to class. Some take their style and fashion very seriously, and others, well…not so much.It doesn't take long to spot students who take pride in what they wear, whether it is a normal day of walking to class or heading to a job interview."I've only been [in America] for a month, but I like American fashion," said Kijun Kim, an SHSU sophomore transfer student from South Korea.Kim, who was wearing a jacket inspired by vintage motorcycle racers, is up on the latest fashion for college-aged men.
"I don't really care about what shoes I wear – just mostly clothes," said Kim, adjusting the stone-colored leather jacket. "Abercrombie & Fitch and True Religions are pretty much my favorite stores to shop at."
On the other hand, some students don't mind leaving their pride at the door when it comes to intensely following fashion trends. They choose to wear whatever they feel makes them feel good about themselves.
"I would describe my style as fun and ever-changing," said Megan Lee, a junior accounting major at SHSU. "Whatever makes me happy or comfortable is what I'm going to wear. That's when you look your best."
Lee has style that she wants to keep her own.
"I love online shopping also, but I can't give away all my secret websites," Lee said. "One of my favorites that I visit regularly, though, is [Asos.com]."
Regardless of what the "in" fashions may be, the students of SHSU have a way of creating their own norms.
One reason is the extreme temperatures that Texas weather brings. It's no question that meteorological conditions play a big role in what students wear even if the forecast doesn't permit it.
The variations and expressions of styles among the students of SHSU change with each new fashion season, but light jackets, shorts, tank tops, sandals, and thin layers far outsell GORE-TEX parkas and full-length furs.
