Each morning, you wake up and make a conscious decision of what to wear. Some might throw on the closest hoodie and sweatpants and call it a day. Others may spend hours poring over every little detail of their outfit until they’re finally satisfied. 

In general, fashion serves as an outlet for self-expression. The choices made about an outfit, from the colors to the clothing style, can reveal quite a bit about someone’s values, hobbies, and interests. Whether it be in classes or the halls, you might’ve noticed someone wearing an outfit you find eye-catching. Here we feature some of those note-worthy outfits.
