It’s no doubt that the students at West Essex have a great fashion sense! Students feel they can express themselves through what they wear.

A poll was conducted out of 30 girls, asking what their favorite stores were, their go to outfits and why they like to wear UGG boots.

When asking the girls about their favorite stores to shop at, 70% said that American Eagle Outfitters was their favorite store. American Eagle offers clothing styles that appeal to teenagers.

53% of girls said that their go to outfit was leggings, UGG’s and a sweater. They prefer this outfit as opposed to jeans, Steve Madden shoes and a sweater or jeans, a sweater and boots.

West Essex students also like the chance to get a great deal on clothing.

“I love Black Friday because people get the chance to shop and not have to worry about spending hundreds of dollars,” junior Anna Malone said. “Instead they can go around and get the best deals there are.” She likes to shop at Pink and American Eagle.

As for the boys, junior Chris Duthie prefers to shop for clothes that are, “cheap and [that] tend to be cute.”

The go to outfits for the boys consists of jeans, sneakers and a sweatshirt.

However, both genders have similar taste when it comes to UGG’s. It’s almost impossible to not pass any student in the hallway without seeing a pair of UGG’s on.

“I have a pair.” junior Sameeh Zakkour said. “I wear them for the comfort.”

When it comes to UGG’s, both genders at West Essex like to style it in their outfits. UGG’s provide warmth and comfort which is great for the cold winters.

Every year teen girls expect a new trend to come in but it always turns to the classic sweater, leggings, UGG’s and a vest.

Over the years as more trends come in and out, there are some classic looks that never fade away.
