According to the calendar, and the ever-so-slowly melting snow outside, spring is upon us! To most people, springtime means Easter baskets full of chocolate, baby animals, and school coming to an end. I think of spring fashion possibilities: shorts, bright colors, tank tops, and sandals. Although all the students in the building simply want to lounge around in shorts and tank tops, we have to make sure that our spring attire is appropriate for school!
I am slowly counting the days until we can wear shorts to school – which is not until May. However, we girls can hold out by wearing capri pants and skirts; just make sure that they are no more than three inches above the knee! Guys, sadly, have to be patient and wait until May to wear shorts.
Like peanut butter and jelly, summer and flip-flops go together. Much to the annoyance of many students of Newman, plastic flip-flops are not allowed to be worn at school. Technically, they are classified as “beachwear.” Though affordable, cute, and comfortable, you should wait until summer breaks out to wear them on the weekdays. Students can wear leather and canvas flip-flops, and appropriate sandals. If you are looking for a store to purchase these, American Eagle has a fine selection to pick from for both women and men.
Another summer wardrobe essential is the comfortable and casual tank top. Though a key item in many a closet, any tank top worn to school (this applies more to girls) must have three inch or bigger shoulder straps. Most people are good about this rule, but if you are not sure about whether your tank is appropriate or not, throw a sweater over it or a t-shirt underneath.
Summer is a great time for fashion – we can wear open-toed shoes without our toes freezing, we don’t have to bundle up just to go to school, and we can also wear shorts! Our school however, has some rules to make sure that we are dressed properly. Though these rules seem stifling and are an annoyance sometimes, they are important to make sure all students are dressed modestly.
